Thracian Posted 27 June 2005 Posted 27 June 2005 Prospective Rabbi went for a tour of the synagogue before taking up his new duties and, at the end, the retiring Rabbi asked him if he had any questions. "Well, came the answer, a little reluctantly. I've always wanted to know... When you circumcise the young boys, what do you do with the foreskins?." 'Not a problem, said the Rabbi. I know a chap in a shop by the market place who happens to be pretty good at tooling leather. 'So, I save all the skins in a jar and, when I've got enough, take em to him and he makes a little something for me as a keepsake.' Relieved, the new Rabbi took over and when he had saved enough foreskins he sought out the tanner and enquired if he would continue the old tradition and make a little something for him. "No problem," came the delighted reply. Pleased to oblige. Come back in a couple of weeks and I'll have something for you." Two weeks later the new Rabbi returned and was delighted to be handed a beatifully hand-tooled wallet. "Absolutely delightful," he uttered "I shall treasure it." "And how much do I owe you for the trouble?." '£40 should cover it,' said the craftsman. Noticing the Rabbi looked a bit put out he asked "What's the matter? Aren't you pleased with what I made?" "It's not that," said the Rabbi, "I am pleased. It's just that it seems a bit expensive for a wallet." Oh its no ordinary wallet, came the reply. "When you rub it it turns into a suitcase!".
