This book is a guide and coloring book of Jewish "curses". This book is not about cursing as in the kind of “cursing” you do when you hit your thumb with a hammer. 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 generation and warming the hearts of other old folks. His new project is a series called "Grandpa’s Jewish Cartoon Coloring Books". Those early Yiddish-speaking immigrants expressed their frustrations and anger through wickedly funny Yiddish curses that dripped with cynicism. Kirschen's book is a funny cartoon guide and coloring book based on English translations of those sometimes rough explosions of Yiddish one-liners which were the basis of what we now call "Jewish humor".
Jewish Curses a Guide and Coloring Book Dry Bones Cartoon Drawings Grandpa Jewish Cartoon Coloring Books Volume 1 Yaakov Kirschen Books
This book contains 29 Yiddish curses translated into English and illustrated with Yaakov Kirschen's always funny cartoons. I really enjoyed the book but I'm unlikely to use it as a coloring book. Yaakov's other coloring book about the Jewish holidays is also good, and a more likely choice for coloring by children. The book could have been better if Yaakov had included the original Yiddish curses, both in Yiddish/Hebrew script and in English transliteration. He also just scratched the surface of Yiddish curses and we'd like to see an expanded edition with many more, including one of our favorites, "May you grow like an onion with your head in the ground and your feet in the air."Product details

Makes it fun to curse
Really funny
"A bissil tzu gass"
These curses are a riot. Can't turn a page without having a smile and a good laugh. Just what the Dr. ordered for those having a blue day.
I was disappointed. I expected more of the traditional ones, e.g., "A child should be named for you soon."
FUN, NOW WILL GIVE TO MY DAUGHTER/GRANDDAUGHTERS
Not that many curses--each curse gets a whole page since it's ostensibly a coloring book. And they are missing some favorite ones.
