A cry for help

“Many years ago, when I was a young boy, I found a mezuzah on the wall of a deserted house near my street. Since there was still time before I had to get home for lunch, I pulled it off the wall and opened it. Inside, I found a piece of old paper on which was written words I will never forget:

“‘Please help me. I’m being held prisoner in a mezuzah factory.’”

Benjamin, a young Talmud student who had left Israel for Los Angeles some years earlier, returns to visit his family.

"Benjamin, where is your beard?" asks his mother.

"Mother," he replies, "in L.A., nobody wears a beard."

"Mother, business is business. In L.A., everybody works on the Sabbath."

"But kosher food you still eat?" asks his mother.

"Mother, in L.A., it is difficult to keep kosher when you go out."

His elderly mother thinks about what she has just heard. Then she leans over and whispers in his ear, "Benjamin, tell me, are you still circumcised?"
