[Avodah] "Money Talks -- So Did the Donkey"

[T613K at aol.com]

From: R' Richard Wolberg 
>>The expression "Money Talks" has  always seemed to me, to reflect a  
tremendous cynicism, as well as not  the "means" but the "end."<<


 
>>>>>
"Hakesef ya'aneh es hakol" -- Koheles 10:19
 
It is an exhortation not to be lazy but to work hard and make money  because 
almost everything you need can be bought with money and almost every  problem 
can be, if not solved, then at least ameliorated, with money.   Money itself 
is neither good nor evil but it is unquestionably necessary and can  be used 
for tremendous good.
 
We sing on Motzai Shabbos, "zar'einu vechaspeinu yarbeh kachol."  We  Jews 
are very clear-eyed about the blessings of wealth, and do not scorn wealth,  
properly used.
