As for immigrants recently ar-

Further, the broadcasts state,
although accommodations are

The broadcasts also attack
the Jewish state's judicial sys-

Jest for Fun
By I. ZAC
(Copyright, 1950, Jewish TelegaPhic
Agency, Inc.)
Rabbi Yochelman
was engaged on probation by
the Hebrew Temple of the Light
of Israel and Brotherly Love. He
delivered his first sermon, speak-
ing twenty minutes and every-
body was- pleased.
"Rabbi Yochelman is our
man," said the members of the
congregation. Rabbi Yochelman
went home. His wife was happy.
He already made preparations to
move his furniture from the city
in which he had formerly been
rabbi. "The people of this town
like my speaking," he said to his
wife, "we will get along here
much better."
The second Saturday Rabbi
Yochelman, however, was not so
much of a hit. He spoke an
hour. The members of the con-
gregation went up to him and
complained. "Rabbi Yochel-
man," they said, "the first time
you spoke, you spoke twenty
minutes, so we liked it. But now,
you spoke an hour. That's too
long. We can't stand sermons
that long."
"I'll tell you how it was," ex-
plained the Rabbi. "You see, re-
cently I broke my set of false
teeth, so the first time I spoke
without any teeth and how long
can a person without teeth talk?
So I spoke briefly—only twenty
minutes. The second time, I still
didn't have my new false teeth,
so I wore my wife's."
