They went to the Rebbe** for a decision.   Avram asked, "Rebbe, is it permitted to smoke while learning Torah***?"   "Certainly not!" Said the Rebbe, outraged.   Yosef then addressed him. "Rebbe, let me ask you this. May we learn Torah while we smoke?"   The Rabbi immediately replied with a warm smile. "Of course!"     ---------------------------------------------------     *A Yeshiva is a Jewish Seminary **A Rebbe is an endearing title for a great, beloved teacher ***Torah is the five book of Moses -- the first five books of the Bible
