At the regular Saturday morning service, the rabbi announced that he was
planning to leave for a larger congregation that would pay him more. There was a hush within the congregation. No one wanted him to leave because he is
so popular.
Fred Shapiro, who owns several car dealerships in Venice and Sarasota, stands up and proclaims, "If the rabbi stays, I will provide him with a new Cadillac every year and his wife with a Honda mini-van to transport their children!"
The congregation sighs in appreciation and applauds.
Saul Cohen, a successful businessman and lawyer, stands and says, "If the rabbi will stay on here, I'll personally double his salary and establish a foundation to guarantee a free college education for his children.
More sighs and loud applause.
Estelle Rubin, age 88, stands and announces with a smile, "If the rabbi stays, I will give him sex!"
There is total silence.
The rabbi, blushing, gasps, "Mrs. Rubin, you're a wonderful and holy lady. Whatever possessed you to say that?"
Estelle's 90-year old husband, Abe, now trying to hide, holds his forehead in his hands while shaking his head from side to side… as his wife replies, "Well, I just asked my husband how we could help, and he said, ‘**** him.’"
