Wherever I may be, my blog turns toward Eretz Yisrael
Because the bracha for geshem has more words?
expand please...
that joke only works (now) in israel. please re-tell it for your diaspora readers on 4 december ...
the junior: :-)
that joke is older than your readers.
TrilCat: depends on the readers ;-)
an oldy, but goody
This is not a yekke joke.It's either late (in Israel) or early (elsewhere).
Juggling Frogs; Of course its a yekke joke! And its perfectly appropriate for Israel, since tonight, we start saying ותן טל ומטר לברכהinstead of just ותן ברכהthe extra 2 words would make the yekke "late" from shul
My bad. I thought Israelis were already saying tal umater. You're right: since it's on time it IS a yekkish joke.
Juggling Frogs; While I might not be a yekke, I went to Breuers for a few years :-)
