Middah & Middot of the Month - Generosity
A man came to the Brisker Rav before Passover and asked
"Is it permitted to use milk instead of wine for the Four
Cups" that are drunk at the ritual meal The rabbi took
five rubles from his pocket and gave them to the man.
The rabbi's wife asked, "Wouldn't one ruble have been
enough for him to buy wine" "Perhaps," responded the
rabbi, "but from his question, it was clear that he didn't
have money for meat either, for one can't eat meat and
use milk for the Four Cups. Therefore, I gave him enough
money for both meat and wine for his Passover meal."
'Rabbi Yitzhak teaches: "Whoever gives even a small coin
to a poor person receives six blessings, but whoever
accompanies his coins with kind words of reassurance
receives eleven blessings."' -- Bava Batra 9b
