Jewish Heritage


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." 

"Oi 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 their 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..."
