A Soulful Journey

The story goes in the Jerusalem Post Office that a letter comes in addressed to “God”.   The curious postal worker opens the letter and reads the sad story of a fellow in Tel Aviv, broke and unemployed, whose daughter is getting married, could God please send him 5000 Shekels to help have a wedding.   The postal worker, touched, raises 4500 shekels from his colleagues in the branch, and sends the money, anonymously, of course, to the poor father in Tel Aviv. Several weeks later, another letter to “God” arrives, with the same handwriting.  The postal worker opens it. Dear God: Thank you for the money you sent for my daughter’s wedding. Next time, please do not send it by mail.  Those no-good postal workers stole 500 shekels in transit. -Rabbi Daniel Goldfarb
