A Joke to Start the Week: 'If You Knew What I Have"

It's Monday again, and time for another Joke to Start the Week. Today we're sharing a joke told by cantor and comedian Herschel Fox.

Fluent in Yiddish and Hebrew, Herschel Fox has appeared in countless night clubs, theatres and synagogues throughout the United States. He has shared the stage with artists such as Jan Peerce, Mickey Katz, and Molly Picon. 

Primarily a cantor, having trained with Cantor David Koussevitzky and Sidor Belarsky, he has held positions in synagogues in Connecticut, New York, and California.

But Herschel is also a stand-up comedian and loves to tell stories in Yinglish. Today we're sharing a joke from his 2021 presentation "The World of Jewish Humor" at Valley Beth Shalom in Encino, California, where Herschel has been a cantor for more than 40 years.
 
Here's the setup: A little Jewish grandmother gets on a crowded bus and discovers she doesn't have the correct change for the fare. And then...

Enjoy!
