Many years ago a friend of mine who is, unfortunately, no longer in this
world, told me the following story. His son had a chavrusa who had
connections with KAJ, the German community in Washington Heights. Shortly
before this fellow's Chasuna he went to Rav Dr. Yosef Breuer, ZT"L,
for a brocha. In the course of their meeting, Rav Breuer asked this
fellow what he planned to do after he married. He replied that he was
going to learn full-time in Kollel. Rav Breuer asked him how he was going
to support himself and his wife. The fellow replied that his wife was
going to work and support both of them.<br><br>
Rav Breuer asked this young man if he had the kesuva that was going to be
used at the Chasuna with him. Bewildered, the fellow replied that he did
not. Rav Breuer asked him to return with it the next day. <br><br>
The Chosson to be returned the next day with the kesuva, still not
comprehending what was going on. Rav Breuer looked at the Kesuva
and said,"Here it says you are going to support her! Auf a falshe
zach, kein brocha!" >:-}<br><br>
