Two American Jewish men, David and Samuel, decided to send their sons to Jerusalem to learn about their rich cultural heritage.
They believed that immersing their children in the ancient city would instill a deep appreciation for their faith and traditions.
A year later, David and Samuel met for coffee, eager to share their experiences. Their faces fell as they exchanged stories.
David sighed, “Samuel, I’m so disappointed in my son. I don’t know what to do. Once he returned from Jerusalem, he claimed to have become a Christian!”
Samuel’s eyes widened. “My son too! This is a tragedy. We should seek guidance from our Rabbi. Perhaps he can help us understand what went wrong.”
The two then visit the Rabbi and tell him their stories, to which he replies:
“Unfortunately, I’m in the same boat as you two. I sent my son to Jerusalem a few years ago and he also became christian. Only God can help us now, we should pray to him!!!”
So they start praying:
“Please help us God, we sent our sons to Jerusalem so they could learn about our culture, but instead they returned as christians!!!”
God thinks for a while and says:
“You guys won’t believe, but 2000 years ago I too sent my son to Jerusalem…”
