"The Nazi's Grandson from Bordeaux"
I noticed a young man standing at the back, looking a little bewildered
and out of place. It turned out he spoke neither Hebrew nor English, but
I managed to communicate with him in broken French.
Connection: In this week's Torah reading, Vayeishev, there are four prophetic
dreams.

"The Straw Lion and the Tailor"
"Why hadn't the Maggid of Mezritch spoken a single word of Torah
to him," the Sassover worried. "All he did was tell me childish
stories."
Connection: Yud-Tet Kislev, this Shabbat, is the yahrzeit of Rabbi DovBer,
the Maggid of Mezritch.
