A Contract with Reb Shmuel’s Check

Reb Yitzchak Sheinfeld, a contractor, related:

My father, the well-known philanthropist, Reb Moshe Chaim Sheinfeld, a contractor of note in Bnei Brak, already knew that when talmidei chachamim and prominent rabbanim came to him to purchase apartments, they brought as a deposit a check from Reb Shmuel Daskal. The checks were usually written out for a tenth of the value of the apartment!

This became routine, as he got used to signing contracts with Reb Shmuel’s checks.
