It's a Tradition!

After years of marriage, a husband asks his wife

What is the reason she always cuts off the end of the brisket before cooking?

She says, it is a minhag (custom)!

He asks what is the source?

She says, I saw my mother  do this, my grandmother did this, and my great grandmother said it is the minhag.

 No one knew the reason.

 Finally, a great aunt was located in a nursing home.

They asked her.

She said, she knows the reason. She asked her great grandmother, and she said," The reason I cut off the end, is because my pot is too small, and did not have room for the whole brisket!!    -Rabbi Sandy Press

Judaism is all about keep faith with the past.  Sometimes it is humorous and sometimes serious.  Yet, is is always valuable.
