Israeli cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen, known for his 'Dry Bones' cartoon, passed away at the age of 87. Kirschen used humor to satirize daily life in Israel and kept spirits high during difficult times. He normalized Israeli craziness and exposed Jew-hating hypocrisy through his cartoons. Kirschen's work resonated with generations of Diaspora Jews and helped them fall in love with Israeli faults and heroics.
