Getting the Rabbi to Say Kaddish for His Dog

An old man had a dog - his only companion for his remaining years. Sadly, the dog died. He was so attached to the dog, that he went to see his Rabbi and asked if he would arrange to say Kaddish for the dog.

The rabbi said, "No - Kaddish is only for humans, not for animals" "However, said the rabbi, there's a new reform congregation down the street a block or two. You go there and ask if they'll say kaddish for the dog".

The old man thanked him, and said; "Do you suppose they'll also accept my $75,000 donation in memory of my dog?"

"Hold It!, shouted the rabbi, come back. You didn't tell me that your dog was Jewish?!"

Grandpa Likes the Catholic Nursing Home

A Jewish family is considering putting their grandfather in a nursing home. All the Jewish facilities are completely full so they have to put him in a Catholic home. After a few weeks in the Catholic facility they come to visit grandpa.

"How do you like it here?" asks the grandson.

"It's wonderful. Everyone here is so courteous and respectful," says grandpa.

"We're so happy for you. We were worried that this was the wrong place for you."

"Let me tell you about how wonderfully they treat the residents here," grandpa says with a big smile.

"There's a musician here -- he's 85 years old. He hasn't played the violin in 20 years, and everyone still calls him 'Maestro'!"

"And there's a physician here -- 90 years old. He hasn't been practicing medicine for 25 years and everyone still call him 'Doctor'!"

"And me, I haven't had sex for 30 years and they still call me 'the Fucking Jew'."

Finding an Apartment With Seven Kids

Ira and Esther Goldberg had a large family of seven healthy children.  They moved to America from Europe and were having a difficult time finding an apartment to live in.

Many apartments were large enough, but the landlords objected to such a large family.  After several days of unsuccessful searching, Ira asked Esther to take the four younger children to visit the cemetery, while he took the older three to find an apartment.

After they had looked most of the morning, they found a place that was just right.

The landlord asked the usual question:  "How many children do you have?"

Ira answered with a deep sigh, "Seven...but four are with their dear mother in the cemetery."

He got the apartment!

Approved Sexual Positions

A couple preparing for a religious conversion meets with the orthodox rabbi for their final session. The rabbi asks if they have any final questions.

The man asks, "Is it true that men and women don't dance together?"
"Yes," says the rabbi, "for modesty reasons, men and women dance separately."

"So I can't dance with my own wife?"
"No."

"Well, okay," says the man, "but what about sex?"
"Fine," says the rabbi. "A mitzvah within the marriage!"

"What about different positions?" the man asks.
"No problem," says the rabbi.

"Woman on top?" the man asks.
"Why not?" replies the rabbi.

"How about doggie-style?"
"Of course!"

"Well, what about standing up?"
"NO!" says the rabbi, "It could lead to dancing!"

Four Rabbis Having an Argument

So it seems that these four rabbis had a series of theological arguments, and three were always in accord against the fourth. One day, the odd rabbi out, after the usual "3 to 1, majority rules" statement that signified that he had lost again, decided to appeal to a higher authority.

"Oh, God!" he cried. "I know in my heart that I am right and they are wrong! Please give me a sign to prove it to them!"

It was a beautiful, sunny day. As soon as the rabbi finished his prayer, a storm cloud moved across the sky above the four. It rumbled once and dissolved. "A sign from God! See, I'm right, I knew it!" But the other three disagreed, pointing out that storm clouds form on hot days.

So the rabbi prayed again: "Oh, God, I need a bigger sign to show that I am right and they are wrong. So please, God, a bigger sign!"  This time four storm clouds appeared, rushed toward each other to form one big cloud, and a bolt of lightning slammed into a tree on a nearby hill.

"I told you I was right!" cried the rabbi, but his friends insisted that nothing had happened that could not be explained by natural causes. The rabbi was getting ready to ask for a "very big" sign, but just as he invoked, "Oh God...," the sky turned pitch black, the earth shook, and a deep, booming voice intoned, "HEEEEEEEE'SRIIIIIIIGHT!"

The rabbi put his hands on his hips, turned to the other three and said, "Well?"

"Well, what?" shrugged the other rabbis, "now it's 3 to 2."

Holy Mackerel, Dig the Ass on that Chick!

A team of archeologists is excavating in Israel when they find a cave with the symbols of a woman, a donkey, a shovel, a fish, and a Star of David on the wall.

The head archeologist points to the first drawing. "This indicates that these people were family oriented and held women in high esteem." he says. "The donkey shows they were smart enough to use animals to till the soil. The shovel means they were able to forge tools. Even further proof of high intelligence is the fish: If famine hit the earth, they would take to the sea for food. The last symbol is the Star of David, telling us they were Hebrews."

