🥣 Jewish Joke of the Week: The Shabbat Dinner Invitation
Murray and Esther invited their new neighbors, a young couple, over for Shabbat dinner.
Esther spent the entire afternoon preparing. There was homemade challah, chicken soup, brisket, kugel, roasted vegetables, and three different desserts.
The young couple arrived, took one look at the table, and couldn’t believe their eyes.
“Esther, this is incredible!” the young woman exclaimed. “You must have been cooking for days!”
“Just a little something I threw together,” Esther replied.
They sat down and began eating.
After the soup, Esther brought out the brisket.
After the brisket came the kugel.
Then the vegetables.
Then the desserts.
By the end of the meal, the young husband was leaning back in his chair, completely stuffed.
“Esther,” he said, “that was the most wonderful meal we’ve ever had. But I have to ask. Do you really cook like this every single Friday?”
Esther smiled.
“Of course not, darling.”
The young man looked relieved.
“Sometimes we have guests on Saturday, too.”
