As my grandma would say,Besser tzu sein a guter Yid then a frumer Yid.That is the moral of this story.

[@zvidanyatvetski8081]

I was captivated, thank you so much for this

After Cantor Moshe finishes his story, the look in his eyes is so soft, and kind, and good, it is a pleasure to look on him. A groysn dank.

The moral of the story to me was that you should always feed and treat your guests well.

[@arielyaari4548]

No the moral of the story is that you never know what deeds can be for your ultimate good. The Rabbi who studied all his life (and learning Torah is one of the biggest mitzvahs!) ended up being sent to Hell because he did it for his own sake. However the shopkeep/hotel owner, even though he was far from a perfect Jew, he did those things out of the kindness of his heart. That doesn’t negate the performance of the commandments but it’s an interesting story nonetheless.

Is this story about his own parents, since he said he heard it from the bride herself and at the end he said he heard it from his mother😏

[@MusicPlaylistsChannel]

Anyways, it's pleasing hearing him tell stories!

You can imagine how surprised I was when I heard those names of those towns: two now in Romania , and one in Ukraine pronounced as people from Transylvania did/do. (I am from Transylvania.)

[@RenShank-z1z]

Which towns?

[@rabbiwolbergrambamshiur9673]

5:49 wrong translation, "groisvardein" is the name of a city..

Deep Thoughts: 'Mtoch Shlo Leshma Ba Leshma' did not materialize for the rabbi with all the heavy sforim
