Rabbis Levy, Samuel and Kosiner were “progressive” reform rabbis and were talking one day about the recent advances made by their synagogues. Rabbi Levy said, “We’re very modern — we allow cell phones to be used during services — we even have recharging points all over the synagogue.”
“Well,” said Rabbi Samuel, “we’ve installed a snack bar at the back of the synagogue for those who feel hungry or thirsty during services — we serve falafel in pita and hot salt beef with latkes and new green cucumbers.”
“That’s nothing to what we do, my friends,” said Rabbi Kosiner. “We close our synagogue for the Jewish holidays.”
