We're open 24 hours a, day seven days a week. He decided, oh? Mr.. baal haBait, mr. owner where's the nearest gas station And the guy says here. No, no, no the different one with a different gas station Baal haBait didn't know what's wrong with this guy, oh, no maybe trying to sell something but who knows what, what the reasoning behind such a question is. He says Oh it's five miles down the road. Goes, "thank you," and he starts walking away. So one of the people that, was filling up gas Was well-to-do and ...

He goes "no no no, no, no no i need, you to come trust, me it is worth it. I need your help. Okay, beSeder. The guy goes to the bank. As soon as he gets to the bank goes here this is for you and He gives him two hundred fifty thousand dollars. He says, what's this for? he says my, father just died And he was very rich and he lived in america and he wrote on his will that i'm only allowed to give I'm only allowed to take this money if i give ma'aser to someone that has really yirat shamayim. someone thats really has yirat shamayim. And I said I asked the guy, What's yirat shamayim? Somebody, that's afraid of G-d. He goes "oh, I know somebody that's afraid of god" Goes, "Who?" he's not even willing to get gas from a person that violates Shabbat. You're the only one I know. HaShem pays cash, pays cash. You just have to wait sometimes.
