Napoleon Synaplex
It’s bad enough when two divas show up for a big bash in the same dress — but the rabbi and the synagogue president!?! Well, it happened this year at Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel in Philadelphia, where the rabbi, Ira Stone, and the president, Bob Fleischman, both showed up for the Purim festivities as Napoleon.
Sources tell us it was a coincidence. Thankfully, judging from the the two men’s smiles, neither of the costumes came with a complex.
