Sam invited Peter, his non-Jewish friend, to play golf with him at his country club. Afterwards, Peter said to him “You know, this is a beautiful club. I’d like to join.” “I’m sorry Peter,” Sam said. “You have to be Jewish to join this club. You see, the non-Jewish clubs don’t let our people in, so it’s that way here too.” “Look, I really want to join this club. I’ve never played on such a magnificent golf course,” Peter said. Sam replied: “Well, if you really want to join, go to the front desk and tell them your name is Goldman. If they ask what you do for a living, tell them that you manufacture talleisim.” Peter went to the front desk and filled out the application. The President of the club greeted him and said: “I see you manufacture talleisim. I always wondered what the writing at the top of the tallis says. Can you tell me?” Peter sighed and replied: “I really don’t know. You see, I just make the sleeves.”
