This joke was told to me by a painter called Robert Lenkiewicz\u00a0when I was fourteen, and he explained how the Hassidic Movement tried to impart knowledge and wisdom through the use of humour.<\/p>\n
“The couple were arguing in street and their Rabbi who was passing with one of his students, came over and asked them what the argument was about. As they both started to tell him at once he stopped them and took the man to one side and asked him to tell him what the argument was about. The man told the Rabbi and the student how he felt and the Rabbi listened and then said,<\/p>\n
“You know something, you’re right.”<\/p>\n
The man was delighted and walked off down the road with a light step, and the Rabbi and his student walked over to the wife and the Rabbi asked her to tell him what she was arguing about. So the wife put her point of view forcefully to them and the Rabbi listened and then smiled and said,<\/p>\n
“You know something, you’re right.”<\/p>\n
The woman was pleased and she walked off feeling vindicated and the student looked at his Rabbi and said,<\/p>\n
“Rev, I heard both arguments and one was definitely right and the other wrong but you said both were right!” \u00a0The Rabbi looked at his student and nodded and \u00a0said,<\/p>\n
“You know something . . .”<\/p>\n
