Nothing To Be Jealous About

Pursuant to the previous post...

A communal activist once came to Rav Shteinman Shlita and told him that he wants to buy a fancy new car for his work but his wife is afraid that people will be jealous of him and it will bring an ayin hara.

Rav Shteinman asked: Do you know Shas?

The man replied that he did not.

Rav Shteinman then asked if he knows twenty blatt of Gemara-Rashi-Tosfos by heart.

The embarrassed man answered "Not exactly".

He then asked - "Do you know ten blatt of Gemara-Rashi word for word?"

"Ummmmm, not really".

"Well then", concluded Rav Shteinman, "there is NOTHING to be jealous about...No worry"
