Jewish Deep Thoughts.
By Ari Greenberg
Sometimes I think that I’ve accomplished a lot in a day. Then I ask
myself, "did I unify the Divine Name today?" Then I cry and I cry and I
cry, but then I realize, tomorrow is another day.
Sometimes I ask myself, "Who wrote the Torah?" I answer God, and then
laugh.
Have you ever wondered why some Jews wear black clothing and hats? Maybe
it’s because they have bad fashion sense. Or maybe they’re just
colorblind.
Whenever I see women sitting behind a mehitza and I always want to yell,
"Hey, what are you doing outside of the house?"
Whenever I try to shake an Orthodox girl’s hand and she doesn’t respond,
I always wonder, how does she know that I didn’t wash after the
bathroom.
I once went into a bookstore in Meah Sharim and asked for a copy of
Aristotle, they looked at me like I was from Mars, but when I asked for
the Rambam, they knew exactly what I was talking about. Weird.
I always think that it would’ve been cool to go to Rashi’s house for
dinner, and if he served cheese, I’d then ask what the hecksher was. If
it didn’t have a hecksher I’d walk out and say, "Sorry, I can’t eat
here, I only eat heckshered food."
Sometimes I stay up late at night and wonder what Moses would think
about Judaism today. Then I say to myself, "Well, maybe he would be pissed." Then I fall asleep and dream of beautiful women.
Sometimes I think that if Elisha Ben Abuyah (yes I used his name) were
here, he'd be amazed at how much glow in the dark stuff we have and how
much of it we take for granted.
Whenever I feel that I’m headed towards insanity I always think of the
the plague of Tzfardai'ah and then I feel better.
This guy came up to me and asked me why I don’t follow everything in the
Torah, I simply responded, "Because polygamy isn’t legal in NY."
Sometimes I think that Chabad is silly for believing the Menachem Mendel
Schneerson is the Messiah, then I think, hey, it worked for
Christianity. They’re doing pretty well.
Do we receive residuals from the Gideons? I mean c’mon, they’ve copied
our books and placed them all over the world, aren’t we entitled to some
money?
Ya think Moses got a lot of women? I think so.
Somebody should set up a shopping mall in Texas called the Western Mall.
People could come from all over and pray in front of it.
If GQ had been around in the 18th century in Poland, I bet the Baal Shem
Tov would have been the best dressed man of the year.
I think that circumcision is painful.
Who do you think would win in an arm wrestling contest, Ramban or
Rambam? I’d put 50 bucks on Rambam.
I think that Sarah the Matriarch was probably pretty hot.
Why did Rashi have to write in a different script from everyone else. Maybe he was the boy in class that had lousy handwriting. To make him feel better they gave him his own "special" script.
Whenever I see another Jew doing something that I think is wrong, I like
to throw rocks at him or her. That’s the only way they’ll ever learn.
Really.

More from Ari Greenberg:
Sometimes when I'm walking in Mea Sharim I am overcome with the urge to
throw paint on the children and yell, "It's OK, you can wear colors."
I once saw a haredi guy in a strip bar in Jerusalem. It was cool.
Does anyone else think that Rabbi Ovadia Yosef looks a lot like Alf?
I can't wait for the YU book sale, it's such a meat market.
Ya ever think the OU goes too far? I mean c'mon, a hecksher on aluminum
foil?
How come Rabbenu Tam tefillin never really became popular? It's sort
of like capri pants for men.
Do you think eating soy bacon is maarit ayin?
