Djoha (or Joha) is the naive yet cunning hero of countless trickster tales shared by Jews and Muslims of the Mediterranean world. A cousin of the Turkish Nasreddin, he embodies absurdity and popular wisdom. His stories, transmitted in Judeo-Arabic and Judeo-Spanish, are a pillar of Sephardic folk humour.
