The Perfect Rabbi
The results of a computerized survey indicate the perfect Rabbi preaches
exactly fifteen minutes. He condemns sins but never upsets anyone. He
works from 8:00 AM until midnight and is also a janitor. He makes $50 a
week, wears good clothes, buys good books, drives a good car, and gives
about $50 weekly to the poor. He is 28 years old and has preached 30
years. He has a burning desire to work with teenagers and spends all of
his time with senior citizens. The perfect Rabbi smiles all the time
with a straight face because he has a sense of humor that keeps him
seriously dedicated to his work. He makes 15 calls daily on congregation
families, shut-ins and the hospitalized, and is always in his office
when needed.
If your Rabbi does not measure up, simply send this letter to six other
synagogues that are tired of their Rabbi, too. Then bundle up your Rabbi
and send him to the synagogue on the top of the list. In one week, you
will receive 1,643 Rabbis and one of them will be perfect. Have faith in
this procedure.
One congregation broke the chain and got its old Rabbi back in less than
three weeks.
Your servant,
