A trip to Israel

A Jewish businessman in Chicago sent his son to Israel for a year to
absorb the culture. When the son returned, he said, "Papa, I had a
great time in Israel. By the way, I converted to Christianity.""

Oy vey," said the father. "What have I done?"

He took his problem to his best friend. "Ike," he said, "I sent my
son to Israel, and he came home a Christian. What can I do?" "Funny
you should ask," said Ike. "I too, sent my son to Israel, and he also
came home a Christian." Perhaps we should go see the rabbi. So they
did, and they explained their problem to the rabbi.

"Funny you should ask," said the rabbi.. "I, too, sent my son to
Israel, and he also came home a Christian. What is happening to our
young people?"

And so they all prayed, telling the Lord about their sons. As they
finished their prayer, a voice came from the heavens:...........

"Funny you should ask," said the voice. "I, too, sent my son to
Israel.............................."
