Many years ago when my parents were in Aratis on a shabas they went to David at the and returning in the afternoon it started to rain and the rain became heavier. They were in me on and there they saw there was an elderly woman that was motioning for them my parents to come in to come in out of the rain. My parents came in and they were stunned. the poverty, the extreme poverty of this woman in this small apartment. In fact, my father commented that there were so many leaks in the ceiling. She had kalas that were rolled up in a plastic on the tablecloth so that the rain would not come in and wet the kalas. And when they commented her about the rain, she looked and said two words. Gishme bra. That's how she viewed the rain. My father took a note of her address. He remembered it and Mati Shabas came back with some money because he wanted to help her fix the roof, the ceiling of the apartment, etc. And it was money that had gotten from Balabatam and she said to my father Shabas Shapiro, I don't need the money. My father thought perhaps she thought it wasn't kosher guilt. He reassured her it came from Shabas. She said, I don't need money. There's no reason for me to take money. After all, she referred to it as Gisha. And then she said you know on second thought I will take the money. Every morning she said for decades she was davening the see at the kaisel. She daved every morning at the kaisel and there she went and she saw so many women women that she said unfortunately would be asking for money but she could never give saddaka. She would never have she never had the money to be able to give saddaka to those women. And it always pained and bothered her. She said to my father, "But now if I take the money from you, I'll be able to give saddaka. I'll be able to help those in need." And for that, she took the money. That's our success over the That's our success over to use the money and to use the wealth and to use the gifts we have. The boy.
