Ne’man Le’Shalem Schoro - by Rabbi Shlomo Landau

I want to finish with an absolutely magnificent story where we literally see you make a kirish Hashem and on the spot in 1905 moisha genauer canoyer left his family in Europe he was a 26 year old man and he came to United States to try to see if he could somehow make some money for his suffering family back in Europe it was the early 1900s and many people were traveling west and for some reason someone put him on a train to Seattle when he arrived in Seattle he was the 10th from person and he completed the minion how did Maisha support himself he was a peddler that's what the Jewish people did in those days he would buy stuff from this place and then try to Pedal his Wares in a different place and slowly but surely he would make a little bit of money and if he made extra money he'd send it back to his family in Europe one day he heard about a fellow that had a bunch of suits that he was looking to sell and Maisha figured this would be a good opportunity and it was four miles away from where he lived in Seattle and he walked to four miles there was no cars in 1905 and not for him for sure he couldn't afford any other method of transportation so he walks four miles and he comes to this beautiful home and he buys a bunch of suits and he pays them and he comes home and he takes a large bundle of suits and spreads it out on his little teeny bed and he starts going looking at the suits and he realizes that one of the pockets was a little bulkier than the others and he reaches into the pocket and he pulls out a gold and diamond brooch a pin and he's like I didn't buy that I bought the suits he puts his coat back on and he puts the jewelry in his pocket and he walks another four miles he had just walked eight miles and he knocks on the door and the woman opens up and she goes what do you want my husband's not available you were just here before and he says he's holding the thing in his hand he goes I bought this suit I didn't buy the the Diamond here it's yours and the woman is so taken aback and she welcomes him into the hope she sits him down in the family room and she calls her husband down and her husband comes down and he says one second where do you live explain what happened here he wasn't involved in the sale of the suits someone else in the family was he said the whole story and the guy says you just walked four miles after you walked eight miles and now you're gonna have to walk another four miles because of honesty you are so rare and so special he sticks out his hand he goes I just want to introduce myself and he says his name he says I'm the president of Rainier National Bank sir if you ever need a line of credit just make an appointment with me and I'll make sure you have it because somebody who is as honest as you someone I want to do business with a few weeks later Maisha took him up on the offer he took a line of credit and he was able to open a store which eventually became extremely successful he was mechanism that day he walked eight additional miles on the spotter van said you're being mechaddish my name I'll help you and the rest is history family has is a very large family when I was next Israel and partnership there were some very classical people there from that mishbach it's a hundred something years later but that kid assassam continues to pay dividends
