Moishe Kaplan went to his doctor, who told him that he had a bad illness and only a year to live. Saddened by the news, Moishe decided to go to his Rabbi, Rabbi Feldman to talk. After Moishe explained his situation, he asked the Rabbi if there was anything he could do.
"What you should do is go out marry the meanest woman you can find,” said Rabbi Feldman, “then move into an apartment above a chicken slaughterhouse and start raising money for our shul."
Moishe asked, "Will this help me live longer?"
"No," said the Rabbi, "but it will make what time you do have seem like forever."
