WINE FROM THE WALL

The holy Kaminka Rav zt”l once sat with the Kaminka community at the Purim tisch. After a while, all the wine had been consumed, yet no one offered money to buy more for the seudah.

When the Kaminka Rav noticed this, he exclaimed, “I can show you how to take wine out of the wall!”

The crowd responded eagerly, “Nu, show us!”

The Kaminka Rav then said, “I cannot perform such a wonder for free. If everyone contributes a few coins, I will show you a miracle!”

Curious and excited, the attendees immediately placed coins on the table. Once all the money was collected, the Kaminka Rav declared, “Nu, now there is money to buy wine — I do not need to perform a miracle for nothing!”
