foreign
therefore it's a happy week
happiness is relative
the title teaches us the way to be happy
and we spoke about this quite a bit
during the um
I heard a story during Yankton with the
klezenberger's
close Jose to the moisture Vice
Oliver Shalom and the rebel and I wanna
I wanna share that with you upon him
briefly
so they there's Pleasant called him once
in and said that he did most
institutions need funds and he needs
them desperately to go travel around the
world to to raise money so he went
to I believe Belgium Belgium or England
the person didn't know I think was
Belgium anyway
and he's told that there is this wealthy
person who gives to DACA every two weeks
when he came it was already it was
another week and a half for him to have
to wait to be able to see the gentleman
he didn't have the time he had a living
amount of time there so he decided just
to go there and schmoozed with him
because he heard that somehow his
ancestors came from a certain city that
he came from as well so he had what to
talk about
he comes into his house and he wasn't a
religious person
it was Jewish but not religious he comes
into his house and he sees a big picture
of the Dead should have to hang on the
walls right away he says my high what
connection do you have to the Bible
should have it
this doesn't tell you the story the
story is one day I got a letter in the
mail
from a rabbi had no idea what the rabbi
is and it says that that you're a
businessman and you travel to to Munich
I believe
it once a month to do business there
nearby in another city there's a
cemetery and the the Jewish caught him
Graves with the non-jewish courtroom are
mixed together
and it's not appropriate and I'd like
you to please see about putting up a
fence they're separating the two
sections so he took the letter he tore
it up he says I don't know what this
Rabbi is I don't have time for this I'm
not interested to throw in the garbage
a month went by and he got another
letter with the same request but in this
letter
that ever wrote this is what this is the
way the story was told to me
by emotion Weiss's
brother-in-law
he writes in the letter that this time
that if you do this you'll get half of
my oil and handbook I mean I I frankly
have a hard time I haven't seen the
letter you know believing that type of
language that ever usually didn't say
that but that's the way the story came
to me I'm sharing it with you
again it meant nothing to him he doesn't
know what happens he didn't know
anything he was not religious he was
non-learned
so he tears it up and he throws it into
his garbage or so he thought
what happened was
you'll hear a little later
when it was there
the next time in your in in Munich the
the the business person that he that he
dealt with and who sold to him
merchandise
left a message with the secretary that
um when he comes telling police to wait
a few days because I'm out of town I had
a funeral a family a funeral and I'm not
there and really please wait and I
bought him tickets to go to the Opera
and to go here and to put them up at a
hotel and whining and dining him but let
him wait for me
he says thank you very much but um I'll
stay at the hotel I'm not I've already
seen the the clicking as we're saying it
is the the great sites of of Munich you
know I already I've done that
sightseeing and he just stayed there and
he did his business
came into the hotel room and he opens up
to sit down to start doing some work his
attached at the shake case his briefcase
and lo and behold this is the letter
that happened
he said wait a minute I tore that up
just let her a month ago or so and it
went into the garbage can well
mistakenly you know the garbage can is
under the desk and right next it was an
open briefcase his briefcase so instead
of going to the garbage gate and went
into the
to the briefcase they took a look at it
he takes a look at it
and he's and he and he sees again with
the rabbit with the rabbi wants and he
says you don't have time after three
days till the my the person who I do
business with comes back I'll do it and
he went down there he paid for was the
only way to get there and he saw indeed
that there was a a mixing of Jews and
non-jews and something just said I'm
gonna pay for it and he was a wealthy
man and he took care of it
came back
out of curiosity
um he wanted to know who's this Rabbi so
he said where is there a rabbi near me
in Belgium wherever you live and and
they said there's a Chabad Rabbi he
doesn't know what Chabad is a rabbis
they want to speak to him and he tells
him the story when the Chabad schlier
heard the story but the rebel said I'll
give you half of my oil he almost
fell off his chair he said you know what
that means he says no I have no idea
what it means she says man can I teach
you can I talk to you he said sure
he started to learn and became about the
shoe film
the moisture Vice is sitting there
he almost fell off the chair and he says
to him it's a fantastic story
that the Bible is thinking about this
grapes idea but guess who buried those
people there after the Holocaust I and
the cloison burger
because a day after Liberation The
Liberation they went around they went to
the American soldiers and they got a
truck and the whole story has been
written up
and they went around picking up Jewish
people and bearing them
he says I buried those people with the
Collision
over there they should have at least a
Jewish school a Jewish burial and here
he's sitting at the table with the
person who did ever asked to put up
this separation this fence which he did
he became about the shoe van here he's
sitting with the person who originally
buried them
end of the story is he wrote him a check
for 25 000 pounds or whatever the
equivalent is in the country that he was
at the person gave him
even though it wasn't the time it was
given out to Dhaka not just a check but
a large check and the rest is history
this is the story for the week
I think it needs no explanation have a
great Shabbos enjoy the family make the
best of the Shabbos
and
