Stone Cold

[phkrause]

The board at Congregation Beth Jacob decided that the stone which formed the step up to the front door had become too worn by its years of use and would have to be replaced. As a sign of the significant foot traffic of the shul’s members over the years, the stone had a pronounced dip in the middle, well-worn by shul members coming and going.

Unfortunately, there were hardly any funds available for the replacement. Then someone came up with the idea that the replacement could be postponed for many years by simply turning the block of stone over.

Unfortunately, after they employed the bright idea, they discovered that their great-grandparents had beaten them to it.
