Once, when his daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy on Sukkot he broke through the roof of the chamber in which she lay in order to make a sukkah of it, so that his new-born grandchild might fulfill the religious obligation of the festival.
Pernah ketika menantu perempuannya melahirkan seorang putra pada hari raya Sukkot (Perayaan Tabernakel) ia menjebol atap kamar tempat Ia berbaring guna membuat sukkah (atap daun-daunan), supaya cucunya yang baru lahir itu memenuhi kewajiban agama untuk perayaan tersebut.
