Jewish Joke of the Week: The Engineer and his Rabbi

An aerospace company is building a next-generation fighter jet… and every single test ends the same way: the wings snap clean off mid-flight.

They try everything. Stronger alloys. New structural designs. Reinforcements. Nothing works.

The chief engineer, running on fumes and coffee, goes to his rabbi. “Rabbi, I’m out of ideas. We’ve tried everything. Every test… same failure, same exact spot.”

The rabbi leans in. “Same place every time?”

“Every time.”

The rabbi strokes his beard. “Can I come see it?”

To Be or Not To Be

One of the most special sacrifices is that of the burnt offering. The entire animal is consumed on the altar, obviously an indication of absolute and exclusive consideration to serve Hashem. Only the outer skin, the hide is not given to Hashem but rather presented to the Kohanim, the priests, our representatives in the Mishkan and the Beis Hamikdash.
