טקסט

The man whose house was too near the synagogue

the story name

Once upon a time there lived a man, whose house was close to the synagogue. Nevertheless, all his children died and no one knew why. So he asked a wise man why his children had died, and the latter replied: "Because your house is built higher than the synagogue, making its windows dark and extinguishing its light. Moreover it is not becoming to indulge in conjugal love so close to the synagogue."

When he heard this, he thought it would be better to demolish his house, and he did so. From that time on he never lost a child.
