This year I decided to try something new and went to large groups to spend sabbath. As many of you out there may know, this is a great source for jokes...
Rabbi Yoseph is distressed by his son's occupation with the music of Marilyn Manson and disregard for his religion. So, in a desperate act, he sends his son off to Israel for the summer. Months go by, and finally Yoseph's son returns, but to his surprise is an ardent born-again Christian.
Frustrated, Rabbi Yoseph goes to Rabbi Steletsky's home. He sits down with Rabbi Steletsky, and tells him about sending his son to the holy land, and then having him come back a Christian. Rabbi Steletsky is very surprised, and says that "You know, the same thing happened to me. I sent my son to the land of his ancestors and he too returned a Christian."
Frustrated, and without answers both Rabbis then prayed to god to answer their questions. Finally, a bright light appears an an voice floats down from the Heavens.
"What has troubled my loyal servants so?"
"Well," say the Rabbis, "We send our sons to the holy land to be educated in the ways of our people, but they have both come back as Christians, why lord, why?"
God pauses for a moment, and finally anwers:
"You know, the same thing happened to me..."
