A Jewish businessman in Chicago sent his son to Israel for a year to absorb the culture.
When the son returned, he said, “Papa, I had a great time in Israel . By the way, I converted to Christianity.”
“Oy vey,” said the father. “What have I done?” He took his problem to his best friend, Ira.
“Ira,” he said, “I sent my son to Israel , and he came home a Christian. What can I do?”
“Funny you should ask,” said Ira. “I too, sent my son to Israel , and he also came home a Christian. Perhaps we should go see the rabbi.”
So they did, and they explained their problem to the rabbi.
“Funny you should ask,” said the rabbi. “I, too, sent my son to Israel , and he also came home a Christian. What is happening to our young people?”
And so they all prayed, telling the Lord about their sons.
As they finished their prayer, a voice came from the Heavens: “Funny you should ask,” said the Voice… “I, too, sent My Son to Israel . . ”

Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute...
Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth.

true, but it was a cute story...the kind that the old-time priest toastmasters used to use at Church banquets. I am sure that all of us over fifty remember such a priest from our youth, be we Greeks, Ukrainians or whatever....brings back memories... Priest, minister and rabbi jokes were common as well... |

Zionists. Good one... So true! What can I say? 9/11 made me very interested in their doings around the world... The only other topic which has ever interested me so - is Orthodoxy.

Well there's nowhere safer to tell Jewish jokes than on an Orthodox Christian forum!  EDIT--Just to clarify, that wasn't a shot at the joke in the original post, which I thought was funny/clever. |

Well there's nowhere safer to tell Jewish jokes than on an Orthodox Christian forum! Well, as far as I'm concerned... the OP is not a 'Jewish' joke (and it's definitely not a "Jew joke"). It's a Christian joke.

A Jewish Phenomenon... Jewish ...Israel ... Israel... oy vey... Israel... Israel... rabbi... rabbi... rabbi... Israel... Israel... Yeah, where did I get the idea that it was a jewish Joke? Good point! I dunno... I just copied it the way I received it. But I didn't consider it a 'Jewish joke'. It's not like I wrote it myself. If I had've, it probably would've went a little more like this: ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ A Wondrous Phenemenon A Pharisaic businessman in Chicago sent his son to occupied Palestine for a year to absorb the culture.
When the son returned, he said, “Papa, I had a great time in Palestine. By the way after I was robbed in Tel Aviv, I ended up staying with a Palestinian family... and I converted to Orthodox Christianity!”
“Oy vey,” said the father. “What have I done?” He took his problem to his best friend, Ira.
“Ira,” he said, “I sent my son to Palestine to move into one of the hunderds of illegal settlements on Arab land, and he came home an Orthodox Christian!! A Minim!! What can I do?”
“Funny you should ask,” said Ira. “I too, sent my son to a settlement , and he also came home an Orthodox Christian. Perhaps we should go see the rabbi.”
So they did, and they explained their problem to the rabbi.
“Funny you should ask,” said the rabbi. “I, too, sent my son to live in a settlement , and he also came home an Orthodox Christian. Russian Orthodox no less!! What is happening to our young people?”
And so they all prayed, telling the Lord about their sons.
As they finished their prayer, a voice came from the Heavens: “I thought I told you guys,” said the Voice… “You'll have to talk to My Son.”~~~ ~~~ ~~~
What can I say? 9/11 made me very interested in their doings around the world...
