MY BORN AGAIN DTR-IN-LAW, UNDERSTAND SOME YIDDISH

Word of the Day: CHUTZPAH . . .

Chutzpah is a Yiddish word meaning having gall...brazen nerve...effrontery...sheer guts...

plus arrogance; it's Yiddish and, as Leo Rosten writes, no other word, and no other language,

can do it justice.

A little old lady sold pretzels on a street corner for a dollar each.

Every day a young man would leave his office building at lunch time and as

he passed the pretzel stand, he would leave her a dollar, but never take a pretzel.

This offering went on for more than three years. The two of them never spoke.

One day as the young man passed the old lady's stand and left his dollar as usual,

the pretzel lady spoke to him for the first time in over three years. Without blinking

an eye she said: "They're a dollar and a quarter now."

Yeah, but who the hell wants to dip their "pretzel" into a "community mustard" these days? Drafter told me that is how one can get VD.

A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site.

She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview.

"Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?

"Morris Feinberg," he replied.

"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"

"For about 60 years."

"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"

"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop. I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults and to love their fellow man. I pray that politicians tell us the truth and put the interests of the people ahead of their own interests."

"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"

"Like I'm talking to a frigging wall."
