I totally agree, Erika. I've missed his voice lately, and this essay in
Sapir was Jacobson at his best.
I remember that one of Jeremy Corbyn's most antisemitic comments was that
British Jews "don't understand English irony."  Read anything by Jacobson,
and you'll see that he sits solidly within the fine tradition of British
irony going back at least to Jonathan Swift.  And this piece in Sapir packs
plenty of it! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you to Erica for sharing this piece. You are right! It is brilliant.
It should be sent to National Hillel.
