In a large Florida city, the Rabbi developed quite
a reputation for impressive sermons, so much
so, that everyone who was Jewish in the
community came every Shabbat.
Unfortunately, one weekend a member had to visit
Long Island for his nephew's bar mitzvah, but he
didn't want to miss the Rabbi's sermon. So he
decided to hire a Shabbat goy to sit in the congregation
and tape the sermon so he could listen to it when
he returned.
Other congregants saw what was going on, and they
also decided to hire Shabbat goys to tape the sermon
so they could play golf instead of going to Shul. Within
a few weeks' time, there were 500 gentiles sitting in
Shul taping the Rabbi.
Eventually, the Rabbi got wise to this. The following
Shabbat he, too, hired a Shabbat goy who brought a
tape recorder to play his prerecorded sermon to the
500 gentiles in the congregation who dutifully recorded
his words on their machines...
...marking the first incidence in history of artificial
insermonation!!!
Thank you for sharing!
