Der kleine Unterschied

.. und seine großen Folgen:

An old Jewish man went to the races for the first
time. Not
knowing a thing about horse racing, he went to the
paddock to take a
look. He saw a rabbi blessing one of the horses.
He wrote down the number
and placed a $2 bet.

Sure enough, the horse won, and the man won $20.
He went down to the paddock
again, and again the rabbi was blessing another
horse. He wrote down the
number, bet
his $20, and again, the horse won, earning $100.
This went on, race after
race, until the
old Jewish man had won $5000.

Just before the last race, he watched the rabbi
bless another horse. He bet
the whole
$5000, but this time the horse came in dead last.
He ran down and yelled to
the rabbi,
"Why did every horse you blessed win, except the
last one? He came in dead
last!!!

The rabbi replied, "That´s the problem with you
Reform Jews...you
don´t know the difference between a bracha and a
kaddish."

bracha = segen
kaddish = totengebet
