One day he visited a merchant in Hamburg who hada lovely daughter named Frumtje. Moses fellhopelessly in love with her. But Frumtje was repulsedby his misshapen appearance.

When it came time for him to leave, Moses gathered his courage and climbed the stairs to herroom to take one last opportunity to speak with her. She was a vision of heavenly beauty, butcaused him deep sadness by her refusal to look at him. After several attempts atconversation, Moses shyly asked, "Do you believe marriages are made in heaven?"

"Yes," she answered, still looking at the floor. "And do you?"

"Yes I do," he replied. "You see, in heaven at the birth of each boy, the Lord announces whichgirl he will marry. When I was born, my future bride was pointed out to me. Then the Lordadded, 'But your wife will be humpbacked.'

"Right then and there I called out, 'Oh Lord, a humpbacked woman would be a tragedy. Please,Lord, give me the hump and let her be beautiful.' "

Then Frumtje looked up into his eyes and was stirred by some deep memory. She reached outand gave Mendelssohn her hand and later became his devoted wife.
