According to a report in the Mount Zion Reporter, the incident took place while Mrs. Meir was interviewing the American-Jewish virtuoso. She asked him to name the "greatest event in your life."

The report went on to state that at the comment Mrs. Meir leaned back in her chair with an expression of complete surprise!
