A young woman brings her fiancé home to meet her parents. After dinner, the mother asks her husband to learn more about the young man. The father invites the fiancé to his study for a drink.
“So, what are your future plans?” the father asks.
“I’m a Torah scholar,” the fiancé replies.
“A Torah scholar, huh,” the father muses. “That’s respectable, but how do you intend to provide a comfortable home for my daughter, like she’s used to?”
“I will focus on my studies,” the fiancé answers, “and God will take care of us.”
“And what about buying her a beautiful engagement ring, one she deserves?” the father presses.
“I will dedicate myself to learning,” the young man responds, “and God will provide.”
“And children?” the father continues. “How will you support a family?”
“Don’t worry, sir. God will provide,” the fiancé insists each time.
Later, the mother asks, “So, how did it go, dear?”
The father replies, “He has no job and no clear plan, but on the bright side, he seems to think I’m God.”
