An old Jewish woman on her eightieth birthday decides to prepare her last will and testament. She goes to a rabbi to ask his advice on certain points. After all the monetary issues are discussed, she tells the rabbi of her last two requests.
The first request is that upon her death she is to be cremated. The rabbi strenuously tries to change her mind explaining that Judaism does not allow such a practice, but she is determined and insistent.
Seeing the futility of his arguments, the rabbi asks, “What is your second request?”
“I want my ashes to be scattered over Bloomingdales.”
“Bloomingdales? Why Bloomingdales?”
“Then I will be sure that my daughter will visit me at least twice a week!”
