Jewish And Yiddish Humor

Mazal Tov. (mah-zahl tohv; literally: A good sign.) This phrase is used to mean congratulations. Guests shout it at Jewish weddings when the groom stomps on a glass, breaking it in memory of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and as a reminder that the world is still broken today. You can also say Mazal Tov to someone on other happy occasions - a birthday, a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, a new job, or an engagement. Here's something funny: In Israel, whenever someone accidentally breaks a glass or a dish in a restaurant, the entire restaurant shouts out “Mazal Tov!” in unison.

A young Jew and an old Jew are riding on a bus in Jerusalem. The young Jew asks, "Excuse me, sir, what time is it?" The old Jew doesn't answer. "Excuse me, sir," the young Jew asks again, "what time is it?" The old Jew still doesn't answer. "Sir, forgive me for interrupting you all the time, but I really want to know what time it is. Why won't you answer me?" The old Jew says, "Son, the next stop is the last on this route. I don't know you, so you must be a stranger. If I answer you now, according to Jewish tradition, I must invite you to my home. You're handsome and I have a beautiful daughter. You will both fall in love and you'll want to get married. And tell me, why would I want a son-in-law who can't even afford a watch?"

The Dreidel Song

I have a little dreidel
I made it out of clay;
And when it’s dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play.

-Traditional song, arranged by Samuel S. Grossman and Samuel E. Goldfarb, in “The Hanukkah Anthology” (1976), edited by Philip Goodman
