Sending Sons To Israel

A Jewish businessman in Chicago sent his son to Israel for a year to absorb the culture and upon his return, he said, "Papa, I had a great time in Israel, and by the way, I converted to Christianity."

"Oy Vey," said the father, "What have I done?" So he took his problem to his best friend. 

"Ike," he said, "I sent my son to Israel, and he came home a Christian. What can I do?"

"Funny you should ask," said Ike. "I, too, sent my son to Israel, and he also came home a Christian. Perhaps we should go see the Rabbi."

"Funny you should ask," said the Rabbi. "I too sent my son to Israel, and he also came home a Christian. What is happening to our young people?" 

Then they prayed, telling God about their sons, and asking Him what to do when suddenly, a voice came booming from the Heavens!

"Funny you should ask," said the voice. "I, too, sent my Son to Israel... "

Israeli Sense Of Humor At The United Nations

An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly which  made the world community smile.  A representative from Israel began: "Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses.  When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a good opportunity to have a bath!  

Moses removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water.  When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished.  A Palestinian had stolen them."

The Palestinian representative jumped up furiously and shouted, "What are you talking about?  The Palestinians weren't there then!"

The Israeli representative smiled and said, "And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech."