The second archeologist shakes his head. "Sorry, Doc. You've got it wrong. Hebrew is read from right to left," he explains. "It really says, 'Holy Mackerel, Dig the Ass on that Chick!'"

Roses are reddish, Violets are bluish When the Messiah really comes You'll wish you were Jewish.

Golda and Marty Are Having an Affair

Golda and Marty were having an affair.  One day Saul came home early.  Golda heard Saul's car pull into the driveway and had Marty hide in the shower.
 
So Saul goes to the bedroom to change into some old clothes and to take off the good gold.
 
He goes into the bathroom and sees the shower curtain shut.  This isn't normal, so he opens it.
 
Oy Vey!! There, naked in the shower, is his best friend Marty.
 
"Marty!  Vat the hell are you doing naked in my shower?" Saul asked.
 
Marty looked at him and in as serious a tone as he could come up with said, "Voting?"


Trying to Get a Haircut in Jerusalem

A tourist was visiting Jerusalem, and spotted a striped barbers pole outside a shop. He thought to himself, "I could do with a bit of a trim!"

He entered the shop, and said to the big Jew within, "Would you be kind enough just to take a little off the back and sides?"

The Jew replied, "I am sorry, I am not a barber!"

The tourist said, "But you have a barbers pole out front?"

The Jew said, "You do not understand.  My job is to perform a small operation on all newborn Jewish boys!"

The tourist insisted, "But you have a barbers pole out in front!"

The Jew replied, "And what would you be having me put out there?  You want I should be arrested?"

Captain Cohen Doesn't Make Mistakes

In the mid 60's, a US Navy cruiser pulled into port in Mississippi for a week's shore leave. The first evening, the Captain was more than a little surprised to receive the following letter from the wife of a wealthy plantation owner:

"Dear Captain,

Thursday will be my daughter Melinda's coming of age party. I would like you to send four well-mannered, handsome, unmarried officers. They should arrive at 8 p.m. prepared for an evening of polite southern conversation and dance with lovely young ladies. One last point: No Jews - We don't like Jews."

Sure enough, at 8:00 PM on Thursday, the lady heard a rap at the door which she opened to find, in dress uniform, four exquisitely mannered, smiling BLACK officers. Her jaw hit the floor, but pulling herself together she stammered, "there must be some mistake!"

"Madam," said the first officer, "Captain Cohen doesn't make mistakes!"

So For Ninety Cents, You're Going to Make Trouble?

A Jewish girl came home one day and said, "Ma, I got married." Her mother said, "Oy, that's great."

The girl said, "But Ma, he's an Arab."  Her mother said, "Oy, that's not so great."

The girl said, "But Ma, he's an Arab sheik.  He's wealthy beyond your wildest dreams. You and Daddy are going to live in the lap of luxury for the rest of your lives."

Six months later, the Jewish girl walked into the house and said, "Ma, I love my Arab sheik, but my God, all he wants to do is screw me in my ass.  Day and night, all he'll do is bang me in the ass.  When I got married, my asshole was like a dime.  Now it's like a silver dollar."

Her mother said, "So for ninety cents, you're going to make trouble?"


Two Beggars

Two beggars are sitting on a park bench in Ireland. One is holding a cross and one a Star of David. Both are holding hats to collect contributions. People walk by, lift their noses at the man with the Star of David and drop money in the hat held by the man with the cross. Soon the hat of the man with the cross is filled and the hat of the man with the Star of David is empty.

A priest watches and then approaches the men. He turns to the man with the Star of David and says, "Young man, don't you realize that this is a Catholic country?  You'll never get any contributions in this country holding a Star of David."

The man with the Star of David turns to the man with the cross and says, "Moishe, can you imagine, this guy is trying to tell us how to run our business?"

The IRS Audits A Synagogue

A new IRS auditor, eager to make a name for himself, decided to review the tax returns of the local synagogue.  He proceeded to interrogate the Rabbi, asking him what the synagogue did with the wax drippings from the Shabbat, Havdallah and Chanukah candles.

The Rabbi, pleased to show the auditor that nothing went to waste, responded that the used wax is collected and sent to a candle factory and they send the temple new candles.

"What about the crumbs from the matzah you eat at Passover?" asked the IRS auditor.

"Simple," the Rabbi responded. "We collect all the crumbs, send them to the matzah bakery and they send us matzah meal."

"All right," said the auditor, refusing to give up. "I know that you're a moyel as well as a Rabbi.  What do you do with the leftovers from the circumcisions?"

"Easy," said the Rabbi. "We send them to Washington, DC and they send us little pricks like you."

