Chapter 2
Last week: In Montreal, Yitzchak Davidowitz gets news that his tefillin are not kosher. He rushes to find a set of tefillin to put on before sunset.
Can I send in Mr. Gold?
No. Umm...yes.
What’s wrong, my friend? You look awful! Did you just hear bad news?
I just heard that my tefillin are not kosher! Maybe you have a set of tefillin here with you?
Wow! Just today, I left my tefillin in the car. I’ll run and get them for you so you can put them on before sunset!
Thank you, Hashem!
In the sofer’s house
Here, you see, the mistake.
How can it be that they didn’t find that mistake when I had the tefillin checked twelve years ago, before my wedding?!
Now I understand how important it is to check tefillin regularly.
Why did you decide to have them checked now?
My Rav told me to check them because of what happened to me...
A year earlier, in Yitzchak Davidowitz’s office:
Where is my wallet?! How did it disappear?!
Too many things have been disappearing lately...I don’t think these valuable items grew wings. We need to check the security cameras to find out who the thief is!
That’s John, the janitor! The pictures are a bit blurred; we can’t be certain. But starting tomorrow, I’ll be keeping an eye on him!
The next day:
That’s it! We’ve caught our thief. I’ll call the police immediately!
The accused is found guilty of theft, and sentenced to a year in prison!
What a severe punishment! And all because of the boss. I’ll get even with that Jew!!
