SABBATH-REST Judaeus II Fuerstenthal, somewhat subdued by this outburst, continued to listen attentively as

Orlowsky spoke

:

"If I encounter serious anxiety in providing for myself and my family and sometimes find myself incapable of cop¬ ing with my problems, then I turn to our Holy Writings and seek comfort there. This I have always found. Just today, this morning, I chanced upon the 'Cast

alive although he died long ago. His uniqueness consisted of the ability to explain even the most difficult Bible passages by means of excellent parables. Here, the verse of the Psalms compares worry with a load, a burden, which we should cast upon G-d. The Maggid illustrated this with the following parable: "A

simple-minded traveller was on the road on a hot day, wearily lugging two heavy valises. When a horse-drawn wagon began to overtake him, he hailed the driver and begged him for a ride. The driver cheerfully agreed and the climbed in and seated the driver. About half

signs that he would have liked to end the conversation. Orlowsky continued : "If you are not thoroughly convinced of the fact that G-d, Who provides for every human soul, has sanctified and blessed the seventh day, then I understand your behavior although I cannot condone it. What I beg of you is nothing more than that you too give justification for my point of view and refrain from tempting me to forsake it. It would not help much to do so anyway. Every conscientious Jew is deeply and reverently attached to his G-d-given Shabbos. But aside from that, I once underwent an experience in this respect, which

He treated the peasants, who were his serfs, very cruelly and he was even more inhumanly brutal towards Jews. He had unlimited power over life and death in the entire region.
