Won a 3 million dollar prop bet

barryg1 · #1 07-08-2007, 02:05 AM

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.

Assuming that this post isn't itself part of a prop bet about people believing a crazy story.... wow. well done, sir.

In other words, I really hope this is true, because it's frickin' awesome. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

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?
