And she looked at me and she said, "What's going to happen first? Am I going to become religious, or you're going to get the piercings?" - Rebbetzin Baily Friedman Produced by: Gary Waleik & Shneur Brook for Lubavitch International/Lubavitch.com - A Project of Machne Israel Available on all major podcast platforms - and online at Lubavitch.com/podcast Support the show
