A Joke to Start the Week - "Desert Island Romance"

It's Monday again, and time for another Joke to Start the Week. We have another one today from Sheldon Horowitz, the retired attorney and adjunct professor who attended the annual Camp Hazak week with us in the Catskills in July.

The camp, which was held at the newly refurbished Honor's Haven Resort and Spa in Ellenville, New York, attracted about 70 seniors, mostly from Hazak groups at Conservative synagogues from up and down the east coast. Sheldon had previously given us a few jokes at another Hazak retreat six years ago at Kutsher's Resort. Today we're sharing another one of his new old ones.

Here's the setup: This woman is single. She has no social life. She has no boyfriends, she doesn't go out on dates and doesn't go to parties. She's very down. So her friend says to her "You've got to break out of this. Why don't you go on an ocean cruise?" And then...

Enjoy!

A Joke to Start the Week - "Belated Greeting"

It's another Monday, and time for another Joke to Start the Week.

Last month, when we were presenting programs on Jewish humor at the annual Camp Hazak week in the Catskills, we were glad to run into Sheldon Horowitz, a retired attorney and adjunct professor who loves to tell jokes and has been telling them for many years.

The camp, which was held at the newly refurbished Honor's Haven Resort and Spa in Ellenville, New York, attracted about 70 seniors, mostly from Hazak groups at Conservative synagogues from up and down the east coast. Sheldon had previously given us a few jokes at another Hazak retreat six years ago at Kutsher's Resort. Today we're sharing another one of his new old ones. We still have a few more that we're saving for future weeks.

Here's the setup: This Jewish guy is in a cemetery and he's saying Kaddish. As he's saying Kaddish he looks down the line and sees an old friend of his that he hasn't seen for 25 years. And then...

Enjoy!

A Joke to Start the Week - "Sir Abe and the British Empire"

It's another Monday, and time for another Joke to Start the Week.

Today's jokester is Sheldon Horowitz, an adjunct professor whom we ran into  last week when we were performing at the annual Camp Hazak week in the Catskills.

The camp, which was held at the newly refurbished Honor's Haven Resort and Spa in Ellenville, New York, attracted a group of seniors, mostly from Hazak groups at Conservative synagogues from up and down the east coast. Sheldon had previously given us a few jokes at another Hazak retreat six years ago at Kutsher's hotel.

Here's the setup: Abe Goldberg is this British Jew. He's born in poverty, but he's intelligent, he's hard working, and he has ambition. So he pulls himself up from poverty, he goes from strength to strength, he becomes a captain of industry, he becomes a great philanthropist, and does great things for the empire. And then...

Enjoy!