God is Offering Commandments

God came down and first he went to the Germans and said, "I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better."

And the Germans asked, "what are Commandments?"

And the Lord said, "Rules for living."

"Can you give us an example?"

"Thou shalt not kill."

"Not kill? We're not interested."

So He went to the Italians and said, "I have Commandments." And the Italians wanted an example, and the Lord said, "Thou shalt not steal."

"Not steal? We're not interested."

He went to the French and said, "I have Commandments."

The French wanted an example and the Lord said, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife."

"Not covet my neighbor's wife? We're not interested."

He went to the Jews and said, "I have Commandments."

"Commandments? How much are they?"

"They're free."

"Good then, we'll take 10!"

On Me, You Shouldn't Depend

A movie producer advertised for a Texan, 6 feet tall, weighing 200 lbs. One morning, about 3 o'clock, he got a phone call in answer to the ad from a fellow who spoke with a New York Jewish accent.

The producer said, "You don't sound like a Texan."

The fellow said, "That's right, I'm not, I'm from New York."

The producer said, "Are you 6 feet tall and do you weigh 200 lbs?"

The fellow said, "No, I'm five feet-five and weigh 110 lbs."

The producer was furious as he yelled, Then what the hell are you calling me for at 3 in the morning?"

And the Jewish fellow said, "I just called to tell you, on me you shouldn't depend."

"Yes," replied the Chinese man, "Our culture is over 4,000 years old. But, you Jews are a very wise people, too."

The Jewish man replied, "Yes, our culture is over 5,000 years old."

The Chinese man was incredulous, "That's impossible," he replied. "Where did your people eat for a thousand years?"

The First Female Jewish President is Elected       

The year is 2012 and the United States of America has just elected the first woman, as well as the first Jewish President, a Susan Vineberg.

So the President-elect calls up her mother;  "So Ma, I assume you will be coming to my inauguration?"

"I don't think so. It's a ten hour drive, and your father isn't as young as he used to be, and my gout is acting up again."

"Don't worry Ma, I'll send Air Force One to pick you up and take you home.  And a limousine will pick you up at your door."
 
"I don't know.  Everybody will be so fancy, I don't know what on Earth I would wear."

"Oh Ma," replies Susan, "don't worry about it. I'll make sure you have a wonderful gown by Christian Dior."

"Honey," Mom complains, "you know I can't eat those rich foods you and your friends like to eat."

The President-to-be responds, "Don't worry Ma!  The entire affair is going to be handled by the best caterer in New York, kosher all the way.  Ma, I want you to come."

So Mom agrees and on January 20, 2013, Susan Vineberg is being sworn in as President of the United States of America.  In the front row sits the new President's mother, who leans over to a Senator sitting next to her; "You see that woman over there with her hand on the Bible, becoming President of the United States?"

The Senator whispers back,  "Yes, I do."

"Her brother's a doctor!"

The Price of Pretzels Has Gone Up

A little old Jewish lady sold pretzels on a street corner for twenty-five cents each. Every day a young lawyer would leave his office building at lunch time, and as he passed her pretzel stand, he would leave her a quarter but never take a pretzel.

This went on for more than five years. The two of them never spoke. One day, as the lawyer passed the old lady's stand and left his quarter as usual, the pretzel woman spoke to him.

"Sir, I appreciate your business. You are a good customer, but I have to tell you that the pretzel price has gone up to thirty-five cents."

A Jewish father, Moishe, is speaking with his eldest son, Yitzak....

Father, I am going to marry!

Moishe begins to dance with joy and sing Hava Nagila. Tell me, is she a good Jewish girl? What is her name?

O'Brien, replies the son. She's Catholic

Oy! says the father. But are you happy?

I'm happy, says the son.. OK, as long as you're happy.... my blessings to you both, replies Moishe.

But the father is still counting on his remaining sons, Schlemiel and Chutzpah.

Schlemiel calls on his father the next evening, Father, I, too, will be married soon!

Again Moishe breaks out in a dance and sings God's praises. What is her name, he asks.

Kazalopopodopolous, says the son. She's Greek Orthodox.

Oy, says Moishe. But are you happy? I'm happy, father... OK.Then you, too, have my blessing, Moishe says.
Dejected, Moishe goes to the temple to pray. Please, God, let my remaining son, Chutzpah, marry a nice Jewish girl... to raise nice Jewish children in your eyes ... PLEASE!

Chutzpah comes to his father excitedly and exclaims, Father! I am to wed in the spring!

Her NAME? WHAT IS HER NAME? his father immediately demands.

