Towards the beginning of his talk he told this joke.
You know that the midrash says that when Rebecca was pregnant with Jacob and Esau she would feel a baby kick in her womb when she passed by a Torah study hall.Nobody laughed at the joke.
Then she would feel a baby kick in her womb when she passed by a place of idolatry.
She went to pray to G-d for an explanation and asked, "What is going on here? Am I going to have a Yeshiva University baby?"

The joke was not credited to it`s author...Reb Shalom Shavdron,who said that the fetus who wished to go to both a beit midrash,and beit avoda zara could only have been a "mizrochnik"
I heard the joke be'shem R' Samson R. Hirsch with the punchline being a Reform Temple.
