Pew Leaflet Matthew 22:1-14

It’s the Thought that Counts

A frail 80-year-old Jewish mother is celebrating her birthday and her three sons each give her a present:

Harry gives her a new house. Harvey gives her a new car and driver. And Bernie gives her a huge parrot that can recite the entire Torah.

A week later, she calls her three sons together and says:

“Harry, thanks for the nice house, but I only live in one room. Harvey, thanks for the nice car, but I can’t stand the driver.

Bernie, thanks for giving your mother something she could really enjoy. That chicken was delicious.
