At Home

Years ago when Soviet Jews were desperate to leave the Soviet Union a Russian Jew applied for a visa to emigrate to Israel.   He mailed in the forms and was later interviewed by the KGB.   The official asked, “Do you have any relatives abroad?”   The Russian Jew answered, “No.”   However it was known that the Jew had a brother that lived in Israel.   “Ah,” he replied.   “My brother is at home.   It is I who am abroad.”
