The Power of Charity

Rabbi 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 Reply
