This is from Bob Levi who says, “For some reason, this oldie popped into my head today.”

Did you hear about the synagogue in Philadelphia where an unusual number of the temple members were converting and becoming Quakers? Someone asked the rabbi how he felt about so many of his congregation leaving the Jewish faith for a religion that eschews luxuries and emphasizes simplicity.

The rabbi’s response was rather forthright. “I’m really not concerned,” He said. “Some of my best Jews are Friends.”
