Nathan goes to shul (synagogue) one shabbes and Rabbi Bloom almost faints when he sees him - Nathan has never stepped foot inside a shul since his barmitzvah. At the end of the Service, Rabbi Bloom goes over to Nathan and says, "I'm very pleased to see you here today, what made you come?"
Nathan replies, "Ill be honest with you, rabbi. I lost my favourite hat about 3 months ago and I really miss it. A friend of mine told me that Kenneth Gold has a hat just like mine. My friend also told me that Gold comes to shul every shabbes, always takes off his hat before Service begins, leaves it in the cloakroom at the back of the shul and replaces it with his yarmulke. So I was going to leave after the Torah reading and steal Gold's hat."
Rabbi Bloom says, "Well Nathan, I notice that you didnt steal Gold's hat after all. Whilst I'm very glad, please tell me why you changed your mind."
"Well rabbi," replies Nathan, "after I heard your sermon on the Ten Commandments, I decided that I didnt need to steal Gold's hat."
Rabbi Bloom smiles and says, "I suppose you decided against it after you heard me talking about Thou Shalt Not Steal?"
"Not exactly, rabbi," replies Nathan. "After you talked about Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery, I remembered where I left my hat."
