Rabbi Corrects Blessing for Wealth at Torah Foundation Event
During a private celebration for supporters of the World of Torah Foundation, Rabbi Dan Segal offered a blessing of "abundant livelihood" to the donors. However, Rabbi Reuven Wolf, chairman of the foundation, who was seated nearby, humorously interjected and corrected the blessing. Wolf suggested the blessing should be "wealth! wealth!" adding that "livelihood is for gentiles." Rabbi Segal accepted the correction with a smile, remarking, "Indeed, only a wealthy person can say such a thing." This brief exchange brought smiles to the attendees and became a memorable and amusing moment of the evening. The event was held to honor those who support the continuation of Torah study. The exchange, captured on video, highlights the informal and uplifting atmosphere of the celebration, which has garnered attention online.
