Description: A homeless man stopped me in Penn Station and asked a question that caught me off guard: “Why do Jews always look so put together?” What he was really asking wasn’t about clothes. It was about dignity. Identity. Self-respect. My answer surprised even me.

I was once standing online [music] at
Penn Station in Manhattan boarding a bus
when a homeless man called [music] out
to me through the crowded terminal and
he said, "Sir, you're Jewish, correct?"
I said, "Yeah." He said, "I have a
question for you. Why is it that all you
Jews are always welldressed, [music]
always in those white shirts with the
press suit or a good-looking sweater on?
Why is that?"
As my bus began boarding [music] the
last passengers, I turned to him and I
said, "Let me ask you a question. Why do
Secret Service agents always dress
[music] nicely? They always have those
press suits and the comb tear. Why is
that?" So, I thought for a minute
[music] and he said, "Well, that's
because they represent the president."
Exactly. I said, "And we represent God."
With that, I turned around and I boarded
the bus.
