  “Fascinating story, Shabbetai Tzvi.  He took Qabalah too literally,” said Psi-Qolog.  

  The king conspirator and the false messiah stood before the Beyt Din.  

  “What are your motivations for wanting to join the tribes of Israel?” askèd Kaiaphas.  

  “My Midrashiy?” replièd Psi-Qolog, “bears implications for the future of the Jewish people.”  

  “What kind of teaching is it?” said Mister Cohen.  

  Mister Cohen, Gid, was all over the shop because of the medication he was self-administering.  Continuing, self-administering.  

  “A King is no kind of thing,” said Psi-Qolog.  “Gentlemen, we know that Malach is present wherever we invoke it.”  

  “Nu, how very now that we know who malachah is and that she is present wherever we invoke her,” replièd Gid.  

  There was a pause for a second whilst Psi-Qolog clearèd his throat.  He continuèd.  

  “The work of my predecessor, Immanuel Velikovsky, clearly shows that the people Israel belong together, the north and the south to be united, and rule a nation-state as successfully as Ha'Mashiac Daviyd.  Keeping two houses united as the kingdom.  This fair Isle, old Albion, represents the United Kingdom.  There's a reason why the British Army sing Jerusalem as their marching anthem.  They know what they're leaving behind.  William Blake, too, the great poet and visionary mystic, affirms to us through his words that this is the Israel where Ma'shiach resides.”  

  ° ° ° Nu? ° ° ° they wonderèd.  

  {collectively}  

  “Nu?  How now,” wonderèd Kaiaphas.  

  {his head coverèd}  

  “The Final Solution to the Jewish Question is a fundamental numerological Christian problem.  Absolutely all of them,” said Psi-Qolog.  “The United States of America represent a Danian tribal consecration supporting the tribes of Benjamin and Yehoudah.  I don't need to humour you gentlemen about the lobby for the reconstruction of the Third Temple, do I?”  

  “We're a Reform congregation.  We don't believe in it,” said Mister Cohen.  

  {uncovering his head}  

  “Our understanding of a Hebrew transmission accords to all classes of tribe definition,” replièd Psi-Qolog.  “History has misled us.  History has scattered us.  Persecution has displaced us but most of all the diaspora has gathered us in strategic locations around the world.  The red, the white, the blue, between me and you, nu nu, stand for the lost tribes' Two House theology.  Surely, it is the conclusion of an entire history.  The beginning of an end.  B'reyshiyt ha'sof hayah m'dabeyr.  In a manner of speaking.  We have to invest in this idea.  We have to rewrite the history of the Israelites.”  

  Kaiaphas seemed to agree.  Kaiaphas thought about Shabbetai Tzvi.  

  “Fascinating story, Shabbetai Tzvi.  He took it upon himself personally,” he said.  

  “Fascinating story, Shabbetai Tzvi,” replièd Psi-Qolog.  “He went on Hajj for the dowry.”  

  The small Quorum burst into laughter.  

  ° ° ° But we do agree, he was the messiah ° ° ° again they did wonder.  

  The small messianic meeting ended, without any hysteria.
