Notice that in the parsha report, that g-fish has a wife and mother, but in the quest series, he has no family. And he is looking for them
Hahaha

the best show ever! :) cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u reply on my b-day and why lighting???
No meaning to the Red Cow is it's meaning! Now that might sound paradoxial! However, the Chatam Sofer (Rabbi Moshe Schreiber D.~165 years ago) explains it as follows: Clearly the mitzva of the red Cow is one whose meaning we are not told the Talmud states this clearly. However, the rabbis also say an 'idea' that sheds light on it. They say that it comes to atone for the sin of the Golden Calf. If so, asks the Chatam sofer, is there no meaning or is there? He answers as follows; What was the whole cause of the Golden Calf (like idolatry)? Because they lost lost proper faith in Hashem, (It was really only certain elements - the Egyptians who had converted, and they influenced others. Still this was an issue for everyone, for had everyone been strong, it would not have happened). The Red Cow comes to purify them. The rabbis say 'let the mother come and clean up after it's child (calf)'. He explains; 'let the doing of a mitzvah for which we do not know the reason, atone for a mistake which was done by not thinking about God!
Just to explain two points:
- The Red Heifer must be an adult cow, while the sin of the Goden Calf was a "child", thus, the Red Heifer - mother - comes to clean up after its 'child' - calf.
- Also, coverts are wonderful people, don't get me wrong. The issue with the Egyptians who had converted (called Eruv Rav - lit. large crowd mixed in) was that they were not so sincere - only converted as it was in style, and so their lack of sincerity led to the issue of the Godlden Calf.
Brilliant! I agree with Snonymous of Brooklyn"
funny i loved it when j-fish couldn't say bad stuff about jono
Nice!! I soooooo liked this one it was toatally wasome!!!!!
great!!!! but where is the rabbine?
Wonderful show, it's very funny and educative....my sister and I love it....
G-D BLESS YOU FOR DOING THINGS LIKE THAT WHICH ADULTS AND KIDS ENJOY VERY MUCH...

Hand showing on bottom of Gold Fish
While watching this show with my son,who LOVES this show, I noticed that on this show you can see an arm sticking out of Goldfish.
Keep up the good work,
This was the best one ever! It took me a little while to get the hitting part, but I loved how Jono made the parsha really relevant.
great that was realy cool and fun
COOl I think that the Rabbi should have like 20 seconds of talking instead of 15. I don't think it is right to cut him off. But he has to talk fast but one of the shows he talked slow and got cut off. But also you can not hear the Rabbi good. I hope yall cna change that. But I have alot of things to say, but just can't get them out!! :-)
I love the show. but, why was jono struck by lightning?
Why lightning?
triple power
We (I and my students) love the way you teach the lesson with words, sight gags, and funny but educational happenings. The incident of Moshe Rabbenu striking the rock was told to us ( of course in Jon's own funny way), wackily visually represented on the Week in ReJew computer screen, and then hilariously depicted when Jono became so frustrated with the screen not changing. I always look forward to how you present the lessons with triple power entertaining learning.
Thank you from a teacher who uses your weekly shows in unlimited different ways.
good job This show is realy cool and funny!

Did you know that this show is 3 and a 1/2 minutes long? It's only 3:58.
Sorry, that was a miscalculation; it's only 2:58.
