Foundation Sacrificing for the Poor
It was the morning of the feast. When the hand-kissing was over, ten-year-old Kerem asked his father:
-Father, why don't we sacrifice a sacrifice?

The father was astonished.
-Give me that book. Where are you reading these from?
A book called "Interesting Foundations in History"…
