Noach – A Chicken on the Loose

 

Breishis 6:11 “and the earth was filled with “Chamas”

Medrash Rabbah: This refers to theft of an object of insignificant value.

 

R’ Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Rosh HaYeshiva of Etz Chaim in Yerushalayim a generation ago, was known to be a person of scrupulous honesty. One day as he walked in the street, deeply engrossed in thought, he by accident opened a gate and entered into a courtyard in Mea Shearim. As he walked in, a chicken took the opportunity to escape through the open gate into the street. R’ Issar Zalman immediately realized what had happened.  He turned around and began to pursue the hapless chicken. The scene was farcical. Here was one of the most renowned sages of Israel, bounding around and trying to catch a runaway chicken. However R’ Isser Zalman was not in the least concerned about the undignified behavior, and the loss of his honor. He was only concerned that his actions might result in a financial loss to the owner of a chicken, and he reasoned that he was accountable for that!
