Today’s 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?”
The next day, the rabbi is standing inside a massive hangar, slowly circling the jet like he’s inspecting a kosher kitchen before Pesach.
He stops. Points.
“This is where it breaks?”
“Yes, rabbi. Right along that seam.”
The rabbi nods. “Let’s go up.”
They climb onto the wing. The engineer is confused but curious.
The rabbi points along the fault line and says, very calmly:
“Drill a row of tiny holes along here. Edge to edge. About a quarter inch apart.”
The engineer stares at him. “Rabbi… with respect… why would that help?”
The rabbi smiles.
“Because matzah never breaks on the dotted line.”
