In the 1950s and 1960s, Anglo-Jewish newspapers around the world carried “Dayenu”, a gag cartoon by, about, and for Jews. Written by Rabbi Henry Rabin and drawn by artist Leonard Pritikin – working together under the name “Henry Leonard” – these cartoons took a wry look at the synagogue, the community, and the world.
During the 1960s, Crown Publishers of New York published a series of collections of the comic, and now all four of those collections are combined into a single volume for the first time. Hundreds of cartoons from Open Your Mouth and Say “Oy”, Never on Shabbas!, With a Little Bit of Mazel-Tov!, and Bagel Power fill the pages of this book, a wonderful gift item!
