Let My People Know

Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz: “He was greasing his wagon wheels.”

As Rabbi Lev Yitzchak looked out his window one morning, he saw a wagon driver reciting the morning prayers, dressed in a prayer shawl and teftllin, even as he was greasing his wagon wheels.

Rabbi Levi Yitzchak exclaimed, “Master of the world, look! Even when a Jew greases his wagon wheels, he prays!”
