A Joke to Start the Week - "Wedding Night"

It's Monday again, and at Jewish Humor Central that means only one thing -- it's time for another joke to start the week.

Today's joke is from our collection of jokes from Toronto's Jewish Folks Telling Jokes, a major contribution to Jewish humor by Jewish Family and Child Service, one of the foremost Jewish service agencies in North America.

Most jokes in this series are oldies but goodies. You've probably heard them before, but it's always good to hear them again, especially when retold by new joke tellers.

Here's today's setup for the joke told by Doreen Glick: A very young and very very naive Orthodox couple had an arranged marriage. And after the wedding they found themselves in their bridal suite. And then...

Enjoy!

Here's the setup: A man walks into a shul with his dog, a St. Bernard. They usually have a cask of rum around their neck but this dog has a tallis bag. And then...

A Joke to Start the Week - "A Memorable Sermon"

A few years ago, Toronto's Koerner Hall was the site of a performance of Jewish Folks Telling Jokes, a night of comedy to benefit Jewish Family and Child, one of the foremost Jewish service agencies in North America.

Jewish Family and Child supports the healthy development of individuals, children, families, and communities through prevention, protection, counseling, education and advocacy services, within the context of Jewish values.

We previously posted a few jokes that were told at the event, a Canadian contribution to the world of Jewish humor, probably inspired by the off-Broadway show Old Jews Telling Jokes, still touring around the USA.

We were lucky to discover a few more jokes from these talented Toronto joke tellers, and we'll be sharing some of them in future posts of A Joke to Start the Week.

This week's joke is told by David Goldbloom.

Here's the setup: It's a Saturday morning and the rabbi is finishing his sermon. And as he looks to the back of the hall, he sees Sheldon Goldstein. And then...