Goldberg! says Chutzpah. Moishe is beside himself with joy! Praise God! Praise the Prophets! Turning to Chutzpah, he asks, Is she Doctor Goldberg's daughter Shelley, from Newark?

No... says Chutzpah...

Hmmm, says Moishe... Must be Attorney Goldberg's daughter Rachel from Hollywood?

Ah...no, father says Chutzpah...

Well, then, what is her first name, my youngest, truest, most beautiful son?

President Bush Goes to a Synagogue

President Bush was very curious about how the Jewish people knew everything before he did. So he called the CIA and FBI and asked them to figure it out.  A week later they came back and said, "Mr. President, the Jews have something called Shabbat, and they meet each other at the synagogue, and there is a code.

They sit, they pray, and there is a word that is the key to this secret: "Nu?" When one says to other, "Nu?", the other tells him everything... every bit of news."

This Bush wanted to see for himself. The secret service dressed him like a Hassid, and taught him to read from the right to the left of the Siddur (prayer book ).

Bush arrived at a synagogue on Shabbat, and sat beside another religious man. He waited for a moment, and said, "Nu?"

The man answered... "Shh, Bush is coming!"

Finally Bringing His Wife to Orgasm

An older Jewish gentleman marries a younger lady and they are deeply in love. However, no matter what the husband does sexually, the woman never achieves orgasm. His wife demands sexual pleasure, so they decide to ask the rabbi for advice. The rabbi listens to their story and makes the following suggestion.

"Hire a strapping young man and while the two of you are making love, have him wave a towel over you as though he is fanning you both. Make sure he is totally naked and she can see his manhood as he fans you both with the towel. That will help the wife fantasize and should bring on a full blown orgasm."

They go home and follow the rabbi's advice. They hire a handsome young man and he strips off and enthusiastically waves a towel over them both as they make love. But it doesn't help and still the wife is unsatisfied and frustrated. Perplexed, they go back to the rabbi.

"Okay", says the rabbi, "let's try it reversed. Have the young man make love to your wife and you wave the towel over them."

Once again, they follow the rabbi's advice. The young man gets into bed with the wife and the husband waves the towel. The hired hand really works with great enthusiasm, and the wife
soon has an enormous, room-shaking, screaming, creaming orgasm.

Smiling, the husband drops the towel, taps the young man on the shoulder and says to him, triumphantly: "THAT'S how you wave a towel!"

A Priest, A Minister and a Rabbi on Money

A priest, minister and a rabbi are discussing how they divide the money that comes into the church.

The priest explains that he takes the money into the church basement and draws a circle on the floor. He then throws the money in the air and what falls inside the circle is God's and the rest is his.

The minister says he takes the money into the basement of the church and draws a line on the floor. He throws the money in the air and what falls on one side of the line is God's and the rest is his.

The rabbi does something remarkably similar. He takes the money into the basement of the temple. He throws is up in the air and he figures God will take what he wants while it's up there!

A Rabbi's Hat is Blown Away

A Rabbi is walking slowly down the street when a gust of wind blows his hat from his head. The hat is being blown down the street, but he is an old man and can't walk fast enough to catch the hat. Across the street a Gentile sees what has happened and rushes over to grab the hat and then returns it to the Rabbi.

"I don't think I would have been able to catch my hat," said the Rabbi. "Thank you very much." The Rabbi then places his hand on the man's shoulder and says, "May God bless you."

The young man thinks to himself, "I've been blessed by the Rabbi, this must be my lucky day!" So he goes to the Racetrack and in the first race he sees there is a horse named Stetson at 20 to 1. He bets $50 and sure enough the horse comes in first.

In the second race he sees a horse named Fedora at 30 to 1, so he bets it all and this horse comes in first also. Finally at the end of the day he returns home to his wife. When she asks him where he's been, he explains how he caught the Rabbi's hat and was blessed by him and then went to the track and started winning on horses that had a hat in their names.

"So where's the money?" she asks.

"I lost it all in the ninth race. I bet on a horse named Chateau and it lost."

"You fool, Chateau is a house, Chapeau is a hat!"

"It doesn't matter," he said, "the winner was some Japanese horse named Yarmulka."

Three Women Bragging About Their Husbands

Mrs. Cohen, Mrs. Levy, and Mrs. Lefkovitz are discussing their sons. Mrs. Cohen says, "Now my Sheldon, what a man! A world famous lawyer, he is, with big shot clients, a mansion in Beverly Hills, a winter home in Hawaii. He has a beautiful wife, and everything a man could want in the world."

Mrs. Levy says, "That's nice. Let me tell you about my son Jonathan. He is a doctor, a world-famous researcher. He travels across the world to conferences, talks, and lectures. He was nominated for a Nobel prize in Medicine. What a man!"

