Squirrels in the Shuls
A small town had three shuls - Orthodox, Conservative
and Reform. All three had a serious problem with squirrels in their
buildings. Each congregation, in its own fashion, had a meeting to
deal with the problem.
The Orthodox decided that it was predestined that
squirrels be in the shul and that they would just have to live with
them.
The Conservatives decided they should deal with the
squirrels in the movement's style of Community Responsibility & Social
Action. They humanely trapped them and released them in a park at
the edge of town. (Within three days, they were all back in the
synagogue.)
The Reform Synagogue had several lengthy meetings,
including those in which all members voiced opinions. Finally they
decided to vote the squirrels in as members of the Temple.
Now they only see them on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Our shul is in a school. A couple of years ago as a Purim prank some of the older boys brought chickens into the school and let them loose--but no one told anyone from the shul. So Shabbos my husband finds an egg lying on the floor and can't figure out how it got out of the shul fridge...then one of the kids came running in to mincha yelling that there were chickens in the kitchen. My then 4 year old was actually frightened of them and wouldn't stay at shul!
Of course, we've actually had a bat in the beis medrash too, but can't blame that on the school kids; somehow it just flew in.
