tell you a really cool story. This happened uh pes on Kaneka it was the second or third day of Khaneka I went to the cola where I learned in the mornings and um it was just me and another guy in the cola one of the younger in the cola so he told me he said he he said I have to tell you misa he said last night I was here and in the back of the base magister was me and another guy the other guy was a balabus so the balabus sitting in the back asks me a question a haka question because I didn't have the answer to the question but we started discussing Meanwhile, this yeshiva bakar walks in um 15year-old kid hears the conversation and says, "Oh, the is as follows. He happened to be learning or whatever he knew here." So the balabas in the back of the back of the base says, he said, "I was so impressed with this boy." So he said, "What's your name?" He comes, he says, "Here, I want to give you." He pulls out $50 and he says, "Here's $50." So the boy says, "I don't want to take it." No, no. I want you to take it. I want to take it. No, I don't want because I'm so impressed. You know the he says, "I don't want to take it. I don't want to take it." He fight. He's pushing pushing. The boy would not take it. Meanwhile, he's looking at the boy. The boy's shoes were like disheveled and ripped or whatever. And his pants were he looked like, you know, now it could just be, you know, he's a good yeshiva bucker and like, you know, just hasn't like, you know, he's got like nine other chains of clothing, just hasn't like used them yet, you know, but but that's not what that's not what this assumed. He looked at him and he said, "The kid could use the money." and he and the boy would not take it. So eventually the boy said fine he took it and then he said and now I want to give you Khan guilt and he gives it back to the balabas and he wouldn't take it and he leaves this this balabas says to the kungalite that was there he said to him can you find out who this boy is I want to first of all he said I could see he doesn't have he doesn't have he doesn't have like his clothing I want to give him I want to give him clothing so he says to so he says to the cola guy he says what does it cost for a new for a new set of clothing. He says it depends who's buying it. He said, "Are you it's clothing for you, clothing for me?" He said, "You know, we we have different uh" He said, "What does it what does it cost to get kids clothing?" So, he tells him, "Okay." He says, "You know what? I want to give him $2,000. I'm giving $2,000 to get this kid new clothing, new shoes, new suits, new clothing. Find out who find out, you know, whatever. Get contact. Let's give it to him." So, the So, meantime, he he's he's reaching out. He says, "Okay, I got in contact. I got in contact. I know who it is. I I'll get the money to him. He says, "Okay, I'm coming with cash tonight. $2,000." He said, "One second." He said, "Who is this kid's family?" He said, "His father's a rebby in some out of town place, whatever, and big family. You know, they're not not in a great financial situation." He says, "Okay, I'm giving $1,000 a month for the next 12 months to this family." He said, obviously all anonymous. He said, "Find out find out how do I do it?" He said, and this is what I'm giving this the K col guy says to me, he says he said last night, he said, "We're sitting in base measures. This whole thing happened." He said they we just had and this boy comes over just to answer. He says, he gives the answer to the Shila and doesn't want to take $50 walks out with $14,000 giving being gifted to his family. He said, and he said this morning, he said the the the boy the father that father who was given the $12,000, he said, had a another baby boy this morning. and another baby born to the family. Now to me the like he has no idea who this kid is the nothing. Does he did he have to go that extra mile to find out the boy looked disheveled? Okay, look disheveled. Fine. Look disheveled. So what? So someone we see people all the time who look disheveled. So maybe if it was a family member, a close friend, we would be concerned. We want to make a little donation. We want to help them out. will do it quietly. But a complete stranger looks disheveled and you're going to go give thousands and thousands of dollars. This is just a way of going above and beyond feeling seeking out ways to come together the like like the one mishbah they were supposed to be in such a special way.
