A SERIOUS MAN

In bygone times, on a snowy night in Eastern Europe, the Jew Velvel returns to his village after selling geese at the market. Cheerfully, Velvel tells his wife Dora that he encountered Traitle Groshkover and invited him to visit. Aghast, Dora claims that they are cursed, then explains that Reb Groshkover died three years ago from typhus. What Velvel really saw, she says, is a dybbuk , or a dead soul looking to inhabit a live person. When the old man arrives, he explains that he recovered from his illness and denies Dora's accusation that he died. Velvel assures Groshkover that he is a "rational man" and does not believe in superstition, but, to prove her point, Dora stabs Groshkover in the chest with an ice pick.
