Rich Man, Poor Man

The story is told about a rabbi who came home from shule one Shabbat, and his wife asked him: what did you speak about today?

He said: "I spoke about how the rich should give tsedaka to the poor."
She said: "How did the sermon go over?"
He said: "I persuaded half the congregation."
She said: "Really? Which half?"

He said: "The poor."
-Rabbi Jack Reimer

And when it comes to pass that the entire congregation will hear and understand the Messiah will step into the congregation.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
