Daily Joke<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>A businessman rushed into the office of his rabbi and complained loudly about his troubles. \u201cI am stone broke,\u201d he cried. \u201cMy creditors call day and night demanding money. My wife says she\u2019ll divorce me if I don\u2019t straighten out my financial problems and my daughter say she wants me to give her a $100,000 wedding. What can I do? What can I do?\u201d The rabbi said, \u201cCalm yourself. I have good advice for you. What I want you to do is go home, place the Torah a table. Sit down in front of the Good Book, close your eyes\u00a0 and open the Torah\u00a0 at random at any page. Then take your finger and point to any place on that page, keeping your eyes closed. When you open your eyes you will find the answer to your problems under your finger.\u201d The fellow thought the rabbi was totally confused and ridiculous. Yet, on his way home he decided to give that advice a try anyway since he had nothing to lose.<\/p>\n

Now the clergyman hadn\u2019t sees this fellow for three months when suddenly he rushed into the rabbi\u2019s office and shouted. \u201cRabbi, good news. I am inviting you to officiate at my daughter\u2019s $100,000 wedding.\u201d The rabbi was astonished. \u201cSo you did what I told you.\u201d \u201cYes I did,\u201d said the businessman. \u201cI put the Torah on the table, closed my eyes, opened at a random page and put my finger on the page. When I opened my eyes, there in front of me was the answer to my financial problems.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cSpeak up!\u201d shouted the rabbi,\u00a0 \u201cTell me, what were the words under your finger?\u201d \u201cChapter eleven,\u201d said the businessman.<\/p>\n
