A small Jewish community in the north has been waiting for a Rabbi for years. Finally, they get word that the Rabbinical Council found someone, and the entire community goes out to the one-runway airport to meet him. When the plane lands, a Japanese man steps out and tells them he's Rabbi Nakayama. They're a little confused at first, but he immediately addresses the needs of the community and slides into their religious life.
Over the next year, he becomes their favourite Rabbi of all time. Service attendance nearly triples, kids start going to Sunday school for Hebrew lessons, and they raise money to make some much needed repairs to the Synagogue. Finally, after he's been there for a year, they throw a huge surprise party for him and everyone spends the evening telling him how much of an effect he's had on their lives. After everyone's spoken, he stands up.
"I am flattered and honoured by everything you're saying about me. You too have had a positive and healing effect on me as well. But only Hashem is perfect. There must be something, anything I can change, or do better."
They talk among themselves for a moment, and then finally, the President of the Synagogue says, "Rabbi, there is one thing. Just a little thing. The women have asked if, during the Circumcision, you stop jumping up in the air with the knife and screaming 'Hi-YAAAAH!!! '"