Mrs. Lefkovitz says, "My Hershel, he's an engineer. Now, he makes maybe $35,000 a year, and he's not famous. But his penis is so long, you can line up ten pigeons in a row on it."

The ladies sip their tea for a while. Then, Mrs. Cohen says, "Actually, I got a confession to make. Sheldon's an up-and-coming lawyer in Los Angeles, but he doesn't have a mansion or a summer home. He's a bright young man with a good future."

Mrs. Levy says: "Well, I got a confession too. Jonathan is a good doctor, and he got his share of scholarships, but a Nobel prizewinner, he isn't." They all look expectantly at Mrs. Lefkovitz.

"Well, all right, I'll tell the truth too. The last bird has to stand on one leg."

Morris realized he needed to purchase a hearing aid, but he felt unwilling to spend much money. "How much do they cost?" he asked the salesperson.

"That depends," he said. "They run from $2.00 to $2,000."

"Let's see the $2.00 model," said Morris the miser.

The salesperson put the device around Morris' neck. "You just stick this button in your ear and run this little string down to your pocket," he instructed.

"How does it work?" , asked Morris.

"For $2.00 it doesn't work," the salesperson replied. "But when people see it on you, they'll talk louder."

A Gold Statue of Adolf Hitler

Two Hasidic Jews were walking down the street one day. They ran into Abe, an old friend. When they ask how he was doing he said, "I'm doing great. I just hit the lottery for ten million dollars!."

Naturally aroused, they ask him what he did with the money. He replied, "I bought the biggest piece of property money could buy right in the heart of Berlin, Germany. On that property, I built a mansion and on my front lawn I put a solid gold life size statue of Adolf Hitler!"

His friends are completely shocked and couldn't believe what he had done. They said, "Adolf Hitler, are you crazy?"

With that, he calmly pointed at his inner forearm and says, "Adolf vasn't such a bad guy... he gave me the vinning numbers!

Rabbi Having Too Many Kids

There was a Rabbi whose wife was expecting a baby. The Rabbi went to the congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that when the Rabbi's family expanded, so would his paycheck.

After five or six children, this started to get expensive. The congregation decided to hold a meeting again to discuss the Rabbi's pay situation. You can imagine there was much yelling and bickering.

Finally, the Rabbi got up and spoke to the crowd -"Having children is an act of God!"

In the back of the room, a little old man with a full beard stood up and in his frail voice said... "Point of information - snow and rain are also 'acts of God', but when we get too much we wear rubbers!"

Rabinowitz Has Lunch With Hitler

Rabinowitz, hiding with his wife from the Nazis in a secluded Berlin attic, decided to get a breath of fresh air.

While out walking he came face to face with Adolph Hitler. The German leader pulled out a gun and pointed to a pile of horse manure in the street.

"All right, Jew!" he shouted, "eat that or I'll kill you!"

Trembling, Rabinowitz did as he was ordered.

Hitler began laughing so hard he dropped the weapon.

Rabinowitz snatched it up and said, "Now, you eat the manure or I'll shoot!" The Fuhrer got down on his hands and knees and began eating.

While he was occupied, Rabinowitz sneaked away, ran through an alley, climbed over a fence, and dashed up the stairs to the attic. He slammed the door shut, bolted and locked it securely. "Bessie! Bessie!" he shouted to his wife. "Guess who I had lunch with today!"

Diamonds

A man is driving down a highway in Arizona when a beautiful woman appears out of nowhere right in front of him...completely nude. And with green skin.

Stunned, he starts to speak to her. "Excuse me, but you just popped out of thin air. How did you do that?"

"Oh," says the woman, "I'm from Andromeda, in what you call outer space."

"Andromeda?" says the man, "Wow! Do all the women on Andromeda have green skin like yours?"

"Yes," replies the woman, "everyone is green on Andromeda"

The man continues to stare and speak. "Excuse me for asking, but I can't help but noticing that you have 12 toes on each foot. Here on Earth we all have five toes on each foot. Do all Andromedans have 12 toes on each foot?

"Yes, they do," replies the woman.

"And forgive me for saying this, but it's hard not to notice," the man continues, "but you have three breasts. Do all Andromedan women have three breasts?

"Yes," replies the woman, "Actually, everyone on Andromeda has three breasts."

"Please, may I ask you one more question?"

The woman nods.

"I also can't help noticing that on each of your hands you have seven fingers and on each finger is a very large diamond. Here on Earth diamonds are very rare and valuable. Do all Andromedan women have large diamonds on their fingers?"

"Well," the woman answers, "not the Shiksas."
