True story, but name may have been changed for privacy:
Dovid was beaming during his son’s bris. Nothing was going to spoil this wonderful day. There was a festive atmosphere. Baby gifts were beginning to pile up. Among the presents was an assortment of stuffed animals.
Dovid’s dad was dismayed. “You can’t bring treife animals into your house, it’s not good chinuch for the baby,” he kept saying. Dovid just smiled. “A teddy bear is not a yiddishe gift,” continued Dovid’s dad. “A bear is not kosher.” Dovid didn’t reply.
People began to hush straining to hear the baby’s new name… ????? ??? ???????…
Dov Ber 🙂
