I made sure he didn't,

thank you very much.

The best show ever!

You got to watch it!

It's the greatest!

Ay, shaineh maidel.

Don't stare. Don't stare.

You're the one staring.

I'm not staring.

Hey, sammy,

let me ask you --

Do you even know what to do

with a beautiful girl?

The rebbe will tell me.

Gut shabbos. Goodbye.

The rebbe will tell you?

Yes.

What's the rebbe

gonna tell you?

The rebbe's not gonna tell you

how to please your wife.

Would you stop it?

Don't listen to him.

He's fine.

He's jealous.

What am I jealous of,

leon, huh?

Jealous of marrying a girl

I don't even know?

My tateh says it's time

for us to get married.

We will be happy.

Baruch hashem.

Goodbye. Thank you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

baruch hashem. Very confident.

Mr. Lazar!

Hey, mr. Lazar!

[ indistinct shouting ]

Get off of me!

Get off of me!

Come on, get off of me,

you f***ing fag.

Get off. Get out of here.

Run to shul, little girls.

Go home!

They heard hashem's voice

moving in the garden

With the wind of day.

The man and his wife

hid themselves from hashem

Among the trees

of the garden.

Hashem called to the man,

And he said,

"where are you?"

Did hashem know

where adam was hiding?

Shmuel?

Shmuel?

God being god

knew where adam was hiding,

But the question

is for adam to answer.

All men must answer this.

They must know

where they stand

In relation

to hashem's presence.

Either you move closer...

Or further away.

Your friend is very wise

with the talmud.

He could be

a good rabbi.

But we're not here

to talk about leon.

We're here to talk

about you.

I think I'd prefer

to work with my father.

I see.

Judaism

is about community.

It's about looking outward

to others,

Not just looking inward

at yourself.

Farshteyn. Farshteyn.

I don't want to be a burden

to my family or the community.

Very well. Very well.

I have given my blessing

for the first bashert.

You have?

I pray the meeting

goes in your favor.

You'll be a husband and a father

before you know it.

Thank you, rebbe.

A shaynem dank.

Only then

will you find true joy

And all this

will become clear.

Will you study

at the koel?

Yes, well,

I-I work in manhattan now.

I'm not sure about

becoming a rabbi yet.

You like

playing basketball more?

You've seen me?

No, no.

No.

No. My tateh

will talk to the rabbi.

They will decide for me.

What job do you do?

I take care of my younger

brothers and sisters.

Oh. That's nice.

How many children?

[ clock chiming ]

Five?

No, I want eight.

Eight?

Baruch hashem.

Baruch hashem.

Which yeshiva

would they attend?

Eight? Wow.

Sammy. Come over here

for a second.

It's freezing out,

huh?

Yeah.
