Baron Rothschild's Critical Lesson - Rabbi Shlomo Landau

the altar of nevada shared a profound story of a jew from eastern europe who was poor and destitute and really had no hope for any type of financial future when a friend of his told him about the very generous and kind baron rothschild living in frankfurt that would help any jew in a substantial way and he decided that that was perhaps his only hope and he began the arduous journey by foot he had no money for the fair and he began to walk city to city district to district country to country by the time he got into germany his shoes were worn out he was barefoot and by the time he came into frankfurt he was a shadow of his former self a skeleton skin and bones he dragged himself to the front steps of baron rothschild's palatial mansion he rang the doorbell and he collapsed from exhaustion and starvation the servants opened the door saw a jew that was unconscious they quickly brought him in they called the baron they began to revive him they eventually gave him food and drink and they bathed him and gave him a set of clothing until he came back to himself all the while baron rothschild very concerned hovering in the background to make sure this jewish fellow would be okay finally when the fellow came to and he regained a little bit of his strength the baron sat him down and said rabid my dear jewish brother what brings you here how can i help you and he shared his tale of woe the baron was so touched he'd seen how destitute the fellow was and he reached into his purse and he pulled out enough gold to take the fellow back home establish her business and hopefully put him on salad financial footings the fellow came back home and sure enough he was successful a friend of was who was also destitute decided let me try the same thing and he began his trip but he decided to do something else along the way he decided to beg and collect from all the kind jewish communities and as he traveled it took him many months he slowly but truly started to amass a substantial amount of money by the time he came to the baron he was pretty well put together he was able to eat and he had a substantial amount of money in his purse he came to the baron he shared his tale of woe and the baron gave him a few german franks the fellow looked at him with horror he traveled across europe to be able to get a substantial donation and he only gets a few franks baron he said perhaps something else the baron gave him 10 francs but he says how about my friend you literally put him on solid financial footing you started him up me not giving me anything he says that fellow traveled across the world because he realized i was the only one that could help him but you there's so many kind jews that have helped you you don't need me go back and people will help you along the way explain the alta from the verdict the first of the yasser sadibus is believe in the rebbi and many people believe in god but many people believe in god and themselves in the almighty and other powers [Music] one besides the replenished letter itself then the rebellion says if you are fully reliant upon me then i'll support you and i'll sustain it but when we come before the rebellion and say we also need your help and rebuttal gives us a respectable handout a kind donation but he doesn't literally assume our problems and help us in a whole new level that's strengthening our belief that only the rebellion can give us and we're fully dependent on him and he'll respond in return [Music]
