[Avodah] RE Expensive etrog inter alia

[Herbert Basser]

There is yerushalmi Peah 1:1 where someone had the ugliest etrog but bragged and showed it to everyone saying it was the most beautiful etrog in the whole world. It took him just a second to purchase it without really checking it for hiddurim-- he didnt waste his valuable resources (time) on petty matters but learned instead--that was its incredible beauty for him.


also see shmos rabba 30:9 for hashem's observance of halacha (I have a discussion of the inyan on reseachrgate.net)


Hag Sameach!
