As retold by
Bruce Lowitt
The rabbi's son has just gotten his driver's license and
is negotiating with his father about use of the family car.
"I'll make a deal with you," the rabbi says. "You bring your
grades up, study the Torah more and get your hair cut and you'll be able to use
the car once in a while."
A month passes. The son returns to his father.
"Dad," he says. "I've brought up my grades and I've been studying
Torah more, with you. Can I use the car on Sunday?"
What about your hair?" the rabbi says. "You didn't get a
haircut."
"I was thinking about that. Y'know, Samson had long hair, Abraham had long
hair, and even Moses had long hair...."
"True," the father says. "And they walked everywhere they
went!"
