An interesting introduction in praise of the people of Israel who, despite all the suffering and the long exile, always when you pass by the houses of the Jews, you will hear the laughter emanating from everywhere. Exile did not have the power to dampen the joy of life and laughter of the Jew. The author writes that many of the humor in the book are based on 'old Jewish humor' from previous generations.
