Somebody Meets Nobody

 A short P.S. to yesterday’s post about what happens when Somebody crosses over to Nobody. 

 

On Yom Kippur, the rabbi stops in the middle of the service, prostrates himself beside the bema, and cries out, "Oh, God. Before You, I am nothing!"

The president of the temple is so moved by this demonstration of piety that he immediately throws himself to the floor beside the rabbi and cries, "Oh, God!  Before you, I am nothing!"

Then a tailor  jumps from his seat, prostrates himself in the aisle and cries, "Oh God! Before You, I am nothing!"

The president nudges the rabbi and whispers, "So look who thinks he's nothing."
