 | | I mean, humans laugh, we tell jokes and stories, we find things that are funny, and to think that none of our religious patriarchs, matriarchs and prophets ever laughed is indeed very hard to believe. |
 | | So here's the scene: we have the patriarch and matriarch of what some believe is the beginning of western civilization, at a very powerful, somber and awe-inspiring moment, and they are laughing at their God, laughing in disbelief and shock - they're not even trying to hide it, it's got to be a joke. |
 | | And we are still laughing, in part thank goodness to the Jewish story tellers who, beginning with Genesis, have been sharing the laughter of disbelief, shock and surprise in the Cosmic setting. |
