ברכות-ג

A Reform Jew was at the racetrack and noticed a רב with a beard and payos mouthing what appeared to be a ברכה on one of the horses. He put $100 on the horse and it came in first. Thereafter, he kept an eye on the רב and bet on the horses which he blessed, winning each time. He had won thousands of dollars. In the last race, however, the blessed horse came in last. Terribly disappointed, he approached the רב and asked what happened. “That’s the trouble with you Reform Jews,” the רב said. “You don’t know the difference between a ברכה and קדיש.”
