ובא אשר לו הבית והגיד לכהן…(מצורע יד:לה)

A hysterical Yid once went to the “Imrei Yosef” zt’’l, lamenting that the oxen from his cattle were sick and many died, causing him to lose his livelihood.  The Imrei Yosef told him to check his tefillin.

When checking over his tefillin, the words “ולא יראה לך ‘שאור’ בכל גבולך” was missing the letter “א” and it was read: “ולא יראה לך שור בכל גבולך” – you shouldn’t see an ox in your territory.
