On Poverty

A philanthropist on entering a Jewish restaurant noticed a schnorrer, to whom he had given alms that very morning, regaling himself with a dish of smoked salmon. "Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" he asked.  "This morning you came to beg from me, and this evening I find you in an expensive restaurant eating smoked salmon." -"Well what do you expect?  When I haven't any money, I can't eat smoked salmon.  When I have got money, I mustn't eat smoked salmon.  When am I supposed to eat smoked salmon?"   -Friday Nite Book The truth of our faith is that one who is impoverished deserves to have no less than you.
