Shocking but true! Mr. Eved Nirtza, a Hebrew slave, has chosen to remain with his master rather than go free! “It has been 6 amazing years on the job, and I absolutely love it,” commented Mr. Nirtza. “Besides for teaching me new skills, my master serves me delicious and nutritious food, treats me like a son, and even helped me find a lovely wife. What more can I ask for?”
“When you hear the word ‘slave,’ first thing that comes to mind is harsh labor by cruel taskmasters like we had back in Egypt,” explained Mr. Nirtza, in an exclusive TNS interview, who prefers the Hebrew term, Eved. “I would suggest a more accurate translation, like... ‘worker-at-not-so-bad-labor-job-with-plenty-of-great-benefits-and-a-ton-of-great-stuff-like-a-fluffy-pillow.’ How does that sound?”
In order to remain a slave, Mr. Nirtza underwent a unique Torah ceremony. A representative of the Jewish court pierced his ear with a tool called an awl. “I’m awlright and raring to work!” commented Mr. Nirtzah after the piercing.
