his wife can't stand him becoming religious. And if he brings 300 tapes of Torah to the house, she'll probably hang him at night. So every day he, you know, he sneaks in another tape, listens to it, finishes, gets another one, and one day his wife tells him, "Listen, I'm leaving you. I already talked to the lawyer. We're done." But she says the night before the court appearance that finalizes everything and officially ends this marriage, the husband is out working or something, he was gone and she was really upset that he chose God over her and she, you know, starts uh, you know, reminiscing with herself putting, she put on her wedding dress and she looks at the uh, sky and says, "How come I don't feel it? How come I don't feel this thing that he does? I don't feel God. I don't feel it. And she says, "God, if you're real, please show me." And she fell asleep. Next morning, she goes into the car and she automatically the car plays the tape that's already in there. And she starts listening to what's on the tape. What's on the tape? Telling people about reward and punishment. What worse, to kill a Jew or to drive Shabbat? What's worse, do you think? No. To drive Shabbat is worse. I am rabbi. She forgets where she's even going. She continues to listen to the whole tape. She finishes it. She gets home. The husband is there. Okay, we have we have to go to the appointment. She goes, "No, no, I'm going to cancel it." Husband like, "Okay, when do you want to do it?" "I don't know, but do you have another tape?" He says, "Tape for what?" "The tape? The tape that you have in the car? you have another one? The guy almost had a heart attack from happiness, but he didn't want to show it there. He's like, "Uh, yeah, I kind of have some." Yeah, yeah, I can get you another one. Sure. All right. Can you get one quickly? I I need one. I need one. The guy runs to the car, shows up with a tape. Oh, thanks. Okay. She goes back in the car. She's listening to another tape. She's driving aimlessly. No reason to drive. She wants to hear the tape. She hears another tape. Comes back home. You have another tape. Said, "Yeah, I can get you another tape." She gives him another tape. Another tape. Another tape. And she's crying herself, but this time for happiness. And she tells her husband, "Finally, I want to be religious. I want to cover my hair. I want to do everything." And he says to her, "How?" And she tells him what she said. She said, "I didn't feel what you feel. I didn't know what you know. I didn't want to hear it. You told me you believe in this thing in the air that's God, this creator. I didn't feel it. And last night I looked at the sky and I said, "If you're a real God, please show me." And today he showed me.
