Naches from your Kinder

Do you know the story about the man who meets his friend whom he has not seen in a long time. He says to him: “How is your daughter, the one who is married to a C.P. A.?
The man says: “Oh, they divorced some time ago.”
The friend says: “Oh, I am sorry to hear that.”
The man says: “Oh, don’t be. After she divorced him, she married a lawyer.”
The friend says: “Oh really. Mazel tov!
The man says: “Thank you, but then they got divorced too.”
The friend says: “Oh, I am sorry to hear that.”
The man says: Oh, don’t be. A year later, she married a doctor.”
The friend says: A CPA? A lawyer? A doctor? Fun ein kint azoi fill naches!”

For those of you who don’t know Yiddish: from one child so much pleasure?  Rabbi Jack Reimer

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
