Story - Tzedaka

A counsler's gotta be a story teller at times...so I'm gonna start posting themed stories here. Enjoy!

There is a lovely story about the great Victorian Anglo-Jew, Sir Moses Montefiore. Montefiore was one of the outstanding figures of the nineteenth century. A close friend of Queen Victoria and knighted by her, he became the first Jew to attain high office in the City of London. His philanthropy extended to both Jews and non-Jews, and on his one-hundredth birthday, The London Times devoted editorials to his praise. "He had shown," said the Times, "that fervent Judaism and patriotic citizenship are absolutely consistent with one another."

One reflection was particularly moving: Someone once asked him, "Sir Moses, what are you worth?" Moses thought for a while and named a figure. "But surely," said his questioner, "your wealth must be much more than that." With a smile, Sir Moses replied, "You didn't ask me how much I own. You asked me how much I am worth. So I calculated how much I have given to charity this year."

"You see," he said, "we are worth what we are willing to share with others."

My dear fellow chassidim and chassidistes,

Many of you know me, some of you don't. I've decided to spend a few minutes of valuable pre-Yudalef Nissan time to touch base with you. You see, after spending merely a few minutes 'phishing' on the internet, I know so much about you all. I recognize a niece (hi, Zeldy!), many former students (wazzup, Mattie, Mushky, Sarena, Chaya, Esti, Nechamie, Ruchel Baila) and some current students (hello, Goldie, Rachelli, Nechama, Myriam)... Your email addresses alone tell me who may be into her looks, has a sense of humor, is risqué, etc. I can easily find almost any of your postal addresses and phone numbers just with the info that I have now.
Do you really want the details of your life to be so wide-open to any stranger who just happens along??
The reason that we boys (yup, there's a few of you receiving this as well! (??!!??!! Considering that I 'phished' from girls' emails??!!??)) and you girls have the respective halochos of tznius, is that we believe in hiding a good thing, not in waving it in the public eye and full view.
On a more timely note, the reason the wicked son is mentioned next to the wise son, is so that the wise son doesn't get all proud of himself and think that he is safe from evil. He must know that the evil son is right there next to him, waiting for the opportunity to 'get his foot in the door'. BEWARE! Warns the Hagada: THERE'S NOT MUCH THAT SEPARATES A WISE PERSON FROM AN EVIL ONE!!

The point is:
Please, PLEASE, use caution. Be aware that by being on the world-wide-web you are very mush exposed to EVERY meshugganer (myself included or not – that's your choice!) in the world. I could have been sending anything to you! Protect yourself and use your yidishe, chassidishe kop to protect your kedusha as a yid in a befitting manner.

Sorry for intruding, and thank you for listening.

Rabbi Meir Wagner

HOW WIERD IS THAT?? If anybody else got this email please post it because I dont want to feel like I am the only bumm out there giving my email. Hay! I dont even give it out to anyone!!! Its soooo crooked!!

Hey everyone!!!
We're here in Ann Arbor having an awesome time. it's really cold, but it didn't snow yet, we pray for it every day. We had a crazy day traveling, with two stopovers and we came in at 1 am, the night before camp. We woke up 10 min before camp started, and even though we were sleep walking, i guess we were over tired we had a great time. The kids are adorable and we went ice scating, glow golfing...... Time is flying!!

After camp we went on wooden sleds down ice hills, it was crazy, went out to eat ...... Then at 2 am we got dressed up and walked up and down the streets...
Now were in a mall using the computers and we'll keep you posted.......

I hope everyone else is having a great time...

Love, Mushky, Mushk, Batya and Chaya
We'll see you soon, don't miss us too much!!!!
