| Quote | "Life is a terrible prankster, Reb Carnovsky. It loves to play tricks on people. German Jews wanted to be Jews in the house and gentiles in the street but life turned this ambition completely topsy-turvey. The fact is that they have become gentiles in the house and Jews in the street." p. 160. |
