The influential Rabbi Mailach Biderman told today about a Jew from Modi’in Illit who gave up on Torah law with his neighbor for NIS 5,000 and as a result earned NIS 20,000. How did the chick get to a fake Arab?
A story told today (Friday) by the influential Rabbi Elimelech Biderman, which he heard from Rabbi Eliezer Turk, one of the rabbis of the city of Modi’in Illit, illustrates the power of the degree of waiver and how much can be gained from it.
And a case in point was this: Torah law was conducted between two neighbors following a dispute over a wall built in a building. Who should pay the wall that costs 5000 NIS? In the middle of the Torah, since one said that he gives up the other neighbor for the payment and he will pay the cost of the wall.
The neighbor who gave up, owed the contractor 15,000 NIS, he said to the contractor I owe 15,000, I will write you a check for 20,000 NIS plus 5000 NIS on the wall discussed between me and the neighbor.
A long time has passed since then and the neighbor sees that the check has not been cashed in the bank account. He met the contractor, and asked him why he did not cash the check? The contractor replied that I had long ago used a check, I had already paid one of the Arab workers the payment he deserved.
The influencer goes on to say: The contractor inquired, and discovered that the Arab who received the check saw that he had a check in his hand with NIS 20,000, and added another 0 that would be NIS 200,000 thousand. The Arab came to the bank to deposit, and the banker noticed that the Arab forged the check, and added another 0, only the Arab did not notice that the amount was also written on the side, and it said 20,000 and not 200,000 NIS.
The clerk started yelling at the Arab why he was faking, the Arab ran away, and was not taken out at all, and the check went in the trash.
The influential Rabbi Milech concluded, with the words of Rabbi Turk: If you give up NIS 5,000, you earn twenty thousand NIS.
