Following the commandment to visit and share their faith with other Jewish people, rabbis in training Aharon Kupfer, left, and Boruch Gancz, both of New York City, visited Marquette this week as part of the outreach required by their religious training. They will also be visiting Mackinac City and Traverse City before returning to school.

Many students in high school or college might consider studying abroad, using that period of travel to explore the world and enhance their educations.

A man was once accused of a serious crime. The evidence was so incriminating that a guilty verdict was all but inevitable. “Your only hope,” advised his lawyer “is to enter a plea of insanity; but you must remember to act crazy in court.”

The man followed his lawyer’s counsel and put on a great act. He made the strangest sounds as he twitched his head and thrashed his hands. So well had he performed, that the case was soon dismissed.

To his utter dismay, when the lawyer came to collect his fee, the man resumed his ridiculous gig; strange motions and all. He soon realized that he had become the butt of his own ploy – his expert advice had come back to bite him.
