Overheard at JCDS in the halls this morning

[rhu]

Teacher to School Rabbi: We have a coverage problem in fourth grade; can you come and lead tefillot [prayers]?

Rabbi: I'm on my way to lead tefillot for the middle school. You can't rob Peter to pay Paul.

What would the Jewish version of that idiom be?

I can't think of one offhand.

I don't think we have one. I may propose one, though:

You can't withhold tzedakah from CJP to donate to the JNF.

(ETA more appropriate icon)

Ah, intentional pluralism. ;-)

I thought Peter and Paul were both good jewish boys. :-)

Simon and Saul, I think.

That's a whole nicer than the time (when I was a lad) that the Jr Rabbi hollered down the long echoing hallway "Jesus Fucking Christ" in a very angry tone.

He didn't keep that job very long...
