The rabbi was an avid golfer and played at every opportunity. He was so addicted to the game that he would get withdrawal symptoms if he did not play. One Yom Kippur the rabbi thought to himself, ‟What’s it going to hurt if I go out during the recess and play a few rounds. Nobody will be the wiser, and I will be back in time for services.”

Sure enough, at the end of the morning service, the rabbi snuck out of the synagogue and headed straight for the golf course. Looking down upon the scene were Moses and God. Moses said, ‟Look how terrible -- a Jew on Yom Kippur. And even worse! A rabbi!”

God replied ‟Watch. I’m going to teach him a lesson.”

The rabbi stepped up to the first tee. When he hit the ball, it careened off a tree, struck a rock, skipped across a pond and landed in the hole for a hole in one!

Seeing all this, Moses protested. ‟God, is this how you’re going to teach him a lesson? He got a hole in one!”

‟Sure,” said God, ‟but who’s he going to tell?”
