researchers have determined that it is unsafe to partake of charoses and

THE FIFTH PASSOVER
QUESTION |
Tateh,
ikh vill dir fregen die funfte kashe:
In the Chumash we are told that we have only three fathers: Avraham,
Yitzchak and Ya'akov. Why, then, in the Hagaddah, does it keep talking about
our forefathers?

HOW THE JEWS REALLY GOT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS |
God
asked the Egyptians if they would like a commandment.
"What's a commandment?"
they asked.
"Well, it's like, Thou
shalt not commit adultery."
The Egyptians conferred
among themselves, and finally sent one of their priests to reply.
"Thanks for asking, God, but that would ruin our
weekends."
So God went to the Assyrians and asked if they would like a commandment.
They also queried, "What's
a commandment?"
"Well, it's like, Thou
shalt not steal."
Perplexed, they too
conferred, and finally sent their Minister of Economics to reply.
"We thank you for the offer, God, but that
would destabilize our economy."
So finally God went to the Jews and asked if they would like a commandment.
"How much does it
cost?" they shot
back.
"It's free," said God.
"Great! We'll take
ten!"
