The Burden of Unexpected Responsibilities
Larry Gopnik:
She seems to be asking an awful lot. But then, I don't know. Somebody has to pay for Sy's funeral.
Rabbi Nachtner:
Uh-huh.
Larry Gopnik:

Rabbi Nachtner:
Something like this... there's never a good time.
Larry Gopnik:

Larry Gopnik:

Rabbi Nachtner:

Larry Gopnik:
And did I tell you I had a car accident the same time Sy had his? The same instant, for all I know. I mean, is Hashem telling me that Sy Ableman is me? Or that we are all one, or something?
Rabbi Nachtner:
