At an OU Kashrut conference recently held at Lander College in NY, an OU rabbi was giving a speech on Kashrut certification in China and about Chinese culture in how it relates to doing business with them and certifying food as kosher.

A man in the audience called out the question, "How can you trust the Chinese? They're all a bunch of liars, thieves, and criminals".


Without missing a beat (or so I was told), the OU rabbi answers back, "Then I guess the Chinese have even more in common with the Jews than I previously thought.".

The man shut up, and the rabbi continued his speech.

I wonder if he davens at the Park East Synagogue.
