At the regular Saturday morning service, the rabbi announced that he
was planning to leave for a larger congregation that would pay him more.
There is a hush within the congregation. No one wants him to leave
because he is so popular.
Fred Silverstein, who owns several car dealership, stands up and
proclaims, "If the rabbi stays, I will provide him with a new car every
year and his wife with a people carrier to transport their children!"
The congregation sighs in appreciation and applauds.
Saul Cohen, a successful businessman and lawyer, stands and says, "If
the rabbi will stay on here, I'll personally double his salary and
establish a foundation to guarantee a free college education for his
children!"
More sighs and loud applause.
Estelle Rubin, age 58, stands and announces with a smile, "If the
rabbi stays, I will give him sex!"
There is total silence.
The rabbi, blushing, asks her: "Mrs. Rubin, you're a wonderful and
holy lady. Whatever possessed you to say that?"
Estelle's husband, Abe, is now trying to hide, holding his forehead
with the palm of his hand and shaking his head from side to side,
while his wife replies:
"Well, I just asked my Abe how we could help, and he said, "F*ck him."
