As retold by Bruce Lowitt

Klein, a tourist in Israel, attends a recital and concert at the Moscovitz Auditorium and is very impressed by the architecture and acoustics.

He asks the tour guide, "Is this magnificent auditorium named after Chaim Moscovitz, the famous Talmudic scholar?"

"No. It's named after Morris Moscovitz, the writer."

"Never heard of him," Klein says. "What did he write?"

"A check."
