THE THREE WEEKS

The Three Weeks
The Three Weeks is an annual mourning period that falls out in the summer. This is when we mourn the destruction of the Holy Temple and our launch into a still-ongoing Exile.
The period begins on the 17th of the Hebrew month of Tammuz, a fast day that marks the day when the walls of Jerusalem were breached by the Romans in 69 CE. It reaches its climax and concludes with the fast of the 9th of Av, the date when both Holy Temples were set aflame. This is the saddest day of the Jewish calendar, and it is also the date of other tragedies, spanning our nation’s history.
JOKE
Chaim Yankel was walking down the street when a security guard came up to him and said, “Why is there a penguin following you?”
Chaim Yankel said, “I don’t know, he just followed me.”
The security guard replied, “You take that penguin to the zoo right now.” And Chaim Yankel complied.
A couple of hours later, Chaim Yankel came out of the zoo with the penguin still following him.
The security guard said, “I thought I told you to take that penguin to the zoo.”
Chaim Yankel replied, “I did, but he enjoyed himself so much that now I’m taking him to the library.”

June 2011 Joke
A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa.
“The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water.”
“But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all, and we all have eaten, or will eat it. Would anyone care to guess what food causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?”
After several seconds of quiet, a small 75-year-old Jewish man in the front row, raised
his hand and said:
“Vedding Cake?”
