Members phkrause Posted July 27, 2015 Members Posted July 27, 2015 David Rosenberg, a collector of rare Jewish books ran into an old acquaintance named Chaim Yankel who told him he had just thrown away an old Hebrew Bible that he found in a dusty, old box. "You threw it out?! You can’t do that!” scolded the collector. “Just how old?" "Really old!" answered Chaim Yankel. “Like, really old. I mean, it could be a thousand years old, who knows?” “First of all, you can’t throw away a Chumash, it’s sacred!” said the furious collector. “Second, an old Chumash could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the right collector. What have you done?!" "Oh, don’t worry I don't think this book would have been worth anything close to that much," replied Chaim Yankel. "There’s Hebrew notes scribbled all over in the margins.” Alarmed the collector asked, “’Scribbles’? Any idea who the author was?” “My Hebrew’s not that great but it looks like somebody named ‘RASHI.’” Kevin H and B/W Photodude 2 Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
