which the queen has decided to grant
him knighthood ... At the ceremony,
as she touches his shoulders with the
sword, he is supposed to recite an
ancient Celtic blessing ... However, for
all his medical genius, the doctor can-
not seem to memorize the required
Celtic \vords.
On the day of his investiture, the
nervous doctor waits his turn as sever-
al others are being knighted before
him ... As he listens to one after
another correctly recite the Celtic
blessing, he grows more and more
nervous.
Finally, when he kneels before the
Queen of England and she taps his
shoulders with the sword, the good
doctor completely forgets the Celtic
words, and then, thinking fast, substi-
tutes the only other words he knows
in a foreign language, which he
remembers from the Passover seder ...

"Mah nishtanah halaylah hazeh mikol
halaylot."

The queen, clearly confused, looks
to the gathered crowd and says, "Why
is this knight different from all other
knights?"
KORN KORNER ... The weather
had been tough on many of Europe's
root crops ... A week before Passover
the Jewish Community of Madrid
found that the shipment of horserad-
ish it had ordered from Bolivia would
now not arrive until 10 days after the
Passover ended.
The community needed the horse-
radish for its traditional paschal ritual
of maror, but whomever they tried
approaching from among suppliers,
they received the same reply, "Sorry!
No can do." ... In desperation, the
rabbi phoned one of his yeshiva
friends in Tel Aviv ... who happened
ro be the second cousin of the mash-
giach for Agrexco ... and begged him
to organize the dispatch of a crate of
Israeli horseradish roots, by air freight
to Madrid.
It took the friend two days to organ-
ize, and two days before Passover, a
crate of "grade A," tear-jerking horse-
radish roots was proudly loaded at Ben
Gurion Airport onto the El Al flight
789 to Madrid, and all seemed to be
well.
Unfortunately when the rabbi came
to Madrid Airport in order to take the
crate out of customs, he was informed
that an unforeseen wildcat strike had
just broken out among the members
of the airport's Transport and General
Workers Union, and no shipments
would be unloaded.
So you see, "the chrain in Spain
staved mainly on the plane."Ei
