You Are the Son of Holy People

Reb Yitzchak Beirach Daskal related:

When I married off my daughter, Harav Menachem Ernster, Rosh Yeshivas Vizhnitz, came over to me and said, “You should know that it was very hard for me to come to this wedding. I’m coming from the million-man demonstration in Yerushalayim [which was held by chareidi Jewry to protest the draft of yeshivah students]. I was there for many hours, in the heat, and I’m very tired. But I came here with mesirus nefesh to honor your father.”

He then remarked, “You should know that you are the son of truly holy people, because the unbelievable acts of tzedakah that your father performed are unparalleled.”
