When a man dies in a tent

ליקוטי שמואל | June 27, 2025

What happened! Dear Jew, Rabbi David Glick zt"l – he had a "wallpaper" shop opposite Itzkowitz. Every day before the shiur (of Rabbi Simcha Kessler zt"l) he would lock the shop and go to study. And one evening, fifteen minutes before the class, a man came in and said that he had several deals – he wanted to buy such and such different wallpapers (he was covering the walls of an entire institution, etc.). "Wait a minute, sir, I only have fifteen minutes, and I see that you are going big, and fifteen minutes is not enough, so I ask you, do it tomorrow." No! No! Give it to me," he begged, not heeding his pleas and starting the business. He took off the rolls for himself, and immediately it seemed that he was indeed a serious buyer, he was going to buy "a piece worthy of honor..." Well, the hour was approaching. "Do you remember what I told you – at seven o'clock I close!" said Rabbi David. "What are you just urging me to do, it's an urgent purchase, leave me alone." I'm closing!" declared Rabbi David. "The buyer went up again and took down a coil, chose fifty meters and one more color, I need a few more colors." Seven o'clock came, "Sir, I'm closing the store!" "Wait, what are you doing to me! No way!" "Well, you know what, I see that just choosing shades and colors will take you another hour, then, I don't care, take the key, stay in the store, do as you wish, check, measure and I'll be back in an hour and a half, because I'm going to the class at any price! To my rabbi's class." Why are you suddenly giving me a key?!" He didn't know him at all) looked at him strangely, "Are you going to leave the key in my hand?!" (After all, the entire store can be emptied and it will remain tooth and nail). But on the way out, Rabbi David handed him the key.

Rabbi David goes out, gets on his bicycle outside to ride. When he got on the bike, the man skipped after him. "Hello, wait a minute!" he cried. "There's no moment, I'm going, that's it." Not just a moment on the clock. "Well, what do you want?" I don't buy anything, I'm from the Income Tax Audit to check your loyalty, "I want to tell you a person who is willing to take so much risk, give up so much, and also give a key, you don't have any criticism today, everything is smooth. Well done to you!" "When a man dies in a tent!" God will help us, the wise will hear, and Yosef will learn.
