A car full of ladies from the Temple Beth Israel fund raising committee is in a terrible accident. They arrive at the Pearly Gates where Saint Peter is waiting.
The women want to get into Heaven, so Saint Peter looks through the book, but can't find them listed in the New Arrivals section.
"I'm sorry," Saint Peter says to them, "but I can't find you in the book, there must be some mistake."
With that, he sends them down to Hell. A week later, God asks Saint Peter, "What happened to those Jewish ladies who were supposed to be here?"
"You mean the ones from Temple Beth Israel?" Saint Peter asks. "I didn't see them listed, so I sent them to Hell."
"You what?" God asks outraged, "I wanted them here. If you want to keep your job Saint Peter, you better call Satan and get them back up here ASAP."
St. Peter gets on the phone and calls Hell. Satan answers.
St. Peter says, "Satan you know those Jewish ladies I sent down there last week? Well I really need them up here. Could you please send them back?
"No way," Satan replies. "They're here two days and they've already raised $100,000 for an air conditioning system."
