Arthur Miller takes his new wife Marilyn Monroe to his mother’s apartment for her first seder. On the way home, Miller asks Marilyn if she enjoyed it. “Darling, I loved it all,” she says, “all your family together, the ritual, the prayers, the food—especially the food.” “I’m delighted,” says Miller, “but tell me, sweetheart, what dish did you like best?” “I loved your mother’s chicken soup,” Marilyn says. “So clear, so golden, so flavorful.” “And the matzo balls?” he asks. “What did you think of my mother’s matzo balls?” “Oh, Arthur, I especially loved those matzo balls. How ever did your mother get them to be so light, so perfectly round, so tasty? They were absolutely scrumptious.” “My mother will be pleased to hear it,” Miller says. “In fact, I’ll write your mother a note tomorrow about her fabulous matzo balls. I just loved those matzo balls to death. But tell me, Arthur, what do you Jews do with the rest of the matzo?”
