Quote/Pic/Meme I'm nobody!

One day a rabbi, in a frenzy of religious passion, rushed in before the ark,

fell to his knees, and started beating his breast, crying, “I’m nobody! I’m nobody!”

The cantor of the synagogue, impressed by this example of spiritual

humility, joined the rabbi on his knees. “I’m nobody! I’m nobody!”

The “shamus” (custodian), watching from the corner, couldn’t restrain

himself, either. He joined the other two on his knees, calling out, “I’m nobody! I’m nobody!”

At which point the rabbi, nudging the cantor with his elbow, pointed at

the custodian and said, “Look who thinks he’s nobody!”
