Three rabbis were talking over a regular Sunday morning breakfast
get-together. Rabbi Ginsberg says, "We have such a problem with mice at
our schul. The shammos sets all kinds of baited traps but they keep
coming back. Do either of you learned men know how I can get rid of
these vermin?"
The second rabbi, Rabbi Cohen, replied, "We have the same problem at
our synagogue, we've spent all kinds of gelt on exterminators but the
problem still persists. Any suggestions?"
The third rabbi, Rabbi Slosberg, looked at Rabbi Ginsberg and Rabbi
Cohen and told the following story: "Rabbis, we had the same problem
with mice at our synagogue. We tried traps, exterminators, even
prayers; but nothing worked. Then one Shabbos after services were over
a brilliant idea came into my mind. The next Shabbos I went to the
synagogue about an hour before services started. I brought a big wheel
of yellow cheese and placed it in the center of the bima. Well, soon,
hundreds of mice appeared on the bima and headed for the cheese. While
they were feasting on the cheese, I bar-mitzvahed all of them. I have
never seen any of them in schul again!"
