Stephen Colbert - 10 Days of Repentance Hotline
**********Weird things my rabbi did during Rosh Hashana. One - asked for money on Shabbos (donations to Israel Bonds). Two - told a three year old joke (maybe older?) replacing Saddam Hussein/Iraq with Ahmedinejad/Iran. Granted it was still funny - but is this an appropriate Rosh Hashanah message?
Saddam Hussein phoned President Bush and said, "George, I called you because I had this incredible dream last night. I could see all of America, and it was beautiful and on top of every building, there was a beautiful banner."
President Bush asked, "What was on the banner?"
Saddam responded, "It said Allah is God, and God is Allah."
President Bush said, "You know, Saddam, I'm really glad you called, because last night I had a dream too. I could see all of Baghdad, and it was even more beautiful than before the war. It had been completely rebuilt, and on every building there was also a beautiful banner."
Saddam said, "What was on the banner?"
President Bush replied, "I really don't know. I don't read Hebrew."
**********Tomorrow's a minor fast day - The Fast of Gedaliah. Sunrise until the stars comoe out. A good opportunity to lose some of the honey cake calories from the last few days.
