The Rabbi Stays

There is a story about a popular young rabbi, who on Sabbath eve announces to the congregation that he will not renew his contract and is moving on to a larger congregation that will pay him more.

There is a hush. No one wants him to leave.

Epstein, who owns several car dealerships, stands up and announces:

- If the rabbi stays, I'll provide him with a new sedan every year, and his lovely wife with a minivan, to transport their children!

The congregation sighs, and applauds.

Goldstein, the entrepreneur and investor stands and says:

- If the rabbi stays, I'll double his salary, and establish a foundation to guarantee the college education of his children!!

More sighs and applause.

Old Mrs. Goldfarb, aged 96, stands and announces:

- If the rabbi stays, I offer SEX!!

There is a hush. The rabbi, blushing, asks:

- Mrs. Goldfarb, whatever possessed you to say that?

Mrs. Goldfarb answers:

- I just asked Mr. Goldfarb what we could contribute to make the rabbi stay. Mr. Goldfarb said, 'Fuck the rabbi.'
