40,000 Unfinished Ford Trucks Keep Piling Up in Massive Lots Visible From Space
I wouldn't worry about it. Remember how Lone Starr had been left on the doorstep of a monastery in the Ford galaxy?
It's like that. The entire universe is Hebrew school. The yeshiva of shemen-ever, of perpetual midnight oil for the light as it were. Not sold in stores.
Anyone ever hear of Amalekite humor? Didn't think so. Not in their nature. At all. Am lo kadosh, the unholy people. Yet the etymology of the name continues to elude the best minds in the biz. Just who *are* those people, anyway? 🤔
And as for Jewish humor? On every doorstep!
Folk just aren't prepared.
I mean look at the schedule for today, Orion aka the "mighty hunter" is due to make a big splash on the big [blue] screen, off the coast of Mexico near Guadalupe Island,
inhabited only by scientists, military personnel operating a weather station, and a small group of seasonal fishermen.
Which could go a long way in explaining why The island is mostly arid and has very little surface water..
Yet,
"At the end of the runway near threshold 5 is the wreckage of a Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar, which overshot the runway during landing."
A Model 18, no less.

You know, there's something about this place. Everybody seems so Grim.Speaking of the Brothers, hear the last 30 seconds of Rabbi Mendel Kessin's recent shiur:
-- Well they're just intimidated. They've only seen us on the big screeeen.
You really have to appreciate Yaakov and Esav's story, because it is so pivotal to what's happening now. The fight between subduing evil and bringing down kedusha, the origins of Mashiach ben Yosef and Mashiach ben Dovid, you see.And the two different jobs of Yaakov and Esav. I mean, all of this is with us today. But you have to really, really be fascinated with the way the Torah deals with this, that it can use one set of psukim -- verses -- to describe two different events. That's astounding.
A Deeper Understanding of the Story of Yaakov and Esav - Part 3
Why, certainly, even in an eats shoots and leaves kind of way:
Gen 25***
24. And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb:
25. And the first came out red all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau:
Can you believe this? When Yaakov the straight man took on the job of Esav the mighty hunter, he ended up playing the funny man as well. No wonder Esau said "I'm gonna kill you for that!"
"See also Everyman" [for the atonement of souls]

A Wild Hare, as everybody knows (Edom-Rome), destroyed the Second Temple, resulting in this here 2000-year exile of the Jewish People:
The line, "What's up, Doc?", was added by director Tex Avery for this film. Avery explained later that it was a common expression in Texas where he was from, and he did not think much of the phrase. But when this short was screened in theaters, the scene of Bugs calmly chewing a carrot, followed by the nonchalant "What's Up, Doc?", went against any 1940s audience's expectation of how a rabbit might react to a hunter and caused complete pandemonium in the audience, bringing down the house in every theater. As a result of this popularity, Bugs eats a carrot and utters some version of the phrase in almost every one of his cartoons; sometimes entirely out of context.[7]
So, the simplest acronym for this year—תשפג—is “May it be a Year of Great Wonder” (תְּהֵא שְׁנַת פֶּלֶא גָּדוֹל). The “Great Wonder” that we are anticipating this year is the coming of Mashiach, who is related to the word “wonder,” since Isaiah calls Mashiach the “wondrous counselor” (פֶּלֶא יוֹעֵץ), which itself equals the word “physician” (רוֹפֵא).[4] The Mashiach is the expert physician who comes to heal us from all our ailments. He achieves this with the Torah. So that is the simplest thing we should have in mind and pray to Hashem that we merit seeing it with our physical eyes this year.
Rachel Imenu received the merit of ending the exile. Rachel died where David was then born. How long must she cry until her children catch on?
Because,
There's this sad thing going on where so many people are crying for the coming of the Messiah, the son of the red-haired youth. Dead serious about it, too. Thousand of years of tears. It's bad out there, yet
Yet to cry out for David [דוד] *is* to cry uncle [דוד] -- to finally give up, to laugh, love and live again, thereby opening the 50th gate, the double golden gates of mercy. L'Chaim, the place of the blessing.
It's not complicated: laughter is the best medicine, paradoxically reducing everyone to tears:
The Mashiach is the expert physician who comes to heal us from all our ailments. He achieves this with the Torah.
Exactly right. Cops and Robbers, because the little ones know that you'd better not mess with the Law:

You want out of this parking lot?
Davidson's bakery bought it, but as soon as the Brothers on a Mission from God saw the baby clothes, there was no question that this place has got everything.
Moshiach’s own lineage had a similar beginning, starting with a descendant of Lot and his own daughter. Even the most crooked path to redemption can be “straightened” with the help of a little Kabbalah.***
The day on which the Jewish people’s exiles will be gathered is so monumental and [this ingathering] will be such a difficult [procedure], that it is as though God Himself must literally take each individual Jew with His very hands, [taking him] out of his place [in exile]. (Rashi, Devarim 30:3)
Gather together...
, it's not only the simple meaning, it's the Law.
