Not Having Their Hoverboards Still Hurt Them

Shabbos Stories | June 27, 2025

Shimmy and Yitzy listened to this and thought about it. It made sense, but it still hurt to not have their hoverboards.

Uncle Velvel sensed what the boys were thinking. “I have an eitzah for you,” he said. “Try to think about this lesson. Make a real effort to understand and feel that Olam Haba is more important than anything else. I can’t make any promises, but perhaps you might get your hoverboards back. After all, if you learned the lesson already, there might not be a need for you to no longer have your hoverboards!”

Have a Wonderful Shabbos!
