The new rabbi in the synagogue. He reads the prayer "Shema" and then half of the synagogue gets up. The other half starts shushing them and saying, "Sit down!", and the first one objects to the second: "It's you who stand up!"
The Rebbe finishes in difficulty and goes to the tzaddik the next morning.
He asks:
they say, I do not know what is the correct tradition during the reading of "Shma".
Do Jews need to get up?
— No, there is no such tradition... — the tzaddik answers.
— So the tradition says to sit?
— No, it does not, — the tzaddik answers, — there is no such tradition.
— So why did one half of the synagogue quarrel with the other?!
— But we have such a tradition!
