The Judeo-Spanish name Djoha is the equivalent of Hodja Nasreddin in Turkish. The Judeo-Spanish anecdotes represent women as clever mothers, wives, and daughters, and address men as fathers, husbands, and sons. A folkloristic cognitive translation and peace teaching method is developed for analyzing these characters’ moral messages. Furthermore, this study deals with the concepts of food and family in Judeo-Spanish anecdotes according to the point of view of the semantic humor hypothesis created by Attardo and Raskin in 1991. As indicated by this hypothesis of verbal and phonetic humor, a joke is made by script oppositions, logical mechanisms, situations, targets, narrative strategies, and linguistic games. This study comprises of the investigations of these in the Judeo-Spanish anecdotes. Thus, this study targets showing that the youngsters living all around the world can be educated in a phenomenal way, conceiving the semantic components, prompting humor in the Sephardic anecdotes. The translated texts must reflect the same cultural humor from a folkloristic point of view for this reason, considering that cultural commonalities in humor leads to laughter and happiness, acquiring global moral values.
