Go, Speed Rabbi, Go! Rabbis are nothing if not fun-loving, right? At least that is the case for Rabbi Pini Dunner, who took part in a contest for British TV show "Top Gear" to find the fastest preacher on four wheels. The Saatchi synagogue minister climbed into the driver’s seat after discovering that more than 100 vicars had taken up the challenge, but that no Jewish leaders had come forward to prove they were up to speed. Dunner said: “There were two Anglicans, a Hare Krishna, a Roman Catholic and a Buddhist, although, I have to tell you, he was Jewish as well.
“We discussed what kind of prayers we should be saying. I just said I wouldn’t mind surviving because my wife was going to cook me a very good dinner that night.”
