A Message We All Need To Hear

Dr. Turski is a big psychiatrist. He was once on an airplane. Now, do you know who Dr. Tski is? He's dressed like a real kidic Jew. He has a round black hat, long black coat, square white beard. He's on an airplane. A Jewish woman from Russia, an old Jewish woman turns to him and tells him in Yiddish, you know what a shand is? You're a disgrace. You're the cause of anti-semitism. If only you would dress normally, they would stop hating us. But you stand out and that's why they hate us. He looks at her and he says, "Which language are you talking in?" She says, "Yedish." He says, "I don't understand Yiddish." "I am Amish." She says, "Ah, I thought you were acidic." He says, "No, I'm Amish." She says, "I love the Amish." He says, "Why?" She says, "Because you're a minority and yet you maintain your heritage with such pride. I respect you." He looked at her and he said in Yiddish, "If I would have been Amish, you'd love me. Now that I'm Jewish, you're embarrassed by me. I bless you to be able to respect in your own people that which you respect in other people.
