A Match Made in Israel

[phkrause]

They say that in Israel everyone is a potential “shadchan” – a matchmaker. Smadar, a waitress at a local Jerusalem restaurant was no different. One day, she wanted to put her matchmaking skills to the test with one of her regular customers, a man named Itzik. She figured that Shlomit, another customer who seemed to have much in common with Itzik, would be an ideal match.

One day Itzik came into the restaurant when Shlomit was also there. Smadar dragged Itzik over to Shlomit 's table and introduced the two. Then she watched in amazement as Itzik put his arm around the Shlomit and said in his best mock-seductive voice, "Hellooooh, Shlomit ."

"You guys know each other?" Smadar asked.

"We sure do," said Itzik. "She's my sister."
