| My Bubbes Talmud |
| If you can't say something nice, say
it in Yiddish. If it tastes good, it's probably not kosher. No one leaves a Jewish wedding hungry; but then again, no one leaves with a hangover. After the sixth day, God created Loehmann's. No one looks good in a yarmulke. The optimist sees the bagel, the pessimist sees the hole. Why spoil a good meal with a big tip? WASPs leave and never say good-bye. Jews say good-bye and never leave. Twenty percent off is a bargain; fifty percent off is a mitzvah. Wine needs to breathe, so don't rush through the kiddush. Remember, even Sandy Koufax didn't play ball on Yom Kippur. Israel is the land of milk and honey; Florida is the land of milk of magnesia. The High Holidays have absolutely nothing to do with marijuana. Always whisper the names of diseases. If you don't eat, it will kill me. Anything worth saying is worth repeating a thousand times. Where there's smoke, there may be smoked salmon. Never take a front-row seat at a bris. Prune danish is an acquired taste. Next year in Jerusalem. The year after that, how about a nice cruise? Never leave a restaurant empty-handed. Spring ahead, fall back, winter in Miami Beach. Before you read the menu, read the prices. According to Jewish dietary law, pork and shellfish may be eaten only in Chinese restaurants. If you're going to whisper at the movies, make sure it's loud enough for everyone else to hear. No meal is complete without leftovers. What business is a yenta in? Yours. If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it. But if you can afford it, make sure you tell everybody what you paid. The only thing more important than a good education is a good parking spot at the mall. Prozac is like chicken soup: it doesn't cure anything, but it makes you feel better. Laugh now, but one day you'll be driving a big Cadillac and eating dinner at four in the afternoon. |
| Yiddish Proverbs / Folk-Sayings |
| If they give you--take; if they take
from you--yell! Charge nothing and you'll get a lot of customers. Don't spit into the well--you might drink from it later. Cancer--schmancer! -- as long as you're healthy. Do not worry about tomorrow, because you do not even know what may happen to you today. If one person tells you that you have ass's ears, take no notice; should two tell you so, procure a saddle for yourself. You can't chew with somebody else's teeth. If you spit upwards, you're bound to get it back in the face. You can't dance at two weddings at the same time; nor can you sit on two horses with one behind. Had you gotten up early, you wouldn't have needed to stay up late. One who has the reputation of an early riser may safely lie in bed until noon. For dying, you always have time. When a fool is silent, he too is counted among the wise. Silence is the fence around wisdom. |

| My Son |
| Two elderly Jewish ladies meet on a
street corner. "So Sadie, how's by you I haven't seen you in years?" "Marvelous, Rivkah, things couldn't be better! My son Harold is an Accountant making lots of money. My daughter Cynthia married a rich man, and both of my children have given me beautiful grandchildren and so much naches...but enough about my joys...so what's by you and your family?" "Oy Sadie, don't ask! Me, I have such tsores!" "Nu Rivkah, I'm so sorry to hear that; but what kind of tsores?" "It's my son Arnold. He revealed to us that he's a faygeleh." "Oy, a faygeleh, what a disaster!" "I know, but we do have a consolation..." "Vos for a consolation with a faygeleh?" "Well, he's going with such a nice Jewish boy who's going to be a doctor!" |
| Truer Words Were Never spoken |
A
little Jewish boy was telling his mother about how he had won
a part in a play that was being done at school. His mother asked, "What is
the part you will play, Saul?"
Saul responded, "I shall play the Jewish husband," to which the mother
replied, "Well, you go right back to that teacher and tell her that

| From The Great Beyond |
For
months, Mrs. Pitzel had been nagging her husband to go with her
to the seance parlor of Madame Freda. "Milty, she's a real gypsy, and she brings
the voices of the dead from the other world. We all talk to them!
Last week I talked with my mother, may she rest in peace. Milty,
for twenty dollars you can talk to your zayde who you miss so much!" Milton Pitzel could not resist her appeal. At the very next seance at Madam Freda's Seance Parlor, Milty sat under the colored light at the green table, holding hands with the person on each side. All were humming, "Oooom, oooom, tonka tooom." Madame Freda, her eyes lost in trance, was making passes over a crystal ball. "My medium...Vashtri," she called. "Come in. Who is that with you? Who? Mr. Pitzel" Milton Pitzel's zayde?" Milty swallowed the lump in his throat and called, "Grampa? Zayde?" "Ah, Milteleh?" a thin voice quavered. "Yes! Yes!" cried Milty. "This is your Milty! Zayde, are you happy in the other world?" "Milteleh, I am in bliss. With your bubbe together, we laugh, we sing. We gaze upon the shining face of the Lord!" A dozen more questions did Milty ask of his zayde, and each question did his zayde answer, until " So now, Milteleh, I have to go. The angels are calling. Just one more question I can answer. Ask. Ask." "Zayde," sighed Milty, "when did you learn to speak English?" |
| Tickets, Anyone? |
| Mr. and Mrs. Greenberg go out to see
My Fair Lady on stage. This is the most sold out show of the year,
and scalpers are retiring on this one.
Somehow, they've lucked into front row seats. But they notice that in the row behind them, there's an empty seat. When intermission comes and no one has sat in that seat, Mrs. Greenberg turns to the woman sitting next to it and asks, "Pardon me, but this is such a sold out show, and in such demand. We were wondering why that seat is empty." The woman says, "That's my late husband's seat." Mrs. Greenberg is horrified and apologizes for being so insensitive. But a few minutes later, she turns around again. "Without meaning to be rude or anything, this is an incredibly hard show to get into. Surely you must have a friend or a relative who would have wanted to come and see the show?" The woman nods, but explains, "They're all at the funeral."

