A Joke to Start the Week - "Two Antennas"


It's another Monday, and time to share another Joke to Start the Week. We're still processing some of the classic jokes that we collected from the volunteer joke tellers who vacationed last month at the Berkshire Hills Eisenberg Adult Vacation Center in Copake, New York. The season has ended, but the happy memories linger on.

Retired accountant Ted Klein had as much fun telling his jokes as we had listening to them and recording them. Today we're posting another one of Ted's jokes.

Here's the setup: Two antennas meet on the roof and fall in love. And then...

A Joke to Start the Week - "Keeping the Faith"


Monday is here again, and we hope you're glad that it means it's joke time at Jewish Humor Central.

We're still laughing from the jokes that we told and heard during the first week of July at the Berkshire Hills Eisenberg Adult Vacation Center in Copake, New York. Once again it brought us back in touch with staff members and vacationers who shared jokes with us last year and who came prepared with a few more for us to share with you.

Here's one by Naomi Goldstein, a senior citizen coordinator from New York who is now retired and living in Florida.

Here's the setup: Becky and her son live in Europe, and her son decides he wants to go to America. Becky is heartbroken, but her son says "Don't worry Mama, I'll write to you all the time."  And then...

Enjoy!

A Joke to Start the Week - "The New Citizen"


In the last few weeks we've been posting jokes that we recorded at the Eisenberg Berkshire Hills Adult Vacation Center, where we returned for our third year of Jewish humor lectures for the seniors who come to the mountains for a summer vacation. We discovered that it's a great place to find new joke telling talent.

And we found some good jokes, such as the ones told by Naomi Goldstein, a senior citizen coordinator from New York who is now retired and living in Florida. 

We posted her Mozart on the Bus joke two weeks ago. This week she's back with another one. 

Here's the setup for today's joke: Abie comes to this country. He's a tailor, and all he wants is to become a citizen. So he works very hard and studies very hard. And then...

Enjoy!

A Joke to Start the Week - "Ours is Prettier"


Our suntan from spending a week at the Eisenberg Berkshire Hills Adult Vacation Center hasn't worn off yet, and neither have the jokes that we recorded while we were there earlier this month. 

Bob Epstein, a retired Assistant Principal in the New York City School System, entertained guests with his wide collection of stories and jokes, and we still have a few more to share with you.

Here's the setup for this week's joke: Harry and Sadie have been married for quite a long time. Sadie goes into a restaurant one day and she sees her husband at a table with a young woman. And then...

Enjoy!

A Joke to Start the Week - "How to Spend Retirement"


It's the first Monday in August, and we're just back from doing five shows in the Berkshires.

Presenting a series of five Jewish humor programs for the third year in a row at the Eisenberg Berkshire Hills Adult Vacation Center, we once again encountered Bob Epstein, a retired Assistant Principal in the New York City School System.

At Berkshire Hills Bob serves as recreation specialist, and that includes joke telling sessions with the seniors who come to the mountains for a summer vacation. We asked Bob to share a few jokes with us and we'll be sharing them with you today and in the coming weeks.

Here's the setup: Two old friends meet, and they talk about their retirement and how they spend their time. And then...

Enjoy!
