The Rabbi

There once was a jewish religious student who heard about a rabbi living alone in the desert who was so wise that he could teach a student the meaning of the Torah while the student was standing on one leg. One day, curiousity got the better of him so he decided to look for this rabbi.

After a long and difficult journey, the student found the rabbi in a cave with his camel beside him. "Are you the wise rabbi who can teach me the meaning of the Torah while I am standing on one leg?", the student asked.

"I sure am", answered the rabbi.

"Well can you teach me?", the student asked.

"Sure", the rabbi answered, "stand on one leg."

The student did as instructed. "Well?" he asked.

"Ready?" asked the rabbi.

"Yes!" the student answered, wishing the rabbi would get on with it while trying to keep himself balanced.

"Okay here goes." said the wise rabbi as he clears his throat, "the meaning of the Torah is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your might. The rest of it is commentary go read it yourself."

After saying that, the rabbi mounted his camel and left the cave.

The End :)
