The Yenukah Knows how to make money .......

 

For those who don't understand Yiddish, this is what he says:

We arrived this morning on Tuesday in Rishon Lezion to pray at Yeinoka's.

After davening, one of the gabbaim takes the microphone and announces the opening of the Aron Kodesh! 

The opening of the Aron Kodesh?? Isn't today Tuesday, and not Monday, not Thursday, not Shabbat or Rosh Chodesh, what kind of opening of the Aron Kodesh?

I didn't understand what was happening there.

In the meantime, people in tshul are starting to throw sums away at this auction of who will be the lucky guy to open the Aron Koidesh! 

2000 3000 5000 10000 until the lucky man in the picture bought it for 12,000 shekels.

The narrator goes on to say, they say about a certain  Rebbe that knows how to make money and about another Rebbe that he knows how to make money, etc.,

  They should come here to Rishon Lezion and see how a person made 12,000 shekels even before he opened his eyes...

On a day that no one opens the Aron Koidesh!

I have been there from the states a few times.
Number one no one is asking anyone for money in order to get a bracha.
The Yenuka spends time with every mispalel after Tefilla no matter how long it takes never asking a dime.
They have a free standing building that is rented and costs a fortune to maintain, this is the only time they get some money for the rent plus expenses.
The one who buys pesicha has like ten minutes undivided time to speak to him any personal matters he wants to.
By the way the gabboim are all on volunteer basis they are all independently wealthy and dont take compensation from the organization.
