Back in December 2009, in one of our first blog posts, we ran an old joke about how an Israeli, desperate for a parking space, tried to bargain with God for one. Today we found a video version of the same situation and thought you'd like to see it as you start the work week, maybe looking for a parking space yourself.
The conversation, which we see as one-way, is in Hebrew, so we'll offer a loose translation of what the driver says to God after opening the sun roof on his car and looking heavenward.
Praying for a parking space, he says "Good morning, our father in heaven. All I want is a parking space. If you give it to me, I will put on tefillin and tzizit, keep kosher, observe Shabbat, and become a baal teshuvah, the whole package." Just then a parking spot becomes available. The Israeli turns to God and says “never mind, I can take care of this myself.”
Enjoy!
