Moishie and the Shabbos Table

Friday afternoon, 5-year-old Moishie Sherman came in while his parents were setting the table for Shabbos Dinner. Quite surprisingly, Moishie asked if he could help. His mother said, "No, but I appreciate your asking." Little Moishie responded, "Well, I appreciate you saying no."

Shmulik and the Doctor's Appointment

Shmulik Hadari was suffering from a bad case of the flu, so he called his doctor in Tel Aviv to get an appointment. When he was told the scheduled date of the appointment, he became outraged and bellowed, "Three weeks? The doctor can't see me for three weeks? I could well be dead by then!" Calmly, the receptionist replied, "If so, would you have your wife call to cancel the appointment?"

Leah at the Cemetery

As Leah is visiting her late father's grave in the Beth Israel Cemetery, she passes a woman who is sobbing and wailing at another grave. Leah can easily hear that the woman is saying, "Oh why, oh why did you die? Why did you have to die?" After paying her respects to her father, Leah is leaving the cemetery when she passes the sobbing woman again. She is still wailing, "Why, oh why did you have to die?" Leah feels pity for this woman and walks over to try to comfort her. "Pardon me, I hope you don't mind me coming over, but I heard your cries of pain and anguish. I assume the deceased was a relative of yours?" "No she's not," says the other woman, "in fact I never met her before." "Then why are you so sad?" asks Leah. "Who was she?" "My husband's first wife," replies the woman.

Adam's Side

At the King David Hebrew School, the children were learning about how God created everything, including people. One little boy was especially interested in the part where God created Eve out of Adam's side. Later that week, his mother saw him lying on the sofa, looking ill. "What's the matter?" she asked. "I have a pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."
