I can't believe you are telling me this

Two Jewish men, Moses and Jacob, are talking to one other. Moses says to
Jacob: "Jacob, you won't believe this. I send my son to Israel to study. And he
comes back a Christian!"

Jacob replies, "Moses, Moses! I can't believe you are telling me this! Not one
year ago, I send my son to the Holy Land to study...and he too comes back a
Christian! What shall we do?"

The two men decide to ask their beloved Rabbi. "Rabbi, Rabbi! We send our sons
to Israel--the Holy Land--to study. And they come back Christian! We don't know
what to do. Can you help us?"

Christian! I mean, I'm a Rabbi, how do you think I feel? It's so embarrassing."

With no other alternative, the three men turn to God. Moses, Jacob, and the
Rabbi go outside. They each light a candle, and join hands in prayer.

The Rabbi speaks: "God, we come to you for help. We send our sons to the Holy
Land to study; to become learned men and do your work. And they come back
Christians! We do not know what to do."

Suddenly, a gust of wind comes and blows out the candles. The sky darkens, and
the clouds open up to the heavens. A big, booming voice echoes down upon the
three men......"I can't believe you are telling me this, the same thing happened
to ME!"
