ابو خليل الوردة (تعبير عراقي)
لي صديقة هنديه تعشق التدين الهندوسي التقليدي او الشعبي و الظاهر ان التشاؤم الذي نجده في الكتب غير موجود او غير مهم هناك.هي نصحتني بزياره الهند و رؤيه كيفيه عيش الناس لهذه الديانه و كيف انها تمد الانسان بكل حاجاته الروحيه و المثولوجيه و العقليه.هل قرأت كتاب كارين ارمسترونج ’’التحول الكبير’’The Great Transformation؟
اعتقد انه اجمل كتاب كتبته لحد الان و هو دعوة مفتوحه للمحبه و فيه الكثير عن الهند.
و هذه نكات يهودية لكما

The Synagogue got really fed up with its Rabbi. The Executive Committee met and one-too-reluctantly, concluded that they'd have to let him go. Trouble was - who'd want to take him - especially if it got out that he'd been fired?
So the Executive Committee decided to give him a glowing letter of recommendation. It compared the Rabbi to Shakespeare, Moses and even God Himself. The recommendation was so warm that within six weeks the Rabbi succeeded in securing himself a pulpit in a major upwardly-mobile Synagogue 500 miles away, at twice his original salary and with three junior Rabbis working under him.
Needless to say, in a couple of months the Rabbi's new employers began to observe some of his imperfections. The President of the Rabbi's new pulpit angrily called the President of the old Synagogue charging "We employed this man mostly on the basis of your recommendation. How could you possibly compare him to Shakespeare, Moses and even G-d Himself, when he can't string together a correct sentence in English, when his knowledge of Hebrew is worse than mine and that on top of everything
else, he's a liar, a cheat and an all-round low-life ?"
"Simple," answered his colleague. "Like Shakespeare he has no Hebrew or Jewish knowledge. Like Moses, he can't speak English, and like God Himself - 'Er is nisht kan mentch (He's not a human being!)"

A man,out for a walk in the woods came across a bear.Frightened for his life,he ran as fast as he could to escape and hide in a cave.He was horrified to find that the bear followed him into the cave trapping him.He closed his eyes and recited "Shema Yisrael" in anticipation of his final moments.When he is finished,he opens his eyes and is surprised to see the bear in front of him wearing a kipa (jewish head cover)on his head with his eyes closed- also praying!
The man thinks to himself "how lucky am I to be cornered by what must be the only jewish bear! He's frum (observant)! We're mishpocheh(one family)...and I'm not Kosher.I'm saved!"He then listens more carefully to the bear's prayer: "...hamotzi lechem min haaretz(the jewish prayer before eating".

Moshe goes to see his Rabbi."Rabbi,last week I missed saying grace after meals."
"Why," asked the Rabbi.
"Because I forgot to wash my hands before the meal."
"That's twice you have broken the law but you still haven't told me why."
"The food wasn't kosher."
"You ate non-kosher food?"asked the Rabbi.
"It wasn't a jewish Restaurant."
"That makes it even worse,"said the now angry Rabbi."Couldn't you have eaten in a kosher one?"
"What?on Yom Kippur?"
