There was a wealthy Jewish lawyer who had only one son, but loved him dearly and took great pains to raise him right. As the time approached for his bar mitzvah, he went to great lengths to prepare a huge party to honor him. Only 2 days before the big event however, when he went to tell his son to keep the day free for a "small" party in his honor, the son replied, "Funny you should mention that, Dad. I actually just converted to Christianity and was trying to decide how to tell you."
"Rabbi," he said. "You know how much I love my son. I've raised him right and been preparing for weeks for his bar mitzvah. With only two days left, however, he's disgraced his family and become a Christian. What do I do?"
The Rabbi replied, "Funny you should mention that. I too had a son whom I loved. I raised him right and prepared a fitting bar mitzvah for such a good son. Like your's, he converted to Christianity. I didn't know what to do or who to turn to, so I asked God."
"And what did He say?" the lawyer asked.
"Well," he answered. "He said 'Funny you should mention that...'"
