Question
Rabbi, I think that in another 100 years your belongings will be worth a lot of money. Would the Rabbi be willing to sell me, and for how much, pens that were used regularly, signed books, a kippah, a tefillin bag, etc.?
Answer
Make an offer and I’ll consider it. Maybe we’ll start an auction. It seems to me a really good idea, to avoid Van Gogh’s situation.
Maybe I should buy a few pens and bless them.
Discussion on Answer
So far, tremendous success: not a single request for a blessed pen has come in.
I’m willing to buy your keyboard keys.
20 shekels per key.
I think this would be an excellent test of the success of what you’re doing here. If someone buys a blessed pen from you, that means he belongs to a very interesting cross-section: people who on the one hand think you’re a righteous man, and on the other hand don’t listen to a word of what you say 🙂
