Goldberg, the representative of the Jewish people on earth, wanted to meet the boss.
The arrangements were made, and Goldberg was soon ushered into the Gates of Heaven. He was expected. After a short delay, he was brought into the office.
Goldberg said, Hello, I am Goldberg, the representative of the Jewish people on earth. They have sent me here to see YOU.
The Boss responded, Yes, Mr. Goldberg, what can I do for You?
Goldberg approached HIM. You see, they wanted me to ask you if it is true, the we Jews are the chosen people?
The Boss said loud and clear, YES Mr. Goldberg YOU are the chosen people.
Goldberg hesitated a moment, but then spoke.
Well could you do us a favor? Woud you mind choosing somebody else for a change?

Tevye: I know, I know. We are Your chosen people. But, once in a while, can’t You choose someone else?

It is a true irony that adversity can be you greatest blessing....America is a case in point ...from the Pilgrims to the revolution it greatness was driven by people leaving tyranny
It is odd that Nietzsche's... "That which does not kill us makes us stronger.".... may in part apply to God and his chosen... but it the way a Father must be sometime with his children he truly loves
Thanks for the laugh.
Either you are Jewish or the joke was first told by someone who is.

That's the only reason the Poles and Jews argue -- they can't decide who are the chosen people!
