Laugh a little
Tsodoka
Judith is elected President of her local Jewish women's charity and is giving her inaugural speech. Although she has never made such an important speech before, she realises that she must end it by encouraging the ladies present to give more generously than they have ever given before. So how did she succeed in doing this? Here is what she told her audience just before she sat down.
"When I was a much, much younger woman," she says, "I got married to Morris at the Edgware shul. The chuppah was followed by a catered wedding reception at Minky's of Mayfair, arranged for us by my lovely parents. It was a fabulous affair and after all the guests had left, Morris and I went up to our room on the 2nd floor.
As soon as we had shut and locked our door, Morris came over to me and with a twinkle in his eyes said, 'Well, my darling Judith, the time has arrived at last. You know what you are here for, don't you?'
"And so my dear ladies, I turn to you now and say to you all, 'I'm sure that you know exactly what you are here for. So please give generously. You'll feel great afterwards. I did!"
