By Josef Joffe
Eine deutsch-jüdische Kultur, die von Moses Mendelssohn bis zu Franz Kafka reicht und ein Drittel der deutschen Nobelpreisträger vor 1933 hervorgebracht hat, gibt es nicht mehr, auch die osteuropäische ist verschwunden. Aber der jüdische Humor lebt. Und er funktioniert wie eh und je: das Wortspiel, die Aggression, die sich in Selbstironie auflöst, die zugespitzte, aber nicht verletzende Pointe, der schnelle Stich in die Blase der Selbstgefälligkeit, das Hangeln im Absurden, ein atemloses pace – die Melancholie verfliegt im befreienden Gag, das Menschlich-Allzumenschliche wird mit einer Prise Lebensweisheit serviert.
Joffes geistreiche und leidenschaftliche Darstellung des jüdischen Humors unterhält vorzüglich, auch wenn guy zugleich die Bitternis spürt, die im Witz vertrieben wird. Ein außergewöhnlicher Blick auf die Welt des Judentums, wie guy sie bisher nicht kannte.
