Going Postal For Hanukkah

Retired Daily News reporter Frank Dougherty always has a joke or jest to share. He sent this little gem to his Jewish friends around the Hanukkah holiday.

“My neighbor, Ruth Cohen, went to the East Falls post office on Ridge Avenue earlier this week to purchase stamps for her Hanukkah cards.

“‘I need 50 Hanukkah stamps,’ said Ruth.

"’What denomination?’ asked the postal clerk.

“Ruth told me she thought for a second, then said: ‘Give me six Orthodox, 12 Conservative and 32
Reform.’”
