Goldberg built a prosperous business and looked forward to a good life and
a happy retirement. But suddenly competition began to hurt and the
business was going down the drain. He is seriously contemplating suicide
and he doesn't know what to do. He goes to the Rabbi to seek his advice.

He tells the Rabbi about all of his problems in the business and asks the
Rabbi what he should do. The Rabbi says "Take a beach chair and a Bible
and put them in your car and drive down to the edge of the ocean. Go to
the water's edge. Take the beach chair out of the car, sit on it and take
the Bible out and open it up. The wind will riffle the pages for a while
and eventually the Bible will stay open at a particular page. Read the
first words your eyes fall on and they will tell you what to do."

Goldberg does as he is told. He places a beach chair and a Bible in his
car and drives down to the beach. He sits on the chair at the water's edge
and opens the bible. The wind riffles the pages of the Bible and then
stops at a particular page. He looks down at the Bible and his eyes fall
on words which tell him what he has to do.

Three months later Goldberg and his family come back to see the Rabbi.
He is wearing a $1,500 Italian suit, the wife is glorious in a designer
dress and a full-length mink coat and their daughter is dressed in
beautiful silk.
The man hands the Rabbi a thick envelope full of money and tells him that
he wants to donate it to the synagogue in appreciation for the Rabbi's
wonderful advice.

The Rabbi is delighted. He asks Goldberg what words in the Bible brought
such good fortune to him. The man replies: "Chapter 11".
