- On Hanukkah it is appropriate (in the Sephardic tradition) to tell
- stories of Johah. Johah was known to be a little slow and not very
- bright. Here are two of the 1000's of Johah stories.
-
- Johah was sent to the market by his mother to get some matches.
- His mom admosished him as he left to make sure the matches were
- good. A while later Johah returned with the matches. He
- triumphantly handed them to his mother who upon seeing their
- blackened heads had a surprised look. I got your matches Johah
- remarked and they are all good. He knew because he had tested
- every one of them.
-
- Johah went with his mother to a wedding. His mother noticed him
- stuffing a large meatball in his mouth and eating it. His mother
- came to him and said Johah when dealing with round foods you cut
- them into four pieces and eat them individually. Two days later
- at home Johah's mother sets a bowl of lentils in front of him and
- walked away. She came back to find Johah cutting the individual
- lentils into four before eating them...
-
- Hope that gave you a laugh... These stories have been around a
- long...long time. Perhaps others would like to tell more of them.
