So in the old days it was very
different. In the old days,
the dulim
would go and raise money when it was
desperate times and
one time went to one of his journeys to
raise money
and he got to a place he went to one of
his donors that's a rich person. There
it was snowstorm. Usually a snowstorm,
you stay home.
When lives are on the line, there's no
uh staying home. There's no calling in
sick. Oh, Rabbi, listen. I uh I have a
headache. I'm not going to come today.
Okay. Okay. I have a headache. I won't
come today. Snowstorm, it went. If it
was for a million dollars, you'd go. A
million dollars, you go. Doesn't matter
if you have a headache. But that's the
difference. Different, you know,
people's priorities are different. All
right. Listen, I'm sneezing a little
today, so I'm not going to come for the
shoe for a week. I don't get upset. No
problem. But if it was a million
dollars, every shoe you'd come
snowstorm. While the snow is going on
top of it, it's freezing weather of
Europe. Russia, she like, you know, the
gum has, you know, the the hot place and
the cold place. I believe that the cold
place is in Russia. It's very cold over
there, apparently.
So, anyway,
Ravasim is there. He gets to the rich
person's house,
knocks on the door. The butler opens the
door. Zod, come, come, come, come in.
Go. No, no, no. Please, I want to talk
to Mr. Such and such. Okay, but come in.
No, no, no. I'm right here. Just please
tell him to come. I need to talk to him.
Something very important. So the butler
runs to sir. Sir,
he's here again. He wants to talk to
you. tell him to come in. He goes, "He
doesn't want to come in." He doesn't
want to come in. What do you mean he
doesn't want to come in? I don't know.
He asked him. He doesn't want to come
in. No. Go. He runs the door. He goes,
"Come, come, come." Goes, "No, no, no. I
need to talk to you." Okay. Come on,
come in. No, I need to talk to you right
now. Okay. So, they're both outside. No,
the the the the
owner, he's like at the doorstep, but is
outside in the cold. Snow coming down on
him. It's freezing. It's freezing.
And he starts talking. He says you know
whing. No tell me. The kids the kids at
the yeshiva in Bonovich in Banovich they
don't have any food. We are now sharing
a meal for three for one for for a meal
for one person between three four
people. On top of it some of them their

top of it, this goes okay, come in. No,

second. I need to tell you also the
clothes they're growing. The kids are
growing bush. The kids are growing.
They're not growing because they can't
eat that much. But the the clothes are
shrinking and it's holes. And he starts
telling all the details of the agony and
pain of the 400 students that he has.
And you know, wasn't one of these people
that would preach and do something
different.
If there wasn't this family said, "Aba,
uh, we have uh, can we get chicken?" No.
Why? Why? Why can't we get chicken?
Because unless we have chicken for all
400 of my kids, we're not going to eat
chicken at home.
We're not going to eat chicken at home.
His own kids, his own kids, which some
of them became.
They said if there wasn't food in the
yeshiva exactly like we have at home,
it's not eat. If they're not eating,
we're not eating.

all the different issues. The shoes are
now sandals. The the the jackets are no
longer fit. The shirts have holes in
them. The food is being split among
several kids and so on and so forth. 20
minutes 20 minutes of details
in the freezing cold.
The guy is freezing

going on and on. After 20 minutes, he
says, "So, what do you think? Are you
going to be able to help this year?"
The Palabite says, "Sure.
Of course, I'm going to help." Was okay.
He comes into the house.
The guy is catching his breath cuz it's
so cold.
And after a few minutes of, you know,
catching himself, he says, "Fod, I don't
understand.
Every you you come to me, I I try to
