&lt;p&gt;Although he has no problem with Brooks' understanding of the word &lt;em&gt;heymish &lt;/em&gt;(to give it the &lt;a title="YIVO Institute for Jewish Research" href="http://www.yivoinstitute.org/"&gt;YIVO&lt;/a&gt; transliteration), Wex &lt;strong&gt;does&lt;/strong&gt; have something to say about whether or not it's appropriate to use in the context of a luxury holiday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;You’re living the reverse of Freud’s favorite joke, the one that Heinrich Heine put into the mouth of a heymisher luftmentsh named Hirsch-Hyacinth: “I sat beside Salomon Rothschild and he treated me quite as his equal, quite famillionairely.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Art of the Kvetch: Jewish Humor as Secularism&lt;/em&gt; was presented by the Jewish Studies department at Eugene Lang College, part of The New School for Liberal Arts. The other participants were Noah Isenberg, author of &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0803220634/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;#038;tag=michaelwex-20&amp;#038;linkCode=as2&amp;#038;camp=217145&amp;#038;creative=399349&amp;#038;creativeASIN=0803220634"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Between Redemption and Doom: The Strains of German-Jewish Modernism&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and editor and translator of &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0520215125/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;#038;tag=michaelwex-20&amp;#038;linkCode=as2&amp;#038;camp=217145&amp;#038;creative=399349&amp;#038;creativeASIN=0520215125"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Face of East European Jewry&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Arnold Zweig; Jeffrey Israel, author of a dissertation on Jewish humor and politics; and Val Vinokur, author of &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0810125854/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;#038;tag=michaelwex-20&amp;#038;linkCode=as2&amp;#038;camp=217145&amp;#038;creative=399349&amp;#038;creativeASIN=0810125854"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Trace of Judaism: Dostoevsky, Mandelstam, Babel, Levinas&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is the premise for the debate:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The modern tradition of Jewish humor emerged from the same ideological ferment that produced Zionism, Liberal Judaism, Modern Orthodoxy, and a wide variety of secular forms of Jewish identity. To this day, Jewish humor reinforces the bond between Jews even as globalization has brought it to millions of non-Jews. Is this lively tradition the result of a seed of humor planted deep in Jewish textual traditions, or is Jewish humor an exercise in self- loathing by an insecure minority? Having transcended its Yiddish forms in American comedy (from Lenny Bruce to Larry David), is Jewish humor a way for Jews to be Jews in a genre at once particular and universally accessible?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can view the entire panel discussion by watching the video below (&lt;em&gt;please note - if you receive this blog post as an email you will have to click on the link to the website to view the video&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ingredients&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2  1/2 lbs. potatoes (russets - about 6 medium)&lt;br /&gt;
1 large onion&lt;br /&gt;
1/2  cup matzo meal&lt;br /&gt;
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt&lt;br /&gt;
2 extra large eggs, beaten&lt;br /&gt;
1/4  cup peanut oil (use olive or walnut oil if you consider peanut oil &lt;a href="http://ohr.edu/ask_db/ask_main.php/147/Q1/" target="_new"&gt;&lt;em&gt;kitniot&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
and.....  my secret weapon - - - white pepper to taste&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Preparation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Preheat  the oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit. Generously grease a 9x12 glass  baking dish. Wash and peel the potatoes and slice them into quarters  (keep them in a bowl of ice water). Peel and cut the onion in quarters.  Dry the potatoes and alternately grate with the onions in a food  processor. Pour into a large bowl and add the matzo meal, eggs and oil.  Stir. Add salt and the white pepper to taste (careful with the pepper - a  little goes a long way). Tap and taste and adjust salt and pepper if  necessary. Pour into the baking dish. Bake until golden brown on top and  bottom. About 1 hour. Serves 12.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Libby said:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apologies to Mrs. Furmanovsky! (To understand this reference you'd better read Wex's tale of kugel revenge - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a title="The Kugel Story by Michael Wex" href="http://michaelwex.com/the-kugel-story"&gt;The Kugel Story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
