The old father, who had a weakness for gambling, was dying
and called his children to his bedside for their final blessing and advice.
“You must promise me,” he said, “never to touch a card. Above all I would warn you against playing
baccarat. It is a game which will cost
you a fortune, waste your time and ruin your health. Do you all promise me never to play
baccarat?”
Yes, father,” in chorus..
“And remember – if you do
play, always take the bank!”
-Friday Nite Book
There is a gross difference between words and action. That is why Judaism belabors this idea time
and again in myriad ways. A person of
action always precedes one of words.
