I rewrote the page to cover better the history and range of humor, along with a bit more explanation of the nature of Jewish humor. If anyone has better example jokes, especially of Israeli jokes or jokes told by the Hasidic masters, please insert them! (Though I was happy to use one from Woody Allen's Hasidic Tales, a real one would be preferred) --Goodoldpolonius2 04:56, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
If some sources refer to it as Jewish humor and it's notable enough, it might potentially be referenced in the article... —PaleoNeonate – 00:29, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
A significant part part of the article is just a collection of randomly selected jokes without any indication of their relevance or importance, or encyclopedic value. There are hundreds of books - collections of Jewish humor, with thousands of jokes. An encyclopedic article must provide some kind of scholarly research. I am going to start deleting jokes not discussed in reliable sources (jokebooks are not reliable sources) as WP:UNDUE. Also, refenences to comedians' cracks are a no-go per WP:PRIMARY: primary sources must be used only to corroborate the research cited in wikipedia from secondary sources.
