Daniel Radcliffe sprung a visit on Japan’s biggest Harry Potter fan, who screeched uncontrollably and touched his face during their meeting, while on a recent visit to promote his box-office smash.

New Rabbi

July13

Several years ago, a rabbi from out-of-state accepted a job from a community in Houston, Texas. Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him an extra quarter change.

As he considered what to do, he thought to himself,  ‘You’d better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.’ Then he thought, ‘Oh, forget it, it’s only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a ‘gift from God’ and keep quiet.’
When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, ‘Here, you gave me too much change.’
The driver, with a smile, replied, ‘Aren’t you the new rabbi  in town?’

‘Yes’ he replied.
‘Well, I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I’ll see you in Shul on Shabbos.’
When the rabbi stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, ‘Oh Rebono Shel Olem, I almost sold a yid for a quarter.’
