Rabbi Ben Simmons was fed up with his congregation. So, he decided to skip the services on Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, and instead go play golf.
Moses was looking down from heaven and saw the rabbi on the golf course. He naturally reported it to God. Moses suggested God punish the rabbi severely.
As he watched, Moses saw the rabbi Ben Simmons playing the best game he had ever played. The rabbi got a hole-in-one on the toughest hole on the course and then again on the next hole.
Moses turned to God and asked, ‘I thought you were going to punish him. Do you call this punishment?’
God replied, ‘He is all alone, so who can he tell?’
Although my father’s side of the family is Jewish, I was brought up Christian (Presbyterian actually.) So my understanding of Yom Kippur isn’t from first hand experience.
I hope I got it right. More than that, I hope this comic is funny!

Bold choice! Casting Dean Jones and Sandra Dee in a Yom Kippur joke.

Did you hear that Yom Kipur is now available in a canister? It’s a toner cartridge.

His Jewish date explains the essence of Yom Kippur. Then silently, whispers so…he senses a successful evening forth coming.
