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.
