A Joke to Start the Week - "Interview with Mother Mary"

It's another Monday, and time for another joke to start the week. This week we're diving into the archives of the Yiddish Book Center for an old joke.

 

Since 2010, the Yiddish Book Center’s Wexler Oral History Project has recorded hundreds of in-depth video interviews that provide a deeper understanding of the Jewish experience and the legacy and changing nature of Yiddish language and culture. 

The interviews in the growing collection are conducted in Yiddish and/or English with narrators of all ages from a variety of backgrounds. 

Most of the interviews are reminiscenses of Jewish life around the world, but some of them are retellings of old Jewish jokes. Here's an oldie but goodie told by psychiatrist Gregory Firman about a devout Catholic priest who gets his wish fulfilled.

Enjoy!
