Married To The Holy One Of Israel
An old and experienced rabbi snuggled back into an overstuffed airplane seat, quite prepared to sleep during the flight to a far away city. But the young man beside him seemed anxious for a dialogue. This man has never talked to a Jewish person before, much less to a rabbi. After some preliminary conversation, the young man asked: "Sir , what is the message of your religion?" Without a moment's hesitation the rabbi replied: "God is Israel's husband." And with that the Rabbi fell off to sleep. He had said it all.
