Humorous satire of American Jewish life written in Gemora style, by R. Gershon Rosenzweig. The author dedicates the work in honor of “Dodi R. Shmuel Ha’Nogid- i.e. Uncle Sam”.
For hundreds of years, persecution and difficult living conditions, coupled with Talmudic minds, often cultivated a wry and sometimes satirical sense of humor. Frequently these publications reflect the times during which they were written, with cryptic references to current events.
Goldman 1102. 19 pages. 22 cm. Fine condition. First page detached. Brown paper. Antique worn binding.
Opening bid $150
