Just thinking of our ethnic dishes
can make digestive juices run
and Jewish holidays such fun––
chopped liver and gefilte fishes.
Gastronomy will save the Jews
until they’ve earned another treat,
Leviathan, which they will eat
with recipes that God will choose
when He rewards them for the fact
that they ate fish and liver chopped
until their Jewish hearts were stopped,
their coronaries no more intact.
According to b. Baba Batra, God will serve the righteous the Leviathan when the messiah comes.
