  • Joke rabbi in fur hat.jpg

    Shtetler Stan submitted the joke of the week about a young punter who turned a Rabbi’s tip into a small fortune and then lost it all over his poor knowledge of Yiddishgeit & foreign languages. Thanks Stan, it’s great!

  • Jewish Zebra - HOME.jpg

    Our laugh of the week was submitted by Choni this morning. As he says, it is a “bit late, but still…” We have to agree that even if Chanukah ends before most Shtetlers will see this, it is still worth it.

  • Nussbaums - Dear Mr Selebi - HOME.jpg

    SA’s quickest Jewish jokers, Zapiro and Nussbaums, were both hot off the presses with disgraced Jackie Selebi’s illness this weekend. Sadly, Selebi appears to have suffered a real stroke - but the humour remains very clever indeed.

  • Dummies - home.jpg

    Shtetler Stan submitted a very funny cartoon published after the world’s media were amazed that Israeli PM Netanyahu had been giving lectures to world leaders. Guess who he is lecturing and what the subject is. Thanks Stan.

    Shtetler Matthew submitted this hilarious bit of poetry – mostly in English with well-known Yiddish terms. He also attached a glossary which we have posted below the poem for those who don’t understand all the words.

    Shtetler Max submitted this very clever little story of an encounter at the UN. We've made it our joke of the week, Max, but we’re not buying that it actually happened. It is really funny, though.

  • April - home.jpg

    Two regular users thought they’d have some fun with fellow-Shtetlers & submitted bogus stories to the publisher ahead of 1 April. MyShtetl staffers added some reality & illustrations & it worked beautifully.
