Jackie Mason was once asked in an interview why he left his job as a rabbi and became a comedian. He explained that it was simple. Being a rabbi doesn't pay well and being a comedian does.
I imagine how many Baalei Teshuva there would be if we could interview Jackie NOW [in the world of truth] and ask him what he thinks of his decision....
Was it worth it to throw everything away for a few minutes of stardom and wealth???
Now, in the ETERNAL WORLD what do you think Jackie???
May Hashem give his neshama a speedy kappara.
