Yiddish joke for Shvues aka Shavuot: Why do rich people get away with sins & poor people don't? It goes back to Mt Sinai. When Moses broke the tablets the rich & bossy people grabbed all the big pieces "steal" "murder" "philander" "covet". The shlimazels got stuck with "don't."

Hi Playmobil, Who is we? I am a Maple Leafs fan from Hamilton, Ontario. You are a German toy company with American headquarters in New Jersey. I am not happy about the Florida Panthers winning the Stanley Cup. Why are you?

Yiddish joke: A heretic lay on his deathbed and said to his son, “Your brother converted, so he obviously won’t say Kaddish for me. Your sister has no obligation to say it. You’re the only one who can say Kaddish for me. I beg you, when I’m gone—please don’t say Kaddish for me.”

What's the best single volume history of the Holocaust to assign as supplementary reading for an undergraduate course? Suggestions much appreciated.

The main reason I came to Wolsztyn is that it has one of the last scheduled passenger train services in Europe still operated by a steam locomotive. This is not a tourist train or heritage line, it's a regional service just like the one earlier today, with the same fares!

This copy of Bet Meir from 1836, Lviv, is beautifully unique! If you look closely you will see hand recreation of the missing pages. YChL call number 12539, today in the holdings of the Jewish Historical Institute.
