The Yom Kippur service was coming to an end. In the ladies gallery, Esther, an elderly widow, just couldn't take her eyes off the young, good looking chazzan who was blowing the shofar to signify the arrival of another new year, She had been obsessed with him for some time and believed she was in love with him.
When the service ended, the chazzan took off his tallit and turned round to talk to one of the congregation. This was her chance. Esther immediately grabbed his tallit and walked away with it - but the Rabbi had seen her. He went over to her and said, "Esther, why don't you give back the tallit you just took?"
"What tallit?" said Esther.
"The one I just saw you take from our chazzan and hide under your dress, that's what tallit," answered the Rabbi.
Esther could deny it no longer. As she raised her dress to remove the tallit, which was tucked into her pantyhose, and because she was so nervous being caught out by the Rabbi, she couldn't control herself and let out a loud flatulence.
The Rabbi responded, "And when you've removed the tallit, could you please also give back the shofar."
