Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
Two men living in the same town came into significant wealth. Both decided to bury their fortune in their backyard. Each picked a landmark on their respective properties, paced 20 steps and dug a hole.Chaim, the more anxious of the two, kept looking over his shoulder to make sure there was nobody watching as he placed his treasures in the ground. By contrast, the more trusting Berel didn’t bother with such precautions. Unbeknownst to him, he was spotted by a dishonest neighbor who eventually stole his entire nest egg.
A week later Chaim the worrier, whose fortune was fully intact, decided to check up on his hidey-hole. By accident he counted the wrong amount of paces from the landmark and dug into the ground. Imagine his horror when he realized that there was nothing there.

The Rebbe says:
1. In this week’s Torah portion Hashem (G-d) commands us to take care of our brethren in need and loan them interest free money. Hashem finishes off this commandment by saying, “I am Hashem, your G-d, Who took you out of the land of Egypt…”.
Our Sages learn from this verse that, “Anyone who accepts the yoke of (the commandment regarding not taking or giving) interest, accepts the yoke of Heaven; and anyone who throws off the yoke of (the commandment regarding not taking or giving) interest, throws off the yoke of Heaven. This is because anyone who complies with the Mitzvah (commandment) of “Ribbis” (not taking or giving interest) also admits to (the fundamental principal of) our exodus from Egypt; and anyone who denies the Mitzvah of Ribbis also denies our exodus from Egypt”.
