Three Orthodox Jewish girls arrive at the gate, pull out Hebrew prayer books (Siddur) and begin to pray.  Moments later…

Man: Is that a Bible there?

Girl: …No, it’s one of our prayer books.

Man, pulling out Bible: Oh, see, we have the Old Testament and the New Testament.  Do you have those?

Girl: No, that’s not part of our religion.

Man: So Jewish people don’t read the Bible?

Girl: No, that’s not part of our religion.

Man: Do you read the Hebrew translation?  Because the translations are really unreliable.  Each word can have several different meanings.
