A young boy went to a Yeshiva school. During school he started goofing around. So the teacher called him out and sent him to the Rabbi's Office. Since this was a traditional school the boy would be spanked. But the Rabbi believed in giving people a chance. He said,"If you can ask me a question about something you learned and I don't know the answer on the spot you will go free. The boy may have been lazy, but he was very witty. He asked,"What is it that you can see and I can see, usually everyday, but God cannot see." The Rabbi stood there, stumped. He couldn't figure it out because he strongly believed that G-d sees and knows all, and that there is only one G-d.The boy smiled and told him.

What was it?







Hint:
You can't see what isn't there.

His own "=" ! We see our equals everyday, but since there is one God, he cannot see someone equal to himself. :tongue10:

G-D has no physical eyes. So He can't really see.
