Baltosar, a wealthy resident of Zakrobat, resides in a massive fortress. Despite possessing thirteen boxes of gold, he takes pride in his frugal lifestyle. His neighbor, Yosef, is a hardworking cobbler who struggles to make ends meet. Every Friday, despite his poverty, Yosef visits the market to purchase a special item for Shabbat. Yosef is renowned for his festive Shabbat meals. One night, Baltosar experiences a terrifying dream in which his gold boxes come to life and flee to Yosef's house. Awakened in fear, he vows to never share his fortune with Yosef. Determined to keep his riches safe, Baltosar concocts a plan to protect them from his neighbor. However, things don't unfold as planned.
With a humorous and lighthearted tone, this classic fable explores the theme of generosity and the joy of Shabbat. It reminds us that material wealth is not the only measure of happiness and that the true riches a person needs are found in the kindness and companionship of others. The story serves as a reminder that true wealth lies in the spirit of giving and sharing, rather than hoarding and isolating oneself from others.
