:32:01
So you are from Kiev, Reb...
:32:03
Perchik.
:32:06
So you are a newcomer here, huh?
:32:09
As Abraham said...
:32:11
"I'm a stranger
in a strange land. "

:32:15
Moses said that.
:32:17
Forgive me.
:32:19
As King David said, "I'm slow of speech
and slow of tongue. "

:32:23
That was also Moses.
:32:27
For a man with a slow tongue
he talked a lot.

:32:33
Here, Reb Perchik.
:32:35
Have a piece.
:32:37
I have no money,
and I'm not a beggar.

:32:40
Take it. It's a blessing
for me to give.

:32:46
Very well. For your sake.
:32:48
Thank you.
:32:51
You know, it's no crime
to be poor.

:32:54
In this world,
the rich are the criminals.

:32:56
- Someday their wealth will be ours.
- That would be nice.

:32:59
If they would agree, I would agree.
:33:03
Who will make this miracle
come to pass?

:33:06
People. Ordinary people.
:33:08
- Like you?
- Like me.

:33:11
Until your golden day comes,
Reb Perchik, how will you live?

:33:15
By giving lessons to children.
Do you have any children?

:33:18
I have five daughters.
:33:21
Five!
:33:23
Daughters!
:33:25
Girls should learn too.
Girls are people.

:33:28
- A radical!
- Go away.

:33:29
I'd be willing to teach them,
open their minds to great thoughts.

:33:33
I'd like them
to know the Good Book.

:33:36
The Bible has many lessons
for our times.

:33:39
Perchik...
:33:41
I'm a very poor man...
:33:44
but food for lessons, huh?
:33:48
Good. Stay with us for the Sabbath.
:33:50
Of course, we don't
eat like kings...

:33:53
but we don't starve either.
:33:54
As the Good Book says,
when a poor man eats a chicken...

:33:58
one of them is sick.
