Son To Israel
A Jewish father was concerned about his son who was about a
year away from his Bar Mitzvah but was sorely lacking in his
knowledge of the Jewish faith.
To remedy this, he sent his son to Israel to experience his
heritage.
A year later the young man returned home.
"Father, thank you for sending me to the land of our
Fathers," the son said. "It was wonderful and enlightening,
however, I must confess that while in Israel I converted to
Christianity."
"Oi vey," replied the father, "what have I done."
So in the tradition of the patriarchs, he went to his best
friend and sought his advice and solace.
"It is amazing that you should come to me," stated his
friend, "I too sent my son to Israel and he returned a
Christian."
So in the tradition of the patriarchs they went to the
Rabbi.
"It is amazing that you should come to me," stated the
Rabbi, "I too sent my son to Israel and he returned a
Christian. What is happening to our sons?"
"Brothers, we must take this to the Lord," said the Rabbi.
They fell to their knees and began to wail and pour out
their hearts to the Almighty. As they prayed the clouds
opened and a mighty voice stated:
"Amazing that you should come to Me. I, too, sent My Son
to Israel...."
