BASEBALL AND ME <\/p>\n
First of all, a very happy birthday to me. In honor of my birthday, I would like to share a true story. Somebody once came over to me and said, “Yankel, you are acting like such a baby!”<\/p>\n
I shrugged my shoulders and answered, “I can’t help it; I was born that way!”<\/p>\n
This week’s Torah portion discusses the idea of korbanos<\/em>, animal sacrifices which the Jewish people brought on the Alter in the times of the Holy Temple. The animal was first slaughtered in a process called shechitah<\/em>, ritual slaughter. That reminds me of a joke:<\/p>\n Why did the cow refuse to be slaughtered? The animal’s blood was not allowed to spill on the ground. It was collected in a holy vessel that was held right next to the animal. This part of the process is called kabbalas dam<\/em>, receiving the blood. That reminds me of another joke. <\/p>\n What do kabbalas dam<\/em> and baseball have in common? In that spirit… What do you call a korban<\/em> on an airplane? Another baseball joke: This leads to a very personal joke (also in honor of my birthday).
