Abstract

The witticism widespread in Jewish communities embody commonplaces of anti-Semitism. A kind of catharsis occurs and people laugh at their own fears. Freud's words "I do not know whether there are many other instances of a people making fun to such a degree of its own character" are still valid today. The author looks at the mother as the metaphor of Judaism.
