The Power of Charity
The Power of CharityRabbi Dovid Shochet recalls a most amazing story that took place following a lecture he had
given to students in Buffalo, New York. During his talk, he related a story which took place with a miser who was later revealed to be the secret benefactor of his entire town. After concluding his speech, Rabbi Shochet was approached by a young priest in the audience. Little did he know the impact of the story he had told. (1960's)

I believe the priest was a descendent of the miser.
Hashem repaid the miser for his tzedakah by sending a Descendent of the tosfos yom tov (Rabbi Schochet) to bring his grandchild back to yidishkiet

they were both descendents but rabbi Schochet only figured out after (just saying rabbi Schochet is my great uncle)
