120. Jewish Wise Women
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THREE WISE JEWISH WOMEN HAD GONE TO BETHLEHEM INSTEAD OF THREE WISE MEN????
They would have asked directions. Arrived on time. Helped deliver the baby. Hired someone to clean the stable. Made a brisket. And brought practical gifts.
And what would they have said to each other after they left?
"Did you see the sandals Mary was wearing with that shmatta?" "That baby doesn't look anything like Joseph!" "Virgin? I knew her in school!" "Can you believe they let all of those disgusting animals in there?" "I heard that Joseph doesn't have a job." "And that donkey they are riding has seen better days!" "We'll just see how long it will take to get your brisket dish back."
