The Passover Humor Files

Hi Everyone!

I posted on my website 50 Passover humor files. They range from funny jokes and stories to song parodies. You may want to print several of them before Passover and distribute copies to your family and guests between the seder meal courses. Both kids and adults will find them entertaining (and sometimes educational).

The humor files are located at:
http://www.jr.co.il/humor/passover.htm

The files include:
- The Computer Engineer's Haggadah
- The Dr. Seuss 4 questions
- An Adam Sandler Passover
- Seder Pickup Lines
- Halachik Issues for Peisach
- Exodus of the 3 Stooges
- Passover Story by The New York Times
- Passover Song (tune of "Hotel California")
- Passover Songs (Beatles Paradoy)
- The Plague Song (tune of "This Old Man” )
- Pharaoh, Pharaoh (tune of "Louie, Louie")
- Pesach Macarena (tune of "Macarena")
- Those Were the Plagues (tune of "Those Were the Days")

and many more...

Enjoy!
Happy Passover,
Jacob
