Shlomo, a pious Jew and a golf addict, awoke early one crisp, cool morning. It was a perfect day for a round of golf but it also happened to be Yom Kippur. After a great struggle with his conscience, he decided that he could squeeze in just a few quick holes before going to services. He lived close to the course and he got there soon after it opened. Taking his clubs out of his locker, he headed for the first tee. Moses happened to be looking down from heaven and saw Shlomo on the golf course. Disturbed, he reported it to God, suggesting that God teach him a lesson that he would never forget. God agreed. Shlomo played the first hole and shot a birdie; on the second hole he shot an eagle, and then on the third hole, the toughest par four on the course, he got a hole-in-one! Moses turned to God and asked, “I thought you were going to teach Shlomo a lesson. This is a lesson?” God replied, “Think about it -- now who can he tell?” *Wishing you an easy, but meaningful fast this Yom Kippur*
