Praying for Nothing

Day Of Humility

During Yom Kippur services the rabbi raises his arms to the heavens and cries out, “Oh God, before you I am nothing!”

The cantor, upon seeing this, beats his chest and shouts, “Oh God, before you I am nothing!”

Inspired by this display, an ordinary Jew at the back of the room stands and proclaims, “Oh God, before you I am nothing!”

The rabbi turns to the cantor and says scornfully, “Hmph. Look who thinks he’s nothing!”
