"Flight from Egypt"
This little girl, was told to draw her conception of
the Hebrews flight from Egypt. She came home
with a picture of an airplane, the passengers all
with halos and one person up front without one.
When asked about it, she explained, "Oh, that's
Pontius, the pilot."

"The Children of Israel"
At the Henry Street Hebrew School, Mr. Goldblatt,
the new teacher, finished the day's lesson. It was
now time for the usual question period.
"Mr. Goldblatt," announced little Joey, "there's
somethin' I can't figger out."
"What's that Joey?" asked Goldblatt.
"Well accordin' to the Bible, the Children of Israel
crossed the Red Sea, right?"
"Right."
"An' the Children of Israel beat up the Philistines,
right?"
"Er--right."
"An' the Children of Israel built the Temple, right?"
"Again you're right."
"An' the Children of Israel fought the 'gyptians, an'
the Children of Israel fought the Romans, an' the
Children of Israel wuz always doin' somethin'
important, right?"
"All that is right, too," agreed Goldblatt, "So,
what's your question?"
"What I wanna know is this," demanded Joey,
"What wuz all the grown-ups doin'"?
