YOU ASKED FOR IT

Rahel, of Elms in the Yard, requests equal time for Hebrew puns.

Puns?

Limericks, sure. But Hebrew puns?

Well, perhaps we can come up with something.

Q: How do you catch a jewfish?

A: You use Beit Yisrael.

***************

Q: Why must the greatness of the Lord be spoken of in a very high-pitched voice?

A: Because, according to the words of the Ashrei (Psalm 145), we learn that v’ezuz norotekha yomeiru, u-g’dulat’kha a-soprano.

Had enough? Good.
