Sholom Aleichem Quotes

Our Town, Kasrilevke - That's Where I'm From, You Know - Is A Small Town, And A Poor One. There Is No Thievery There. No One Steals Anything For The Simple Reason That There Is Nobody To Steal From And Nothing Worth Stealing. And Besides, A Jew Is Not A Thief By Nature. That Is, He May Be A Thief, But Not The Sort Who Will Climb Through A Window Or Attack You With A Knife. He Will Divert, Pervert, Subvert, And Contravert As A Matter Of Course, But He Won't Pull Anything Out Of Your Pocket. He Won't Be Caught Like A Common Thief And Led Through The Streets With A Yellow Placard On His Back.

("A Yom Kippur Scandal")
