Hareidi Humor

Here's an example of Hareidi humor, or rather, satire. It's directed at the Jerusalem municipality's "failure" to provide for properly observant-standard vacation activities.

It's styled as a funeral notice:-

And it reads:

Blessed Be The Judge of Truth

In shock, we announce the going away of our sons, brothers, grandsons, students, who expired in a tragic fashion when caught up in the snares that the municipality provided when they went out to spend the vacation days of the month of Ellul while standing at the crossroads, climbing every available tree, sanctifying themselves in salty water and primming themselves in sweet water, joyfully going to stuff themselves with smoked meat and sinking their flesh in streams and rivers, until the sun tanned them well and their friends could not recognize them, G-d save us.
