Okay everyone, one last personality that we're going to speak about the Rabi Abram Dansig who lived from 1748 to 1821. Rabbi Abram Dansig was also a mutin of the Vagin. So the Vigin had a mutiny Mis who's buried right next to him. Who remembers what year the go passed away? 1797. Very good. 1798. What year was that? to the year 1798. He also had a rabbi who wrote the now was a businessman. He was a merchant. He writes in the intro to I know people are murmuring about me. Is sh also another meaning is this a working businessman writing a safer we know you that you're a merchant in Frankfurt and Leipig for 15 years when exactly did you learn? Doesn't the Tyra say he you can't be a and be a merchant says he says my dear brother you should know that when I went to work it was not to amass wealth everyone could testify I traveled far but even as I was traveling I was learning even when I was sitting in the store I was learning even when I engaged in business my mind was always occupied in learning The kayodam came out in 1810 anonymously and he wrote there in his original hakama. The reason why he wrote anonymously is not out of humility because but the saferidum says that it may diminish from one's reward and he says don't wonder that this safer came from such a small individual from a worm comes silk from the worm
