Inside, some 150 undergraduates from the school’s main campus in Greenwich Village spend their semester abroad learning about Prague and, for the students of professor Kateřina Čapková’s Modern Jewish History class, the rebirth of the storied city’s historic Jewish community.

Weeping uncontrollably a distraught mother one day called on a Chassidic Rebbe. “Rebbe,” she exclaimed, “It’s my son; he’s acting really strange; I think he needs a psychiatrist!”
“What’s the matter,” asked the Rebbe, visibly concerned.
“The matter?” cried the woman, “he’s behaving like a lowlife! He was observed dancing with gentile women and dining on swine! I’m telling you, he went Mishuga.
The Rebbe pondered the crisis for a quiet moment. “My dear lady,” he then declared: The good news is that your son is far from Mishuga.”
“You see, if your son were dancing with pigs and dining on women, I’d say that he is indeed insane, but that’s not what you describe. The characteristics you present are that of ‘sinfulness’ not ‘insanity.’”
“No, no; your son is not crazy. He has rather become a crude and lascivious young man, and there’s nothing crazy about it. ”

Yankel appeared in Shul one day with both his ears heavily bandaged. “I was ironing a shirt when the phone rang,” he sheepishly explained. “That explains one ear,” blurted a fellow congregant, “But what about the other?” “My luck,” came the reply, “the guy decided to call back.”

The Shrinkage of Our Population and Why It Must Stop
Let’s face it: it is unusual and somewhat bizarre nowadays, to encounter a family with more than two children. It is almost as if a war is launched against the unborn after the ‘red limit’ of two or three children, has been reached. Instead of enriching our world with the unparallel innocence and joy of children, we have invaded it with various ways of contraception. It is no wonder that the birth ratio of our global population is rapidly deteriorating. In the United States, it stands at 2.11 children per family. Europe’s birth ratio is even lower: it currently stands at 1.38 children per family, and if not for the massive influx of immigrants from North Africa and the Middle East, it could have been much worse.
