Jewish History

A Hebrew teacher stood in front of his class and said, "The Jewish people have observed their 5,759th year as a people..."

"Consider that the Chinese, for example, have only observed their 4,692nd year as a people. Now, what does it mean to you?"

After a moment of silence, a student raised his hand.

"Yes, David," the teacher said, "what does it mean?"

David replied,"It means that the Jews had to suffer without Chinese food for 1,067 years."
