In one
community, the
synagogue burned down.
In a gesture of interreligious good will, the local Society of Friends offered the Jewish congregation temporary use of their meeting house.
This turned out to be a good fit, since the Quakers didn't hold services on Friday nights or Saturday mornings, and their plain decor did not include crosses.
After a while, some members of the Jewish congregation became curious about Quaker meetings, and started to attend them. Eventually, several of them became Quakers.
Now the rabbi goes around saying, "Some of my best Jews are Friends."
This lame joke was brought to you by the Harvard Divinity School Denominational Slur Handbook. Everythingians are urged to add write-ups with their favorite "some of my best friends are" jokes.
