[edit] My Bio
Hi, my name is Sagtkd and I am a member of Wikipedia. I currently live in the United States, and the only country I have ever traveled to has been Israel (four times). I enjoy reading, surfing the web, learning Torah, and sleeping (still going through that teenager "phase").I love to listen to good Jewish music (JM), like Miami Boys Choir, Lev Tahor, and Yehuda. I speak English fluently, and I am comfortable enough in my Hebrew skills to get along, although I still speak it like an American (meaning I have no accent and I still mess up my dikduk). I hope to start learning Yiddish soon. Some of my more knowledgable areas include Orthodox Judaism, Chabad, general Chassidus, most Jewish history since the medieval periods, and most concepts associated with Judaism. So far, some of the pages I have contributed to include:

[edit] Some of my favorite jokes

Aboard an El Al flight from Israel to America, Grandma Esther was taking her very first flight. They had only been aloft a few minutes when the old lady complained to the stewardess that her ears were popping. The girl smiled and gave the older woman some chewing gum, assuring her that many people experienced the same discomfort.
When they landed in New York, Grandma thanked the stewardess. "The chewing gum worked fine," she said, "but tell me, how do I get it out of my ears?"
President Clinton was very curious about how the Jewish people knew everything before he did. So he called the CIA and FBI and asked them to figure it out. A week later they came back and said, "Mr. President, the Jews have something call shabbat (Sabbath), and they meet each other at the synagogue, and there is a code. They sit, they pray, and there is a word that is the key to this secret. It's ... "Nu?" When one says to other, "Nu?," the other tells him everything...every bit of news." This Clinton wanted to see for himself. The secret service dressed him like a Hassid (very religious Jewish sect), and taught him to read from the right to the left in the siddur (Hebrew prayer book). Clinton arrived at a synagogue on shabbat, and sat beside another religious man. He waited for amoment, and said, "Nu?" The man answered... "Shh, Clinton is coming!"
An archaeologist was digging in the Negev Desert in Israel and came upon a casket containing a mummy. After examining it, he called the curator of a prestigious natural history museum. "I've just discovered a 3,000 yearend mummy of a man who died of heart failure!" the excited scientist exclaimed. To which the curator replied, "Bring him in. We'll check it out." A week later, the amazed curator called the archaeologist. "You were right about the mummy's age and cause of death. How in the world did you know?" "Easy. There was a piece of paper in his hand that said, '10,000 Shekels on Goliath'."
