My mom sends me at least one joke or story a day. This next one is one of 
the
funnier she's sent. Thought you'd all like this:

  "A Dog In The Synagogue"

  It's Erev Rosh HaShanah, and services
  are about to begin. The synagogue is packed.
  As the congregants are milling around,
  shmoozing before services, everyone
  seems to be distracted by a man who has
  brought with him a St. Bernard dog. "What
  chutzpah!" an elderly woman whispers
  aloud.

  Services begin, and everyone is fascinated
  by how well the dog behaves.

  The next morning, the man and his dog arrive
  early and promptly begin dovening. This
  time, the dog is wearing its own little tallis and
  yarmulke, and even appears, upon closer
  inspection, to be shuckling back and forth
  as the hazzan intones the prayers. The
  congregation is amazed.

  The week goes by and Kol Nidre arrives. The
  solemn worship service begins  The man
  and his dog are back, and this time, just as
  the hazzan is about to begin the prayers,
  the dog stands up on its hind legs and howls
  "Ba-ROOOOOOOCH....!" more
  melodically than the best hazzan.

  After the service, everyone is clamoring to
  meet this man and his remarkable dog.
  Finally the rabbi comes up to him and says,
  "That's one talented pooch you have there.
  You know, you should really consider
  sending your dog to Rabbinical school."

  The man looks down, shakes his head,
  throws up his hands in disgust and says,
  "YOU TALK TO HIM! He wants to be a doctor!"
