Jewish Joke of the Week: The Sukkah Court Case
David builds a sukkah on the balcony of his apartment. His landlord is furious, claiming it violates the lease, and takes him to court.
The landlord tells the judge that the sukkah is ugly, unsafe, and a fire hazard.
David explains that building and dwelling in a sukkah for the holiday of Sukkot is a Jewish religious obligation dating back thousands of years.
The judge listens carefully to both sides. Finally, he turns to David and says:
“I’m sorry. Your landlord is right. You’ll have to take down the sukkah.”
David’s face falls.
The judge continues:
“I’m giving you eight days to comply.” 😏
