They searched his person, sifted the straw, steeped it in water, even burned it from time to time. Since he admitted to being a smuggler when he trudged home every night, the border guards searched him again and again. Meanwhile he was becoming visibly more and more prosperous.

In the Sufi version, Yusuf and Zubaida finally marry but when Yusuf asks his wife to leave her lengthy prayers and come to bed, she replies. Have you heard the one about the Jew and the Arab who walked into a bar? Take the famous Sufi tale of Yusuf and Zuleika the wife of Potiphar , for example, the story of the Egyptian noblewoman who forsakes her honor and riches for the love of the beautiful Hebrew dreamer — the very same Joseph who was thrown into a pit by his brothers.

Larry David is a genius at exposing the hypocrisies in American society, just as Hoja did in his own way in the 13 th century. He will be leading retreats at Easton Mountain retreat center in upstate New York, including an Erotic Shabbaton for Gay/Bi Jewish Men next fall and “Prayerbook of the Body,” a body-positive.

Chances are, in these dystopian times, that no one would look up from their phones and their masks to notice, and in fact, the bar would be closed. In another, the couple discuss baby names. Who wrote it first, you might ask? Here are some classic examples: “Two guys walk into a bar.

But before you insist that the Taliban have some kind of cultural monopoly, consider this gem of an Afghan tribal joke as told to me by an Afghan woman friend : There was a pir saintly man who went to a village in Peshawar to ensure the building of a shrine to another pir who had died there.

Indeed so much of Jewish and Arab — this is problematic, so shall we say Ashkenazi and Levantine? But I admit my tastes are rather old school. Find out in our blog from Vanessa Hidary about her show “A Gay And A Jew Walk Into A Bar.” The show digs further into the topic of identity that.

While this kind of humor is right up there with the darkest of say Russian Jewish humor, it also demonstrates how tribal loyalties in Afghanistan trump faith. It was Him I loved all along — you were just a veil of the Infinite. In the vast world of storytelling who has the monopoly on the best jokes?

Here one of the customs officers met him, years later. So, the very next day, they killed him, and built a shrine. This puts paid to the rather North American stereotype that Jews get all the best lines and Muslims and Arabs are somehow humorless — as do the Hoja jokes that are very popular in Afghanistan, a country much less celebrated for its humor than for its terrorism.

Or Muslim, Jewish and Christian Arab…. And of course, one can simultaneously be both a Jew and an Arab. But I say, why not both? You must build a shrine or face divine wrath. And while US foreign policy in the region and growing Islamophobia remain huge issues, shows like Curb demonstrate how comedy can lead by example.

It comes as no surprise to learn that Hoja, like the best Sufi sages, borrowed heavily from a variety of traditions including Persian, Indian, Buddhist and yes, Jewish. Their whole schtick, as with the best humor, is to emphasize the very absurdity of existence, through instructive anecdotes about human foibles.
