Home, Sweet Home A jew felt the death is close and asked his sons to take him to the Holy Land, to die there and be buried in Jerusalem. The loving sons did as he asked, brought him to Jerusalem, put him in a hospital and waited for death to come. However, once in Jerusalem the old man felt better and better and in some weeks was again strong, healthy and full of life. He called upon his sons and told them: " Take me quickly back to the United States." The sons were somehow disappointed and asked: "Father how come? You said you want to die in the Holy Land and be buried in Jerusalem!' "Yes," answered the father, to die it's OK but to live here....!?"
