by Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
In a small village lived a poor groom. Unable to afford a proper tailor to make a wedding suit, he brought material to a second-rate one. The poor boy was shocked to see the results.
“But this sleeve is six inches too short,” he cried. “So pull in your arm,” smiled the tailor. “But the other sleeve is a half a foot too long!” “So extend it,” beamed the so-called craftsmen. “And the pants,” screamed the groom, “the left leg is twisted!” “Oh that's nothing. Just hop down the aisle with your knee slightly bent!”
At the wedding, the assembled reeled in horror as the poor groom hobbled down to the canopy in the poor excuse for a suit. “What a grotesquely disfigured young man,” gasped one guest. “Oy! Ah rachmunis (pity) on his poor bride,” sighed another. The spectators looked once again at the pathetic sight and noticed how well the suit appeared to fit. In unison they all exclaimed. “But his tailor — what an extraordinary genius!” (More Parsha Parables Rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky)
