Don’t Press Your Luck

Late for an important meeting and unable to find parking Simon Springer pulled into a spot behind Beth Israel Congregation – a large shul downtown. “They won’t mind,” he reasoned. “And it’s just for a couple of hours.”

He was about to leave when he saw the sign in the parking lot that read:

"No parking. We are practicing forgiveness, especially during the High Holiday season, but don’t make it harder than it already is."
