Imagine that you purchased a second hand table under $ 200 and found a bag in a table with hundreds of dollar bills?
This is what happened to Rabbi Noah Muroff living in New Haven. Rabbi purchased an office desk on Craigslist - a site that sells second hand items; on the table they paid less than two hundred dollars. When they brought the table home the table turned out to be too broad and did not pass through the door.
Rabbi decided to dismantle the table and put it in his office when he noticed a plastic bag hidden behind a drawer. He opened the bag and found a treasure of dollars.
The rabbi and his wife decided to contact the seller of the table and it turned out that she hid her husband's inheritance in the table but forgot it. Rabbi returned the cache and local media reported the story. Rabbi said: "The most important thing is honesty and integrity".
