Expand your English. This Yiddish "Who's Who" is a guide and coloring book of personality types. Something funny happened on the way to the world we live in today. That funny thing was the hilarious belly laugh Borscht-Belt comedy of immigrant Jews. And Yiddish was a critical and funny part of that world. Generations of Jewish immigrants came to our English-speaking world with Yiddish, a secret language which only they spoke, and it carried their culture. Yaakov Kirschen, famous Jewish cartoonist and comedian has written and drawn this treasure of our people. It makes a great gift for a younger generation that came along after that golden age of Yiddish comedy and is a heart-warming gift for those of us who can still remember those days. And even if you’re not into coloring, this cartoon “guide” is super fun. Cartoonist Kirschen is an old guy. Mr. Shuldig, the bald hero of his Dry Bones cartoons is also an old guy. Now, after more than four decades of writing and drawing his daily Israeli/American political cartoon, Kirschen has decided to tackle something REALLY important; passing on the essence of Yiddish culture and comedy to a younger English-speaking generation and warming the hearts of other old folks who still pepper their speech with Yiddish-isms. His new project is a series called "Grandpa’s Jewish Cartoon Coloring Books". Those early Yiddish-speaking immigrants expressed themselves with wickedly funny Yiddish sarcasm that dripped with cynicism. Kirschen's book is a funny English-language cartoon guide and coloring book of those Yiddish names which will help you express your Jewish heritage.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Kirschen's cartoons deliver a unique blend of Jewish humor and Israeli chutzpah. Brooklyn born (in 1938) cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen made Aliyah to Israel in 1971 and began writing and drawing his much loved Dry Bones cartoons in January of 1973 for the Jerusalem Post. Kirschen continues his daily cartoons on his Blog, his Facebook Fan Page and in many Jewish newspapers worldwide. Kirschen is a member of both America's National Cartoonists Society and the Israeli Cartoonists Society. The award-winning Dry Bones cartoons are internationally syndicated and have been running in the Jerusalem Post for more than 40 years, reprinted in the New York Times, Time magazine, the LA Times, Wall Street Journal, and other major mainstream media publications. The Dry Bones story has been covered by CBS, CNN, Forbes and many others. His "Dry Bones Passover Haggadah" has won high praises as a fun and easy to use, Kosher Passover experience. "Trees... the Green Testament", was acclaimed as a work of prophecy by the Wall Street Journal when it was first published in 1992. Now Kirschen has updated and annotated it and re published it. He has also made a beautiful coloring book of it called, "Song of the Trees" that will be much loved. He has also just published a "Dry Bones Jewish Holiday Traditions Coloring Book" of memorable Dry Bones Cartoons for every holiday of the Jewish Year. Kirschen's popular series "Grandpa's Jewish Cartoon Coloring Books" is devoted to expanding the use of Yiddish-isms in our everyday speech.
