Story: Passing Through

Passing Through


A certain wealthy man visited the rabbi’s house while traveling through town. He was astounded by the stark simplicity of his home and furnishings. When he commented on this, Chafetz Chaim remarked that given the size of his suitcase, his guest also lacked belongings. The man exclaimed, “What’s the comparison, I’m on a temporary journey and take only what’s necessary for my trip.  But I’m heading home to a mansion replete with a multitude of rooms and furnishings!” To this the rabbi replied, “I too am only passing through and fear being weighed down by too much baggage. But I look forward to such a homecoming as you describe!”
