Thomas Friedman tells this story of the Hindu, Muslim and Mystic playing golf in Dubai. The starter approached the threesome and asked if they would mind if a Rabbi played with them. So the foursome went off and the Rabbi shot a 69 and the rest shot in the 90s. When they asked him how did he get so good he said "You have to convert to Judaism." A month later they all reconvened and the scores were the same, even tho they professed to have converted. The Rabbi asked "What synagogue did you get converted at?" They all said it was Temple Beth Shalom. Oh, No, said the Rabbi - that one is for tennis. Game, set and
match!
