A teaching ofRav Meir Baal Hanessהרב מאיר בעל הנס

Asked by his students what would be left for his children after he gave a third of his weekly earnings to Torah scholars, Rav Meir answered that if they were righteous, then, as Dovid said, a tzaddik is not forsaken and his children do not beg for bread. If they were not, why should he leave his own money for the enemies of Hashem.
