[Avodah] What did they learn in the yeshiva of Shem and Eiver

[Silverman, Philip B]

R' Zero mentioned that "Rebbi sent Ardeban a mezuzah,
and said that it would protect him; if he would not be doing a mitzvah
how could he get its sechar?"


A similar case just came up recently in Florida, related to the
Rebbe/Ardeban story:

crist_jewish_1018.html?imw=Y

A Jewish state representative gave Governor Crist a mezuzah, who hung it
on his office door, and "civil rights activists are troubled". 

A question to ask the gift-givers: "What would you do if Ardeban (or
Governor Crist) sent you a wreath in return?"
