Purim Torah

Parodies of Jewish life and the world have been found as early as the twelfth century.

[3] Purim Torah authors, often displaying an amazing grasp of Jewish knowledge, playfully use some of the far-fetched methods of Talmudic logic and Biblical exegesis in order to reach absurd conclusions.

[2] Eliezer Segal points to a passage in the Talmud as the first suggestion of a Purim Torah.

In a passage on Hulin 139b, a sage offers up a series of interesting puns in order to find allusions to characters from the Purim story in the Torah.

[2] Others such as Israel Davidson state that while there is humor present in the Talmud, calling any part of it a parody is simply untrue.
