Bernie had a complaint for everyone.
“My back hurts.” “My knees hurt.” “I can’t sleep.”
“The doctor doesn’t know what’s wrong.”
After months of listening to this, his wife finally dragged him to a specialist.

The Mishkan was a highly celebrated event in the nation. It was the culmination of months of hard work after a very successful fundraising campaign that covered all the expenses necessary for its construction. The Torah compares its completion as that of a bride, a kallah, entering into the chupah, the wedding canopy, with her bridegroom, the choson.
Moshe sits down in his psychiatrist’s office looking exhausted.
“Doctor,” he says, “I had the strangest dream last night. I was talking to my mother, and everything seemed normal… until I suddenly realized she had your face.”
