Amelia Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Moishe Goldstein was kvetching to his friends down at schul: I sent my son, my only son!, to the promised land and what does he do but become a Christian! Oy gevalt! What can I do?! Solly Lipschitz pipes up and says: Don't even tell me about it! The same thing happened to me! I sent my son--my oldest son--to Israel so he should become a rabbi and what does he do, but convert to Christianity! What's a father to do? Let's go talk to Rabbi Smolik. They go to Reb Smolik and tell him their woes, "Reb Smolik, we sent our sons, our beloved sons!, to the holy land to study Talmud and what do they do but become Christians! What can we do?" Reb Smolik also tears his beard and says "Don't even tell me about it! The same thing happened to me. Let's go to Jerusalem ourselves and pray at the Western Wall." So they do. When they get to Jerusalem, they go to the wall and they're pulling their beards and wringing their hands, saying "Oh God, tell as what we can do. We sent our sons to the holy land to become rabbis and what did they do but turn Christian on us!" Just then, the sky darkens and a great wind starts to blow and a booming voice comes down from heaven. It says, "Don't even tell me about it!"
