Re: Interesting comment

While I agree that "laughing with tears " is a Jewish characteristic, 
the vast majority of Yiddish folksongs, especially those sung by 
women are just about "tears" and very little  about laughing. Most 
humorous songs were probably sung by men. I am referring to the 
"shtetl culture" if I can refer to as that- Itzik
