ROSENZWEIG, GERSHON. Masecheta America...Talmud Yankee

Satire of American-Jewish life written in the traditional Talmudic style.The author humerously dedicates the work to “Dodi R. Shmuel Hanagid” more familiarly known as “Uncle Sam”. According to Davidson; “The cleverest and most prolific of all American parodists is Gershon Rosenzweig...He has a keen sense of humor and considerable powers of observation. He knows the life of his brethren and depicts it in true colors, exaggerating only when necessary to produce a stronger effect. He certainly is one of the cleverest punsters in Hebrew literature.” viz. History of Parody in Jewish Literature (1966) p. 108
