PENNIES

[29a bottom] Abba Shaul collected remnants of wine and oil that were leftover barrels from previous sales, and the sages told him to use them for public needs (such as refilling public water holes or drinking stations along the road).

T’s lesson: We should always be scrupulous in our daily business and hold dear all our possessions. When tiny amounts are saved over long periods of time, we accumulate unexpected ‘new-found’ gifts. We should never cut corners (and throw them away) and remember to save even a penny each day!
