Jewish Sons
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."
"Oy 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 above opened and a Mighty Voice stated,
"Amazing that you should
come to Me. I, too, sent My Son to Israel....."
