- Fantastic and not so fantastic.

- Why not fantastic?

- Lots of people, lots of influences.

- They could be good influences.

Sometimes good,

sometimes not so good.

Go around, nu.

- There's no room for a car to pass.

- There's plenty of room for a car.

Unfortunately we're not in a car.

We're in this ridiculous boat.

- Is a station wagon.

- Whoever heard of a station wagon

for three people?

- You could fit a family

of 12 in this thing.

- God willing.

Sonia, I know you're still mad at me

because I named Shimmie after the Rebbe.

But he's our first son...

and I feel he should be invested with

the highest level of spirituality.

We can name our next boy Yossi.

Hmm?

The Rebbe.

A few pennies, young rebbe.

A little change for a woman...

who's been too long

on her tired feet.

- But my wife has all our money.

- Is been such a long time.

Four years.

Such a long time.

A thousand blessings

on your house.

Don't worry, bubbie,

it won't bite.

Bless you.

For what?

Is the Rebbe.

And so God picked that

humble, little mountain...

on which to present

His greatest gift.

The gift of His Torah.

But the question still remained:

To who was He going to give such a gift?

So God set out on a journey

to find which amongst

the nations of the earth...

was worthy of receiving His Torah.

God went to the Goyim in Canaan

and he asked them...

"Look what I have for you.

Is the Torah.

- Do you want my Torah?"

- No!

No, of course not.

No, no, not this.

Maybe something lighter like

this sweet floral pattern here,

or this nice blue chiffon look.

Personally, I'd recommend

something light and airy...

to complement the charming atmosphere

of your home.

Charming means "small," right?

I assume you'll be hanging

curtains in the living room

as well as in the kitchen...

which opens up

a whole range of choices.

For instance, you could decide

on an atmosphere of integration...

and unify the space

with a single theme...

or you could separate

the rooms visually.

Different looks, different atmospheres,

different states of mind.

America!

Yes, God came to America.

And also he asked the American Goyim,

"Do you want my Torah?"

And also they asked,

"Tell us what is in it first."

"Honor thy father and thy mother."

"Nah! Respect our parents?

I don't think so.

Get that thing. What do you call it?

Torah? Get it out of here?"

So, God came...

to Israel.

"Israel," He asked us...

"Jews, do you want my Torah?"

And what did they answer?

"Naaseh ve nishmah!"

Quiet down. You're wrecking

your auns new apartment

before she's moved into it.

In one case,

the apartment is a whole, unified.

In the other, the living room is the
