אות - רפא

He strongly warned that a person should guard his money with very great and excellent care, and he was very insistent about this.[462] And he would mock and be displeased with those lazy people called in German "schleim-mazlnik" [easy-going, careless]. For at various times one would exhaust and nullify himself from Torah and prayer and would toil and labor greatly in order to earn money to support his household — and afterward when the money arrived he became "schleim-mazlnik" and pays no attention to it at all. For the honest money of a Jewish man needs guarding like the eye in one's head. And at every time that it happened that one of his people had lost some sum of money on the road and would come with a complaint before him — he would shame and rebuke him greatly for not having guarded it properly.[463] 462.
