There was a very wealthy person who lived in the neighborhood that was a tremendous miser and refused to give any sedaka. Once a rasha approached the altar and he asked him how do you get money out of this gir as many times as I tried I couldn't budge him and you always get a large donation from him and the alter replied I'll tell you the difference between you and me when you enter his home you take off your shoes you avoid sitting on his fancy sofa so you're showing him that his wealth and his possessions are incredibly valuable and then you ask him to part with it of course he refuses I on the other hand are walking with my muddy shoes I throw my briefcase on his fancy couch my message is there. Everything you own is worthless. But I'm here to offer you a deal of a lifetime. You can give me some of your worthless wealth and in exchange I will give you something eternal, something of extreme value, a sheer and limited. If you ask someone to give, they may hesitate. But if you present it as an opportunity to take, they'll jump at the chance and respond generously.