| What's In A Name? |
| A young Jewish guy develops a crush on a girl, but when he tells his Father about her, the old boy just wants to know her family name. When the young guy tells him that the girl's name is Ford, the old boy tells him that Ford is not a good Jewish name, and he must forget her, and go and find a nice Jewish girl. So time passes, and the young guy finds another girl, but her name is Austin, so his Father tells him the same thing, to find a nice Jewish girl with a nice Jewish name. So more time passes, and the young guy finds another girl, but this time he is sure that he has solved the problem because the girl's name is Goldberg. "Goldberg !" exclaims his Father, "This makes me very happy because it is a real good Jewish name, and from a good established family" Then he asks what her first name is. "Is it one of my favorite names, like Rachael, or Rebecca ?" "No Father" replied the young guy. "It's Whoopi" |
| Man and Wife |
| An Israeli mayor in a small town is
walking past a construction site with his wife. One of the construction
workers stops and calls out to the woman.
"What's new, Sara?" "Why, it's nice to see you again Avi," the woman replies. She turns to introduce her husband to the construction worker, and they speak for several minutes. After the mayor and his wife continue on, he turns to his wife to ask how she knows him. "Oh," she said. "We went together in high school. I even thought about marrying him." The husband began to laugh. "You don't realize how lucky you are. If I hadn't come along, today you would be the wife of a construction worker!" The wife replied without hesitation, "Not really. If I had married him, he'd now be a mayor!" |

| The Good Book Says |
| Rabbi Tarfon of Bet She'an said of Rabbi
Shlomo ben Yechezkel of Tiverya: It is said that in those days Rabbi
Shlomo ben Yechezkel of Tiverya designed a web site for the mother
of his father, Sarah the daughter of Pinchas, who begot Yechezkel, who begot Rabbi Shlomo ben Yechezkel of Tiverya. Thus Rabbi Shlomo ben Yechezkel of Tiverya performed the mitzvah of web site design. Rabbi Michael ben Elkanah, who only
had one eye, said: But is it not also said that in those days there
was no web, only gopher? Rabbi Shmaryahu of
Hevron said: It is true, but as it is written: "A web browser may
also use the gopher protocol, in addition to the HTTP protocol." Rabbi
Eliezer asked: Why does it specifically mention that the web browser
may also use the gopher protocol, when it is written elsewhere that
a web browser may use any protocol? Because the gopher Rabbi Gideon of Sh'chem
disagreed, saying: It [the Mishnah] also teaches: "When a poor man requests space on
an FTP server, you must grant it without asking why he is going to
use it." Why would the

| Chanukah Gelt |
| It
was two days before Chanukah and Mr. Feldman, quite downcast, was
trudging home. "Where will I get money
to buy presents for the holiday?" he asked himself sadly, thinking
of his wife and children. On the way, he passed a church, in front
of which was a sign: One Hundred Dollars Cash To Anyone Who Joins This Church Today! Here was the solution to Feldman's problem! He went in, joined, and was given the hundred dollars as the sign promised. That evening, at supper, he told his family how he had come by his sudden wealth. "And here's the hundred," he announced grandly, waving the money before them. "Darling," said his wife, "you remember that coat you promised me three years ago? Well it's on sale at Macy's." "How much is it?" "Only fifty dollars, and it's worth at least eighty five." Feldman peeled off five tens and gave them to her. The son spoke up. "Pop, for a long time I've been saving up to buy one of those English bikes with ten gear shifts. I already have most of the money, but I need a little more." "How much more?" "Twenty five dollars." Feldman handed over the money. "Daddy," said his teen age daughter, "next week our school is having the most important dance of the whole year. If I don't have a new dress, I'll simply die." "Don't die Sweetheart. How much is the dress?" "Only twenty five dollars, Daddy dear." Feldman handed over the remaining twenty five dollars, leaned back and grinned. "It never fails," he announced. "The minute we Gentiles have a little money, you Jews take it away from us!" Back to top |
