Come and take it

A little while ago I posted about a special individual named Yisrael Landesman who was stricken with cancer. For those who missed the post click here and you can view a video of him singing "Everything Hashem does is always for the best."

On Friday afternoon I received an email containing the following excerpt.

"When HaRav Hagaon Rav Yehuda Zev Segal zt”l was niftar 18 years ago a sign was posted on the bulletin board in Machzekei Hadas Shul in Manchester. It was a photocopy from a sefer that had a very important message for all of us.

The sefer said that when a tzadik leaves this world, he leaves behind all the treasure rooms of Torah and middos tovos that he acquired…whoever wants can come and take it.

That means that right now Reb Yisrael Landsman zt”l has left impossible-to-imagine treasure houses of Ahavas Hashem and Ahavas Yisrael.

As we come closer and closer to the Geulah, those who are wise would be smart to grab the treasure of Ahavas Hashem and Ahavas Yisrael that are waiting to be taken."
