[Avodah] RSRH, Sinatra, and Love and Marriage

[Yitzchok Levine]

Some of you may remember Frank Sinatra's song Love and Marriage.

Those of you who were raised in a cloistered environment are probably 
thinking, "Who?" (I, of course,  only know about Frank Sinatra, 
because he was born in Hoboken, NJ, where Stevens Institute of 
Technology is located, and received an Honorary 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Engineering>Doctor of 
Engineering degree from 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevens_Institute_of_Technology>Stevens 
Institute of Technology in1985. :-) )


The first part of the song's lyrics are

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other

For those of you who are not familiar with this song, you can listen 
to it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPWE9z5dMa4
 From a Torah standpoint, there is something very wrong with the 
lyrics. See RSRH's commentary on Bereishis 24:67 at
