Good PR
Moses was leading his people from Egypt and came upon the Red Sea. He snapped his fingers and said: “Manny, front and center!”
Up came Manny, a publicity manager: “Yes, sir. What can I do for you?”
Moses: “The BOATS!”
Manny: “What?”
Moses: “Where are the boats to get us across the Red Sea?”
Manny: “Oh, my God, Moses, with all of the news items and human interest stories, I forgot! With all that stuff involving the plagues, death of the first born, Passover, I plumb forgot!”
Moses: “You nincompoop! What do you expect me to do? Talk to God, and ask Him to part the waters, and then let our people pass through safely, and then have the water close in on the Egyptians and drown them?
“Is that what you expect?”
Manny: “Boss, you do that, and I’ll get you two pages in the Torah!”
Seder health hazard
A group of leading medical researchers have published data indicating that seder participants should not partake of both chopped liver and charoses.
It seems that this combination can lead to charoses of the liver.
