Recently, Rabbi Jacobawitz, the chief rabbi of England, was knighted by
the Queen. As part of the knighting ceremony, Rabbi Jacobawitz had to
kneel before the Queen, and as we all know Jews do not bow before
anyone except Hashem.
On top of that, he was told to recite a paragraph from the Christian
liturgy during the actual knighting.
The Rabbi was in a quandary, as this was being televised, but he could
NOT violate the Jewish laws.
The five honorees were lined up waiting for the Queen to receive them.
As her royal highness entered the room all kneeled, except for Rabbi
Jacobawitz.
The Queen noticed this, but diplomatically ignored it. Then, the Queen
began knighting each person. When she came to Rabbi Jacobawitz, who
still wasn't kneeling, she looked at him expectantly. Realizing she was
waiting for the Latin recitation, he began to sweat and shake with
nervousness.
Then, in a fit of utter desperation, he said the first thing that came
to mind: "Ma nish tana halilah hazeh!"
The Queen, perplexed, turned to Prince Charles and asked, "Why is this
knight different from all other knights?"
