Illinois Yeshiva Students Return Money Strewn on City Street

For two Illinois Yeshiva Bochurim, an opportunity to make a Kiddush Hashem showed up at their feet, literally, last week, when cold hard cash was strewn across the city street in front of their eyes on Thursday morning, after it fell from an armored truck, without the driver noticing.

While the two initially tried to give the money to a passerby who was grabbing some of the cash, they realized that he was just someone trying to steal, and then noticed the armored vehicle parked across the street outside a Bank of America. 

“I thought the right thing was to give it back to the p[people that actually, it’s their money,” one of the students, Coby Kamish said. “This is the best day of my life, initially,” the second student Zev Goldstein said. “Yeah, I wish it could happen a second time.”
