Mr. Klein owns a large chain of supermarkets. He spends all of his time running his
business and thinking about how he can earn more money. His stores are open on Shabbos, because he is
worried about how much money he will lose by closing them. He is always afraid that someone will open a
bigger, better store and put him out of business. As wealthy as he is, he never really feels
relaxed or secure.
Mr. Lichtman owns a large factory. Although he is also very busy, he always has
time to spend with his children and review Chumash or Gemara with them. His business is closed for Shabbos, and he
has a minyan for mincha right in his factory.
He runs his business carefully, but does not worry about temporary
setbacks. “The same way that Hashem
helped me up until now, he will continue to help me be successful.”
No matter how much effort a person puts in, no one
can earn even a cent more than what Hashem decided that this person should
earn. Each person needs to do what is
necessary, but must remember that all his work is only secondary. The important
thing is the blessing of Hashem, and this blessing is earned by being a sincere
Jew: Davening with a minyan, keeping
Shabbos in a beautiful way, keeping Kosher very carefully, educating children
by sincere, frum teachers.
