In addition, Jewish cartoonists frequently applied traditional Jewish themes to critical commentary on current cultural and political events. The cartoonists of the Yiddish press were therefore engaged not only in a radical subversion of Jewish tradition but also in a reassessment of what Jewish caricature should be, as opposed to the antisemitic caricature of the non-Jewish satirical press. Moreover, the vast majority of Jewish texts, particularly those used on a daily basis, did not contain illustrations of any kind. Never having been seen previously in Jewish life, such visual parody was an unprecedented innovation among Yiddish-speaking Jews in Poland, partly because of its sheer novelty and partly because art without a religious connection was discouraged among Jews. In addition to jokes, humorous stories, poems, and many parodies, Yiddish satirical journals would come to include numerous cartoons and caricatures.
Alongside the mainstream press, a Jewish satirical press began to flourish in the Yiddish language in both eastern Europe and America. This chapter explores religious iconography in cartoons of the Polish Yiddish press.
