The billion dollar bribe in Panama
THE BILLION DOLLAR BRIBE IN PANAMA Excerpt of a shiur given by Rabbi Eliezer Berland, shlita, on July 27th, 2020, Parshat Ve'etchanan. ==== When Sarah heard that she needed to give birth [to Yitzhak] in a ânaturalâ way, she nearly fainted. She got brain damage, she had a stroke, and Sarah cried out from her innards. Whatâs going on here?! Hashem said, no, because you laughed! She said: I didnât laugh! What, youâre arguing with HaKadosh Baruch Hu?! Youâre one of Shuvu Banim? Yes, you laughed, no you didnât laugh? What is this argument? She said: I only cried, I didnât laugh. ==== A MAN TRAVELS TO PANAMA, BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GOING TO GIVE HIM A BILLION DOLLARS. Two thousand five hundred dollars to go, two thousand five hundred dollars to come back. Three different planes to get there, three planes to come back. At the end, he says to him I went broke, the taxman crept up on me, Interpol confiscated the money, all kinds of different stories, and he comes back without a cent. He just cries. From all the frustration, instead of crying, he starts laughing. And so, Sarah also laughed. ==== https://ravberland.com/rav-pinto-stay-away-from-machloket/ Â
