Recently I bet a well known poker player (who requested to remain anonymous) that I could walk into Congregation Ner Tamid and lead an entire service posing as a Rabbi. Using my excellent beard and cunning Hebrew skills, I won this bet. Given that until the time the bet was placed, (about a month ago) I had not practiced Judaism at all, nor spoke a word of Hebrew, I believe this to be one of the greatest prop-bet accomplishments ever. Please discuss.

Hey Barry,

For those of us who are not Jewish you might explain what all that entails. I guess the whole service is in Hebrew?

The morning minyan service on saturday is for the most part in Hebrew, with english commentary about moral issues discussed in the Torah.

At first I was going to say, lol posingasarabbiaments, but then the nit in me awoke and I got to thinking that your prop bet may be mocking the congregation's faith. I don't know what to think, but congrats on the 3 million.

You rule Barry!

BTW, I'm guessing the loser of this bet was none other than the worst prop bettor in history, Daniel Negraneu. He wrote a fake blog about Barry becoming a Rabbi some time ago.
