Quote by Fred Melamed

I don't really know of the Jewish tradition of comedy, only the Jewish tradition of not keeping your mouth shut. Complaining about all that is hard, unfair or ridiculous in life-having strong feelings, and not being able to suppress them. That, to me, is Jewish.


I don't really know of the Jewish tradition of comedy, only

Summary

In this quote, the author expresses that they are aware of the Jewish tradition of speaking out and not remaining silent about issues they find challenging, unjust, or absurd in life. They associate this tradition with having strong feelings and being unable to suppress them, rather than specifically identifying it with the Jewish tradition of comedy. For the author, this willingness to openly express oneself and voice discontent is what makes it distinctively Jewish.
