Avrahom’s son Howard was at college and Avrahom was worried that Howard might quickly forget that he was Jewish. As Yom Kippur was coming, Avrahom sent Howard the following text message:

HI HOWARD. YOM KIPPUR STARTS ON TUESDAY.

Howard sent the following reply:

THANKS FOR THE TIP. PUT ME DOWN FOR $70 ON IT TO WIN.

Just a dream

One day, just as Rebecca was walking past her favorite upscale clothing store, she saw them putting a new dress in the front window. It stopped her in her tracks — it was a pale green Dior evening dress, and she was totally entranced by this brilliant creation. She was convinced that it was beshert — it was meant for her. But it was priced at $3,500 and she had to think of a good way to persuade her husband to buy it for her. Then she had an idea. She couldn’t wait to get home.

“Darling?”

“Yes, what is it Rebecca?”

“Last night I had a lovely dream, darling” she said.

“So what kind of a dream was it, Rebecca?” he asked.

“I dreamed that we passed by my favorite store, and in the window was this gorgeous Dior dress at only $3,500. And do you know what you did?”

“Nu, so what did I do?” he asked.

“You went into the shop and bought it for me, darling.”

“Did I really?” her husband said. “That really was a wonderful dream. Please God, in all your future dreams, you should wear it in good health.”
