Henry Rabin Livres

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!

Dayenu cartoons brought laughs to many readers of Jewish newspapers in the 1960s, with their very Jewish eye on the Jewish world - and here is a collection of dozens of them. Written by Rabbi Henry Rabin and drawn by artist Leonard Pritikin (working together under the name "Henry Leonard"). these cartoons were published in Angle-Jewish newspapers around the globe. This volume takes its pokes not just at the shul and those who attend (and those who avoid), but takes it's particular view to look at space travel, shopping, celebrating, and so much more. The foreword is by Harry Golden, the author and publisher best remembered for such essay collections as Only in America and For 2[ Plain.

"Dayenu" was a popular cartoon in its day, appearing in over 60 papers across the English-speaking Jewish world. These gags by "Henry Leonard" (in reality the team of writer Rabbi Henry Rabin and artist Leonard Pritikin) are by Jews, for Jews, and very, very much about Jews. Originally published in 1960, this collection is available again for the first time in decades. Look also for the collections Never on Shabbas!, With a Little Bit of Mazel-Tov!, and Bagel Power, or get all four books together in the affordable compilation Dayenu Dayenu.
