How Contemporary Ethnic Stand-Up has Dragged Jewish Humor into the Gutter We are witness to the recent appearance of Jewish stand-up comedians who – though allegedly grounded in PC/Woke equality and diversity principles – serve up anti-Jewish humor to appreciative wide audiences. The discussion begins with a focus on Ari Shaffir’s latest performance labeled “Jew” as a springboard for an overall analysis and debate of Jewish humor, branching out to Ethnic Humor and Self-Deprecating Humor, to the very essence of Humor Theory per se. Insofar as self-directed humor often serves as a disguised mode of criticism in context where explicit criticism is taboo, the discussants explore alternate recourses to questioning which might be available to youngsters and adults who are on the verge of breaking out of the constraints of stifling religious cultures.  Prof. Juni notes Shaffir’s methodology of Ecumenical Religio-Washing where repetitions of one anti-Catholic byte are interspersed throughout the diatribe in an attempt to temper the pointed anti-Jewish message of the presentation. Tellingly, Ari is “wise” enough not to incorporate any anti-Black (or much of anti-any-other-group) tidbits in his titillating racist, misogynist, antisemitic potpourri.  Rabbi Kivelevitz cites a number of classic comedians of the last two decades, as he argues that the Woke-sanctioned license to criticize Jews exists because they have been designated by the new demi-god of Intersectionality as part of the White Power-Structure, and thus excluded from the privileged PC diversity category which exempts some – and only some -- “minority” groups from criticism or critique.  Juni outlines the academic understanding of self-directed humor, highlighting several key elements: a. The anti-Jew joke delivered by the Jew is intended to give the messages: Those people are not me at all, as evidenced by the fact that I am putting” them” down. b. Here I am making fun of myself, so there is nothing more you can possibly say to denigrate me.   c. Since I am now in charge of hitting myself on the head, I can moderate just I hard I do it – and I’ll make sure it hurts me less than if you would hit me. d. This is my “joking” way of criticizing the Jewish (or Orthodox, traditional, etc.) establishment with minimal retribution – being that it’s supposedly just being said in jest. Zeroing in on the last element, Juni deplores the code of silence which characterizes much of traditional religious culture which forces many young people to abandon the system altogether – if they don’t have alternate venting options (such as humor). Prof. Juni elaborates that while behavioral codes are necessarily and even desirable in society, thought policing is the bane of healthy development. R. Kivelevitz emphatically disagrees with Juni’s stance, as he references a number of commentators who openly question some of the very same “absurdities” that Shaffir lambasts in his diatribes, which clearly indicates that challenging and questioning are parts of the standard discourse in traditional Jewish thought. Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.  He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchak Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchik. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.  Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.  Below is a partial list of the professional journals where Professor Juni has published 120 theoretical articles and his research findings (many are available online):  Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of

 The Memorial as a False Idol    The institution of naming streets and erecting buildings to honor heroes and others is scrutinized from sociological, psychological, and existential perspectives. As a parallel motif,the recent woke-grounded phenomenon of tearing down monuments and un-naming streets and endeavors is similarly analyzed. With some debate and qualifications,both discussants agree the intent in these namings is to keep the hero’s ideals alive for a long time, allowing him/her to exist even after death.   Prof. Juni argues that the extant dynamic here is anxiety about death and the dread of mortality. Psychiatrically,this effort would definitely be classified as delusional, but its pathology ismitigated by the fact that the tendency is so widespread across cultures.  Annotating his rebuttal from highlights from famous films and literary work, R. Kivelevitz presents his position that the primary impetus for these memorial efforts is the striving offamily members to keep alive the memory of a loved one. Thus, it is the survivors’ discomfort with the curtailed existence of their loved one which is central here rather than the yearnings of the deceased as such.  Juni goes on to elaborate that any human activity is inherently insignificant unless it is anchored in a transcendent belief system that features more than the physical world. Heargues that the drive to produce or to achieve any laudable goals is merely a sublimated neurotic effort to deal with death anxiety while being anchored in the recognition of existential meaninglessness.   Taking the political perspective of street naming -- particularly in Israel, Juni interprets the ubiquitous phenomenon as anaspect of colonization – i.e., affixing an indigenous Israeli stamp throughout the Jewish state. He sees this effort as a form of colonization via re-naming.  R. Kivelevitz concludes by recounting some of his own transcendent experiences in connection with memorials to sages and his Rabbinic mentors long departed, whose significanceJuni politely follows with demurrals.   Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.  He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchak Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchik.
