A Yiddish Who's Who: Shnorrers, Shnooks, and Others, A Guide and Coloring Book. (Grandpa's Jewish Cartoon Coloring Books) (Volume 2)

Expand your English. This Yiddish "Who's Who" is a guide and coloring book of personality types. Something funny happened on the way to the world we live in today. That funny thing was the hilarious belly laugh Borscht-Belt comedy of immigrant Jews. And Yiddish was a critical and funny part of that world. Generations of Jewish immigrants came to our English-speaking world with Yiddish, a secret language which only they spoke, and it carried their culture. Yaakov Kirschen, famous Jewish cartoonist and comedian has written and drawn this treasure of our people. It makes a great gift for a younger generation that came along after that golden age of Yiddish comedy and is a heart-warming gift for those of us who can still remember those days. And even if youâ€™re not into coloring, this cartoon â€œguideâ€ is super fun. Cartoonist Kirschen is an old guy. Mr. Shuldig, the bald hero of his Dry Bones cartoons is also an old guy. Now, after more than four decades of writing and drawing his daily Israeli/American political cartoon, Kirschen has decided to tackle something REALLY important; passing on the essence of Yiddish culture and comedy to a younger English-speaking generation and warming the hearts of other old folks who still pepper their speech with Yiddish-isms. His new project is a series called "Grandpaâ€™s Jewish Cartoon Coloring Books". Those early Yiddish-speaking immigrants expressed themselves with wickedly funny Yiddish sarcasm that dripped with cynicism. Kirschen's book is a funny English-language cartoon guide and coloring book of those Yiddish names which will help you express your Jewish heritage.
