An Old Jewish Couple

An old Jewish husband and wife went to visit Israel on vacation. They were in Bethlehem and Jerusalem and other big cities. The wife came down with an illness and was unable to be treated and passed away. The man was given two options... To have his wife buried in Israel with a traditional Jewish ceremony for only $450 or to have his wife's body flown back to America to have the ceremony and burial there for around $10,000. The Jewish man answered very quickly, "Have her flown back!" The caretaker was blown away and asked, "Why would you pay all that money when she could be buried here with a traditional Jewish ceremony and everything?" The husband replied, "There was a man buried here a couple thousand years ago and some say he rose from the dead... I can't take that chance."
