That wasn’t the pun I was referring to, but I’ll take it!

Here’s clue:

Hayseed...............

Ancient Jewish writers were fond of puns.............In Hebrew, of course!.............

I was just adding to the pile. :)

A fun subject is the creation of Jewish surnames that came out of Europe, such as

Hebrew acronyms masquerading as words/names in the local language written in Yiddish.

Talk about multilingual punnage.

“Goetz” is so fun it even adapts into English + Hebrew, go + etz, a “go” tree.

It’s like Jacob’s ladder, reaching to the gates of heaven.
