Passover: Laugh Piece Cleaning
Posted by Essay Help on April 28, 2009Passover, or Pesach as it is called in Hebrew, is the 8 day festival where the Jews celebrate their liberation from Egypt more than a 1000 years ago. One of the most important features of this freedom festival is that the Jews cannot eat anything that is leavened. They eat matzah.
They must also make careful that no bread crumbs exist in or around the house: the cupboards, the drawers, the kitchen, behind the bed, low the refrigerator and anywhere else where crumbs might have fallen finished. To ensure that the house is clean of leavened food materials, the Jews have to clean the entire house from apical to bottom as good as possible. And they do. During the week before Passover, house cleaning is what goes on in most Jewish houses. To answer this demand and to ease the tension, here is a joke on this case called Impossible Timing, which highlights this cleaning tension.
Impossible Timing:
Samuel, an observant Jew, who was also a financial ace, left Brooklyn to accept the position of V.p. in a famous broker firm in Utah, which is advantageously known for being a Mormon country.
When they learned this, the company’s directorate applied large pressure on the company’s president. “We are religious people here,” they said. “It can’t be that a Jew will handle all our money.”
The president proved to ward them off, but when he couldn’t manage it anymore, he called Samuel to his office and explained the situation to him. Samuel was offered the choice of either converting or leaving the attractive job which also had a cardinal figure salary quote attached thereto.
Samuel had no choice but to convert, and he went home and told his woman that from Sunday, they will start attending the Church services.
A few months went by and his woman kept distressful Samuel about the conversion. “This is also difficult for me. I miss the Sabbath: lighting candles and blessing the alcohol. I miss the holidays. Money is not everything, Samuel dear.”
And with each time that his woman complained, Samuel’s conscience increased until he could not accept it anymore and he went to meet the company’s President.
“Look, I can’t go on like this,” Samuel said. “I am full of regret. Money is not everything. I can’t kip and neither can my woman. This is also heavy a burden for me to carry. I was born a Jew and I deprivation to die a Jew. And if you deprivation me to quit, I will without making any ail.”
The President looked at him in admiration, “Listen, Samuel, I had no idea that this was so difficult for you. I cerebration it was a trivial matter. But you don’t have to leave. Everything will be the same as before: you can act here with us without converting.
Samuel returned home happy and grinning from ear to ear. He ran to his woman, who was observance Ricky Lake, “You won’t believe it! It’s a miracle. We are going back to being Jews, and I allay retain my job.”
His woman looked at him with eyes that gaiter fire, and said,” Are you mad?”
Samuel was aghast. “But I cerebration that this is what you craved!” He cut in. “All this piece you have been crying and complaining. Don’t you care to go back to becoming a Jew”"
His woman looked at him with ever more fury, “Of course I deprivation to. Of course I deprivation to,” she said. “But now? Only a week before Passover?”
