This happened just a few years ago I guess. A Jew by the name of Shloame in a small village near here woke up one morning and washed his hands before making something to eat which unfortunately was only a piece of bread and tea. But as he was buttering his piece of bread, it slipped out of his hands and fell onto the floor. The man looked down on the floor and GASPED! It had landed BUTTER SIDE UP!
Shloame couldnt believe his luck. He sat down and stared at this piece of bread all morning stroking his long beard and asking himself, "How can this be? How can ME, a Jew living in 21st century Israel have such extraordinary luck?"
He went outside and told his neighbors who didnt believe him. Soon the entire village was in his kitchen paying witness to this peculiar phenomenom. The entire village was in awe! His neighbor spoke," We must tell Rabbi Yacov!"
The neighbor ran and told the Rabbi and like the others the Rabbi refused to believe this could happen to any Jew living in the 21st century. But the neighbor convinced the Rabbi to come and observe this astonishing event. They approached the mans house and fought past the entire village that was in the mans kitchen...and stood completely DUMBFOUNDED!!
" How could this be?" thought Rabbi Yacov. "How could a Jew living in 21st century Israel have such luck?! " He told the village messenger..."Quick! Go to Jerusalem and tell the Chief Rabbi what you have seen here today! Go NOW! GO!!!
The messenger RAN all the way to the Holy City and told the Chief Rabbi. The Chief Rabbi called the entire Counsil together and said, "My people...WE...have... an ISSUE!"
7 YEARS GO BY!!! The Chief Rabbi and the entire Counsil racked their brains and had FINALLY reached the ONLY LOGICAL conclusion tangible. They told the messenger who had been patiently waiting outside the Temple.
The messenger RAN all the way back to the small little village and found the Rabbi and the villagers still in the mans house. The messenger whispered in the Rabbis ear and the Rabbi nodded saying "yes, Yes, YES!" He turned to Shloame, put his hand on Shloame's shoulder and said "Shloame, SHLOAME! You buttered your bread UPSIDE DOWN!"
Thank you ,thank you! Ill be here all week.
