Jewish Joke of the Week: Dog For Sale
A man sees a sign in front of a house: “Talking Dog For Sale. $10.”
He thinks, “No way,” so he knocks on the door.
The owner says, “Dog’s in the backyard.”
The man goes out back.
“Can you really talk?” he asks.
“Of course,” says the dog.
Rav Moshe Feinstein, the supreme halachic decider of the previous generation asks why the parsha of Tzitzis begins on a different note then most of the mitzvos presented in the Torah. Usually, the introduction of a mitzvah is with the words “And Hashem spoke” whereas when Moshe relays the mitzvah of tzitzis the introductory phrase is “And Hashem said” a considerably more softer tone.
