<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The father of new born twins invited one of the Gedolei Hador to be the sandek for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">one</span> of his twins. The Gadol replied that it would have to be both or none. The reason was that he had the foresight to realise that when these twins would get older, the one whose sandek had been this Gadol might taunt the other twin by saying that “my sandek was one of the Gedolei Hador”.</span></span></span></p>
