Some time in 19th Century in a city in Austria there were a Catholic priest, a Protestant Pastor and a Rabbi. They were friends, no problems with inter-congration relations, and each Wednesday they met in a local bar to drink some beer. Once they started discussing their respective religion, and having had too much beer, they decide to experimentally decide which religion is the best. There was a forest nearby, with many bears around, so the priests had to go there and try to convert a bear to their respective faith. First, the Catholic went. Next Wednesday, his friends were waiting him in the bar, and the priest came, very proud of himself. He told the story: well, I met a bear, he became very angry with me, I tried to eun away, but the bear was to fast. In despair, I climbed a tree, but the bear followed. Hopeless, I started to pray aloud. And, oh miracle, the bear heard my prayers, converted. So, now he is going to visit my chirch and study Cathehisis. Great, decided other priests.
Next week this was the Protestant turn. Wednesday he appeared, very proud, and told his story. Again, the bear was andry, the priest tried to run away, and, when running, had to cross a shallow river. And the bear followed, became baptized, so, he will go to the summer school to improve his faith.
The last was the Rabbi. In vain wre his friends waiting for him next Wednesday, and the next, and the next. Only a month later did the Rabbi appear. He was badly beaten, all in bandages and plasters. The friends inquired what happened.
Well, said the Rabbi. I decided to start with Circumcision
