7. Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all?"

8. What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?

11. If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?

12. How do they get deer to cross the road only at those yellow road signs?

***********

This year we have 2 months of Adar. The rule is that we always celebrate Purim in the second Adar. Why? The answer is to connect Purim to Pesach. So...In another month it will be Pesach, when we shall say at the seder “in every generation they stand against us to destroy us, but  the Holy One Blessed Be He saves us from their hands.” And thus, we pray to hear good news from Israel.

Shabbat shalom, shalom `al Yisrael
