Inheritor passes on millions due to Chilul Shabbos
Behadrei is reporting on a wild story of an inheritance that didn't happen..
According to the report, an avreich in the Kollel Chazon Ish in Bnei Braq was set to receive an inheritance worth tens of millions of Euro. This fellow is originally from France.
According to the report, his father was a hotelier, owning 20 luxury hotels. He himself was religious but some of the other relatives are not. While the report is not clear on this, it seems that some of the partners are not religious and not everything done int he hotels was done necessarily according to halacha.
The father closed a massive deal and updated his will. The son, when it came his turn to sign to receive his inheritance, asked rabbonim in Bnei Braq what tro do as he was not willing to receive inheritance money form chilul shabbos activities. After researching the matter he was told to forgo the inheritance, difficult as it may be.
The other inheritors tried to come up with various clauses and wordings that would allow him to take inheritance, but he refused as per his principles.
Wow

Hard to believe, the article should have had some names. French millionaire who owned 20 hotels. Should have been well known.
ReplyDeleteOrthodox French millionaire that owns 20 luxury hotels? If any such person exists, every single Orthodox fundraiser in France (for instance any of the tens of Chabad shluchim) would know of him.
ReplyDeleteGuess who owns or owned the Waldorf in Yerushlayim
ReplyDeleteAnswer: A French Jew who is very much alive and owns 3 luxury hotels, not 20.
