A Joke to Start the Week - "Why Rabbis Tell Jokes"

It's Monday again. Time for another joke to start the week. But this time it's a little different. We're bringing you not only a joke, and a joke by a rabbi, but an analysis of why rabbis tell jokes.

The joke and its context is delivered by Rabbi Shais Taub. Rabbi Taub has delivered Torah lectures to audiences on six continents. 

The Chabad rabbi writes a popular weekly column in Ami Magazine and is the author the bestseller G-d of Our Understanding: Jewish Spirituality and Recovery from Addiction as well as several groundbreaking works on Tanya including: the Tanya Map teaching tool, the Soul Maps curriculum, and the audio series Mapping the Tanya.

Enjoy!
