Back in the mid-80’s we were moving from Moshav Elazar across the street (highway 60) to our new home in Efrat. So, we called one of the most venerable moving companies in Israel, Hovalot Ya’akovi, in business since 1950, just like me. On the phone, I asked to move the following Monday. The response? ‘No, you want to move on Tuesday, yom she’huchpal bo ‘ki tov!’ I was being informed that Tuesday’s the best day for new endeavors, because that day God said, ‘And it was good,’ twice. At that point, I was trying to remind myself who was the rabbi and who was the truckdriver. Of course, they may just have been fully booked on Monday, but I was convinced.
