Friendly Religion



Very humorous.  I found this poem scribbled onto the dust jacket of a Steinsaltz gemara in a used bookstore in Jerusalem yesterday. 

Had to copy it down.

Friendly Religion

I asked an old friend his religion one day.
"Why, Anti-semitic," he said.


I asked which denomination he was.
"Protestant," the reply, "and well bred."

"Are Catholics anti-semitic?" I dared.
"Oh yes," he assured me, "quite so.

But not in the same quite modernly way,
You see, by a Pope they are led,

While we, on the other hand,
Search for new ways

To see that the Jews end up dead."

Is that brlliant?
