As retold by
Bruce Lowitt
The rabbi, an avid golfer - more of an addict, actually - played
at every opportunity.
One Yom Kippur, the rabbi thought, "What's it going to hurt if I go out
during the recess and play a few rounds? Nobody will be the wiser."
So he sneaked out after the morning service and headed straight for the golf
course.
Looking down upon the scene were Moses and God.
Moses said, "A Jew playing golf on Yom Kippur. A Rabbi, no less."
And God said, "Watch, I'm going to teach him a lesson."
The rabbi swung and the ball sailed through the fairway, onto the green, and
into the hole for an ace.
And Moses said, "This you call a lesson? A hole-in-one?"
And God said, "Who's he going to tell?"
