You are looking at a genuine machtzit hashekel [a pure silver, half-shekel coin], such as was donated to the Holy Temple two thousand years ago for the various vital uses that all of you know well.1 I inherited it from my holy father of blessed memory; it has been a prized secret possession in our family for many many generations. So much of his time and energy in the recent years had been involved in the fight to protect the traditional Jewish way of life, and now the government decision was finally official; the right of the religious community to their own educational system would be securely ensconced in law. “Gentlemen, I truly believe that the inner purpose of this great gathering was that we should all gain a deeper perspective of the true meaning of the Mishna, ‘Judge everyman favorably.’2 If the search had been conducted and the coin discovered in our venerable associate’s pocket, is there anyone in this room who can honestly say he would not have judged that he had stolen my coin? That is the Divine Providence of the unforgettable events of this thanksgiving feast.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Source: Translated-adapted by Yerachmiel Tilles from Shemu V’tchi Nafshechem (#276), the teachings and stories of Rabbi Moshe Weber of Jerusalem, said by the Lubavitcher Rebbe to be one of the holiest and kindest people in the world, several decades before he passed away in 5760. 1875 C.E.)], known as the Ksav Sofer, was the son of the illustrious Torah giant, the Chassam Sofer, Rabbi Moshe Shreiber (1762-1839), and his successor as the head of the Pressburg Yeshiva, the most prestigious in the Austrian- Hungarian empire and the largest in all of Europe at that time. Feeling boundless joy and relief, he decided to sponsor an enormous celebration of thanksgiving, to which he invited the leading rabbis, Torah scholars and community leaders of Austria-Hungary, all those who had shared in and would benefit from the struggle. Without preamble, he announced that in honor of the occasion he wished to share something unique and thrilling with all those present; not only was it something they had never seen before, it was something they had never even imagined they would see.
