A boy asked his parents for a Kawasaki for his bar mitzvah.  The problem was that they did not know what a Kawasaki was or where to find it.  Still, they were determined to fulfill their son’s desire.  They went to the Orthodox rabbi for his approval.

When they got to the rabbi, they asked him what a Kawasaki was and where they could find one.  The rabbi didn’t know, but he suggested the Conservative rabbi.  The parents again asked the question.  This rabbi replied, “I do know what a Kawasaki is, but it is way too dangerous.  I would turn to the Reform rabbi for this one.”

Then they went to the Reform rabbi and asked the same question.  The rabbi replied, “Oh!  That’s a great present.  Sure, I have magazines and articles about motorcycles.  But, I have one question… What’s a Bar Mitzvah?”
