Shaking his head, The Omnipotent One looks at the three."Reform I can understand. But where will it end? You! Goldblum!

Men are weak, but the Word is strong!"Goldblum sighed with relief."Bauman! Really, I can accept My people need to eat. But really, serving Ham & Cheese Sandwiches to the devout at the temple during Yom Kippur?"Bauman hung his head in shame."Even that I can allow to pass, even with the eating of that which is not Kosher.

their evil ways from the public eye. They attended the same temple, and to
everyone else, they appeared to be perfect Jews.
One day, their rabbi retired and a new one was hired. Not only could the new
rabbi see right through the brothers' deceptions, but he also spoke well and
true about it. Due to the rabbi's honesty and integrity, the temple's membership
grew in numbers. Eventually, a fundraising campaign was started to build a much
bigger temple.
All of a sudden, one of the brothers died. The remaining brother sought out the
new rabbi the day before the funeral and handed him a check for the amount
needed to complete the new building. He held the check for the rabbi to see.
"I have only one condition," he said. "At the funeral, you must say my brother
was a mensch. You must say those exact words."
After some thought, the rabbi gave more...

In a small town in India, a person decided to open up his Bar business, which was right opposite to the Temple. The Temple & its congregation started a campaign to block the Bar from opening with petitions and prayed daily against his business.
Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the Bar and it was burnt to the ground.
