But it was what happened just four hours later that day that sealed the deal for Lahav
MYwife and I are in the kitchen business, so we went to a trade show in Las Vegas. That’s where we met Lahav, who was manning one of the vending stands.
“Rebbetzin,” he called out to my wife as we passed by, “maybe you want to buy something here l’kavod Shabbos?”
Of course, that was an original line. We stopped to get to know him a little bit. He made sure to let us know that he was shomer Shabbos. I was surprised to hear this, since Lahav didn’t look particularly religious. I told him I was impressed, since a lot of the business in his industry was specifically transacted on Shabbos.
“I am more impressed with you,” he replied. “I know how empty life is without Shabbos, but you don’t. I was lucky enough to learn the truth, so now it’s not a test for me anymore.”
