He entrusted his new assistant Rabbi with filling the pulpit. When Rabbi Adler returned, he asked his wife what she thought of the young Rabbi’s sermon. "Oy, it was one of the worst I've ever heard," she said. "There was nothing in it, nothing at all. It didn't even make sense. It was very disorganized. I think the entire congregation was disappointed, I know I was." Later that day, Rabbi Adler met his young assistant Rabbi and asked him, "How did the Shabbat service and the sermon go? Did all go well? How did you manage?" "All went very well, Rabbi, absolutely wonderful," he said. "I didn't have time to prepare a new sermon of my own on such short notice, so I hope it’s OK, but I just got on your computer and pulled up one of your old sermons from last year." Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
