Many centuries ago the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to convert or leave Italy.

There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so the Pope offered a deal. He would have a religious debate with the leader of the Jewish community. If the Jews won they could stay in Italy. If they lost they would have to leave.

The Jewish people met and picked an aged but wise Rabbi to represent them in the debate. However, as the Rabbi spoke no Italian and the Pope spoke no Yiddish, they all agreed that it would be a 'silent' debate.

On the chosen day the Pope and the Rabbi sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.

The Rabbi looked back and raised one finger.

Next, the Pope waved his finger round his head.

The Rabbi pointed to the ground where he sat.

The Pope then bought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine.

The Rabbi pulled out an apple.

With that, the Pope pulled declared he was beaten, that the Rabbi was too clever, and the Jews could stay.

Later, the cardinals met with the Pope, asking what had happened.

The Pope said 'First, I held up three fingers to represent the trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there is still only one god common to both our beliefs. Then, I waved my finger to show him that god was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground to show that god was also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us of all our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of original sin. He had me beaten and I could not continue.'

Meanwhile, the Jewish community were gathered around the Rabbi. "How did you win the debate?" They asked.

"I haven't a clue", he replied. "First, he said to me that we had three days to get out of Italy, so I said to him 'Up yours.' Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews, and I said to him we're staying right here."

"And then what?" asked a woman.

"Who knows," said the Rabbi," he pulled out his lunch, so I pulled out mine."
