The Funniest Rabbis in Cleveland: Rabbi Dan Roberts Reads Synagogue Bulletin Bloopers


Continuing with our series on the Funniest Rabbis, today's standup comedy routine is by Rabbi Dan Roberts, Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Emanu El in the Cleveland suburbs.

Stepping up to the stage, Rabbi Roberts doesn't lose any time and starts his eight and a half minute monologue with a story of the time he was called to perform a wedding in the middle of a flight to Orlando. That serves as the introduction to a series of jokes about weddings and the reading of a collection of synagogue bulletin bloopers.

Examples: 

Rabbi Roberts spoke briefly last Shabbat, much to the delight of his audience.

The ladies of Hadassah have cast off clothing of every kind, and may be seen in the basement on Tuesday.

Join us for Oneg after services. Prayer and medication to follow.

Please join us for our next sermon: "What is Hell?" Come early and listen to our cantor and the choir practice."

Enjoy!
