Timely payment – Ki Setze

Devorim 24:15 “ B’yomo Teeten Secharo” – “He should be paid on the day of his work”.

 

Plans were complete for the Chofetz Chaim’s trip from Radin to Warsaw. It was the middle of a very harsh winter and the distance was very great. Just as the Chofetz Chaim was about to leave, his coat snagged and tore badly. Immediately a member of the family rushed to the tailor to have it repaired, and it was hastily sewn. Meanwhile the wagon driver waited anxiously to take the Chofetz Chaim to the train station. The snow covered the ground and it was a difficult journey just to make it to the station on time. They arrived at the station moments before the train was due to pull out. Suddenly the Chofetz Chaim exclaimed:

“We must return immediately!”

“Why?” replied the perplexed wagon driver.

“I have not yet paid the tailor for his work.”

“But it has taken us almost an hour to get here and the Rav will miss the train if we return now” responded the driver. “Give me the money and I shall personally deliver it to the tailor.”

However the Chofetz Chaim was adamant that he do the mitzva of paying the tailor himself, so with no other choice the driver headed back to Radin!

JEWISH LAW TIP

The Chazan leading the High Holiday services should be someone who    devotes his life to Torah, is married and at least thirty years of age.  A younger, unmarried man who devotes his life to Torah takes precedence over a married, older man who does not devote his life to Torah. 

No one should serve as Chazan on the High Holidays without the congregation's approval.  A person who sued another Jew in a secular court without authorization from the Rabbinical court, or someone who did not regularly attend synagogue services during the year, may not serve as Chazan during the Yamim Nora'im.

 

Have a great Shabbos!
