Two Jewish men, Moses and Jacob, are talking to one other. Moses says to
Jacob: “Jacob, you won’t believe this. I send my son to Israel to study. And he
comes back a Christian!”

Jacob replies, “Moses, Moses! I can’t believe you are telling me this! Not one
year ago, I send my son to the Holy Land to study…and he too comes back a
Christian! What shall we do?”

The two men decide to ask their beloved Rabbi. “Rabbi, Rabbi! We send our sons
to Israel–the Holy Land–to study. And they come back Christian! We don’t know
what to do. Can you help us?”

The Rabbi responds, “My sons, I cannot believe you are telling me this! Not
five years ago, I send MY son to the Holy Land to study. And HE comes back a
Christian! I mean, I’m a Rabbi, how do you think I feel? It’s so embarrassing.”

With no other alternative, the three men turn to God. Moses, Jacob, and the
Rabbi go outside. They each light a candle, and join hands in prayer.

The Rabbi speaks: “God, we come to you for help. We send our sons to the Holy
Land to study; to become learned men and do your work. And they come back
Christians! We do not know what to do.”

Suddenly, a gust of wind comes and blows out the candles. The sky darkens, and
the clouds open up to the heavens. A big, booming voice echoes down upon the
three men……”I can’t believe you are telling me this, the same thing happened
to ME!”
