Rabbi Corrects Blessing for Wealth at Torah Foundation Event

By משה ויסברג
Translated & summarized from Behadrei Haredim by baba
The story · English

A unique moment occurred during a private celebration for supporters of the World of Torah Foundation, held to honor those who sustain Torah scholars. Rabbi Dan Segal, a prominent spiritual guide, delivered remarks and offered a blessing to the attendees, wishing them "abundant livelihood."

However, Rabbi Reuven Wolf, chairman of the foundation, who was seated nearby, humorously interjected and corrected the blessing. Smiling, he suggested, "Wealth! Wealth! Livelihood is for the gentiles," implying that true prosperity and spiritual focus should be the aim for those supporting Torah study.

Rabbi Segal accepted the correction with a smile, responding, "Indeed, only one who is wealthy can say such a thing." This brief exchange brought smiles to the faces of those present and became a memorable and amusing highlight of the evening.

The event, which took place in an uplifting atmosphere with the participation of the foundation's donors and supporters, was documented. The short clip of the exchange, clearly audible, offers a glimpse into the candid and special atmosphere of the celebration and has since garnered attention.
