Studious Scholar & Financiers
A young woman brings her fiance home to meet her parents. After dinner, her
mother tells her father to find out about the young man, so the father
invites the fiancee to his study for a drink.
“So what are your plans?” the father asks the young man.
“I am a Torah scholar,” he replies.
“A Torah scholar. Hmmm,” the father says. “Admirable, but what will you do
to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she’s accustomed to?”
“I will study,” the young man replies, “and God will provide for us.”
“And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she
deserves?” asks the father.
“I will concentrate on my studies,” the young man replies, “God will provide
for us.”
“And children?” asks the father. “How will you support children?”
“Don’t worry, sir, God will provide,” replies the fiance. The conversation
proceeds like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist
insists that God will provide.
Later, the mother asks, “How did it go, Honey?”
The father answers, “He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he
thinks I’m God.”
