A 25-year-old Jewish girl | |
A 25-year-old Jewish girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period for 2 months. Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit. The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. Half an hour later, a Mercedes stops in front of their house. A mature and distinguished man with gray hair and wearing a yarmulke steps out of the car and enters the house. He sits uneasily in the living room with the father, mother, and the girl and tells them, "Good morning. Your daughter has informed me of the problem. |

Moish Silverstein's Injury | |
The Rabbi asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers. Suzie Silverstein stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Moish, had a terrible motorcycle accident and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him." You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagine the pain that poor Moish must have experienced. "Moish was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain." We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Moish's scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place." Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Moish. "Now," she announced in a quivering voice, "thank the Lord, Moish is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely." All the men sighed with unified relief. The Rabbi rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say. A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium. He said, "I'm Moish Silverstein." The entire congregation held its breath. "I just want to tell my wife the word is sternum." |

Request for Naval Officers Who Can Dance | |
A US Navy cruiser anchored in Mississippi for a week's shore leave. The first evening, the ship's Captain received the following note from the wife of a very wealthy and influential plantation owner: "Dear Captain, Thursday will be my daughter's Debutant Ball. "They should arrive promptly at 8:00 PM prepared for an evening of
polite Southern conversation. They should be excellent dancers, as they will
be the escorts of lovely refined young ladies. One last point: "No Jews please." "Madam, thank you for your invitation. In order to present the widest possible knowledge base for polite conversation, I am sending four of my best and most prized officers." "One is a lieutenant commander and a graduate of Annapolis with an additional Masters degree from MIT in fluid technologies and ship design." "The second is a Lieutenant, one of our helicopter pilots and a graduate of Northwestern university in Chicago , with a BS in Aeronautical Engineering. His Masters Degree and PhD. In Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering are from Texas Tech University and he is also an astronaut candidate." "The third officer is also a lieutenant, with degrees in both computer systems and information technology from SMU and he is awaiting notification on his Doctoral Dissertation from Cal Tech." "Finally, the fourth officer, also a lieutenant commander, is our ship's doctor, with an undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia and his medical degree is from the University of North Carolina . We are very proud of him, as he is also a senior fellow in Trauma Surgery at Bethesda. Upon receiving this letter, Melinda's mother was quite excited and looked forward to Thursday with pleasure. Her daughter would be escorted by four handsome naval officers without peer (and the other women in her social circle would be insanely jealous). At precisely 8:00 PM on Thursday, Melinda's mother heard a polite rap at the door which she opened to find, in full dress uniform, four very handsome, smiling Black officers. Her mouth fell open, but pulling herself together, she stammered, "There must be some mistake." "No, Madam," said the first officer. "Captain Goldberg never makes mistakes." |

A Jewish father was very troubled | |
A Jewish father was very troubled by the way his son turned out and went to see his rabbi about it. "Rabbi, I brought him up in the faith, gave him a very expensive Bar Mitzvah and it cost me a fortune to educate him. Then he tells me last week, he's decided to be a Christian. Rabbi, where did I go wrong?" The rabbi strokes his beard and says, "Funny you should come to me. I too, brought up my son as a boy of faith, sent him to university and it cost me a fortune and then one day he comes to me and tells me he wants to be a Christian." "What did you do?" asked the man of the rabbi. "I turned to God for the answer," replied the rabbi. "What did he say?" asked the man. He said, "Funny you should come to me..." |

Two Kids | |
Two kids are in a hospital each lying on a stretcher next to each other outside the operating room. The first kid leans over and asks, "what are you in here for?" The second kid says, "I'm getting my tonsils out. I'm a little nervous." The first kid says, "You've got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep and when you wake up, they give you lots of jello and ice cream. It's a breeze." The second kid then asked, "What are you in here for?" The first kids says, "a circumcision." The second kid replies, "Whoa, good luck buddy. I had that done when I was born and I couldn't walk for a year." |

Matzo | |
A Jewish man took his Passover lunch to eat outside in the park. He sat down on a bench and began eating. A little while later a blind man came by and sat down next to him. Feeling neighborly, the Jewish man passed a sheet of matzo to the blind man. The blind man ran his fingers over the matzo for a few minutes, looked puzzled, and finally exclaimed, "Who wrote this crap?" |

Praying at the Kotel | |
A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site. She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview. "Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?"Morris Feinberg," he replied. "Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?""For about 60 years." "60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?""I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims." "I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop." "I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults and to love their fellow man." "I pray that politicians tell us the truth and put the interests of the people ahead of their own interests." And finally "I pray that everyone will be happy". "How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?""Like I'm talking to a wall." |

Don't Ever Lie To A Rabbi | |
At Friday night services, Morris went to his friend Irving and said, "Irving, I need a favour. I'm sleeping with the Rabbi's wife. Can you hold him in the temple for an hour after services for me?" Irving was not very fond of the idea, but being Morris' lifelong friend, he reluctantly agreed. After services, he struck up a conversation with the Rabbi asking him all sorts of stupid questions in an effort to keep him occupied. The wise Rabbi eventually became suspicious and asked, "Irving what are you really up to with all this?" Irving, filled with feelings of guilt and remorse, confessed to the Rabbi, "I'm sorry Rabbi, my friend Morris is sleeping with your wife right now and asked me to keep you occupied." The Rabbi smiled, and putting a brotherly hand on Irving's shoulder, said: "Irving I think you'd better hurry home - My wife died two years ago!” |
