Today's Joke

One day, Yaakov is in middle of davening when Arthur, the town "grouch," passes by.

"Why in the world are you praying?" asks Arthur. "You're wasting your time."

"What do you mean?" says Yaakov. "I'm praying to Hashem, who has performed wonders and miracles like leading the Jewish people out of Egypt and helping them cross the Red Sea."

Arthur scoffs and says, "Please, you think that really happened? I read that the Red Sea was only about 10 inches deep when the Hebrews left Egypt, so there was no miracle at all!"

Arthur walks towards the bus stop, but looks back and sees Yaakov still davening. He can't resist so he turns back and asks Yaakov, "Why are you still praying? I told you that there were no miracles in Egypt!"

"Oh no," says Jacob, "Hashem is greater than I thought. How miraculous that he was able to drown an army of Egyptians in only 10 inches of water!"

Today’s joke was taken from Aish.com.
