Torah in Ten: Simchat Torah

It’s All in the Head

Men usually don't sit over coffee talking about their marriages. That's why a particular conversation between three males stuck in my mind — they were discussing the joys of wedded life.

"I love my wife," said David. "That's why I do everything she asks me to do. A few months ago she exclaimed, ‘David, I would really appreciate a new diamond necklace for my birthday’, and I make sure to purchase one for her next birthday.”

Not to be outdone, Daniel said: "I also do everything my wife asks me to do. In fact, she doesn't even have to spell out what she wants. She recently was admiring a diamond necklace on display in a store front’s window and I made sure to purchase it for her birthday.
