Question
English Question on A wedding in Brownsville
Why did Dr Margolin not particularly want his wife to accompany him to the wedding?
Answer
Whenever Dr Margolin took Gretl to a wedding or Bar Mitzvah, he felt ashamed. Even though she was born a Christian, Dr Margolin could see that American Judaism was a mess. At least this time, he would forgive himself for the trouble of making excuses to her. So, Dr Margolin does not particularly want his wife to accompany him to weddings or parties.
