This One Made Me Smile

(From another Synagogue's TEMPLE BULLETIN)

Avoid riding in autos because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents.

Get out of the house because 17% of all accidents occur in the home (that's 37% already)

Avoid walking because 14% of all accidents involve pedestrians. (now we're up to 51%)

Avoid traveling by air, trains or buses. 16% of all accidents involve these forms of transportation. (that's 67%)

Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in hospitals. Above all, avoid hospitals.

You will be pleased to note that only 1% of all deaths occur in a synagogue, and these are usually related to some previous health condition.

Therefore, logic tells us the safest place to be at any given point of time is in a synagogue.

Torah study is even safer. The number of deaths during Torah study is too small to register.

So, for safety sake, go to shul as often as possible, and attend Torah study. it could save your life.

(And you might even get some cake and a lollypop, as well!)

HAVE A GREAT AND SAFE REST OF THE SUMMER AND DON'T FORGET TO STOP BY THE TEMPLE!
