Little Sammy was studying Torah for his Bar Mitzvah and was asked what he
had learned in Hebrew school one day. “Well, mommy, the rabbi told us how
God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the
Israelites out of Egypt. When they got to the Red Sea, he had his
engineers build a pontoon bridge and all the Jews walked across safely.
Then the Egyptians followed and Moses used his walkie-talkie to radio
headquarters for air cover. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge, drown
the Egyptians, and the Israelites were saved.” “Now, Sammy, is that really
what the rabbi taught you?” his mother asked. “Well, no, mommy, but if I
told it the way the rabbi did, you’d never believe it!”

At their high school reunion Sarah and Esther meet up for the first time in fifty years.

Sarah begins to tell Esther about her children: “My son is a doctor and he’s got four kids. My daughter is married to a lawyer and they have three great kids. So tell me Esther, how about your kids?”

Esther replies, “Unfortunately, Morty and I don’t have any children and so we have no grandchildren either.”

Sarah says, “No children…. and no grandchildren! So tell me, Esther, what do you do for aggravation?”

President Bush, newly elected, calls in the head of the CIA and
asks, “How come the Jews know everything before WE do?”

The CIA chief says, “It’s because the Jews have this expression,
‘Vus Tutzuch? (What’s doing?)’ They just ask each other and they
know everything! “

George Bush says that he has to see it to believe it, and he
wants to personally go undercover.

He gets dressed up (the hat, beard, etc…) as an orthodox Jew
and is secretly flown under radar in an unmarked plane to New
York, where he is picked up in an unmarked car and dropped off
in Brooklyn’s most Jewish neighborhood.

Soon this little old Jewish man comes shuffling along and George
whispers to him, “Vus Tutzuch?”

The old guy whispers back, “Did you hear President Bush is in
Brooklyn ?”

The teacher said, “I’ll give $20 to the child who can tell me
who was the most famous man who ever lived.”

An Irish boy put his hand up and said, “It was St. Patrick.” The
teacher said, “Sorry Sean, that’s not correct.”

Then a French boy put his hand up and said, “It was Napoleon.”
The teacher replied, “I’m sorry, Pierre, that’s not right
either.”

Finally, a Jewish boy raised his hand and said, “It was Jesus
Christ.” The teacher said, “That’s absolutely right, Daniel,
come up here and I’ll give you the $20.”

As the teacher was giving Daniel his money, she said, “You know
Daniel, you being Jewish, I was very surprised you said Jesus
Christ.” Daniel replied, “Yeah. In my heart I knew it was Moses,
but business is business.”

During the first day of Hanukkah, two elderly Jewish men were sitting in a wonderful deli frequented almost exclusively by Jews in New York City. They were talking amongst themselves in Yiddish – the colorful language of Jews who came over from Eastern Europe

A Chinese waiter, only one year in New York, came up and in fluent impeccable Yiddish asked them if everything was okay and if they were enjoying the holiday.

The Jewish men were dumbfounded. �Where did he ever learn such perfect Yiddish?� they both thought. After they paid the bill they asked the restaurant manager, an old friend of theirs, �Where did our waiter learn such fabulous Yiddish?�

The manager looked around and leaned in so no one else will hear and said… �Shhhh. He thinks we’re teaching him English.�

An older Jewish gentleman marries a younger lady and they are
very much in love. However, no matter what the husband does
sexually, the woman never achieves orgasm. Since a Jewish wife
is entitled to sexual pleasure, they decide to ask the rabbi.
The rabbi listens to their story, strokes his beard, and makes
the following suggestion.. “Hire a strapping young man. While
the two of you are making love, have the young man wave a towel
over you. That will help the wife fantasize and should bring on
an orgasm.” They go home and follow the rabbi’s advice. They
hire a handsome young man and he waves a towel over them as they
make love. It doesn’t help and she is still unsatisfied.

Perplexed, they go back to the rabbi. “Okay”, says the rabbi to
the husband, “let’s try it reversed. Have the young man make
loveto 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 young man gets to
work with great enthusiasm and the wife soon has an enormous,
room-shaking, screaming orgasm. The husband smiles, looks at the
young man and says to him triumphantly…”You see, you schmuck,
THAT’S the way you wave a towel!”
