Only Child Syndrome

After school one day, Moishie Rothman, a rambunctious first-grade boy was sitting at the kitchen table, eating his afternoon snack, when he blurted out, "Mom, my teacher was asking me today if I have any brothers or sisters who will be coming to school."

Moishie’s mother replied, "That's nice of her to take such an interest. What did she say when you told her that you don’t have any brothers or sisters yet?"

She just said, "Baruch Hashem!"

"Baruch HaShem" is a Jewish phrase, literally meaning "Bless the Name". However, this is just like saying "Thank God!" in English, and is used just as often. The Hebrew word "Baruch" means "bless", and originates from the word "Bracha" (blessing). A Jew will usually use this phrase if something good happens, for example: "Baruch HaShem that he did not get hurt in that car accident."
