“Jewish Jokes

Here are some examples of Jewish humor from Rabbi Steven Carr Reuben at Kehillath Israel Synagogue of Pacific Palisades:

1. If it tastes good, it’s probably not kosher.
(“Keeping kosher” means eating foods according to Jewish law. Among kosher requirements are that milk should not be eaten with meat and that shellfish and pork should never be eaten.)

2. It’s always a bad hair day if you’re bald.

3. The High Holidays have absolutely nothing to do with marijuana.
(The High Holidays are the most sacred days in the Jewish calendar, at the time of the Jewish New Year in September.)

4. Never take a front-row seat at a bris.
(A bris is a Jewish circumcision.)

5. If your name was Lipschitz, you’d change it, too.

6. Never leave a restaurant empty-handed.

7. Spring ahead, fall back, winter in Miami Beach.

8. A bad matzoh ball makes a good paperweight.
(Matzoh is a traditional Jewish cracker that is made without leavening.)”
