FROM THE PRESIDENT’S PEN:
Our Worthy Brother President, Worthy Brother Bennie Steingold, and his wife, Freda, are at present enjoying a well-earned rest, while visiting with their Children and Grand-children in Toronto and New York. We wish them a pleasant and safe flight on their return in due course.
In lieu of a Presidential Message this month, Worthy Brother Claude Lavenski ( Vice – President ) has sent me the following little story, which should generate a few smiles !
Editor.
A
Jewish couple is sitting together on an airplane flying to the Far East.
Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces,
" Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I
have some very bad news. Our engines have ceased functioning and this plane
will be going down momentarily. Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us
that should be able to accommodate our landing. However, the odds are that we
will never be rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of our
lives. "
A few minutes later the plane lands safely on
the island.
Morris
turns to his wife and asks,
"Esther,
did we pay our Pledge to the Yeshiva yet?" "No, Morris," she
responds.
Morris
smiles and then asks,
"Esther,
did we pay our UJA Pledge?" "Oy, no! I haven't sent the check,"
she says.
Now
Morris laughs out loud:
One
last thing, Esther. “Did you remember to send our Pledge to the H.O.D Fund for
those living under the Bread Line?, " he asks? " Oy, Morris, I
haven't sent that one, either." says Esther.
Now,
Morris is practically choking with laughter. Esther asks Morris, " So, nu?
What are you smiling and laughing about?"
Morris
answers confidently, "They'll find us."
