This story happened at the start of this winter, 5783.

Chaim* was looking for a job. He had just completed a course which gave him the tools to work in the insurance field. He was competent and confident. But as he began his search, he realized that things were not as simple. Finding a position that was worth its pay, used his skills, and offered a suitable workplace was harder than he had thought. He scanned the classifieds, reached out to contacts, and really tried.

Finally, he came across an ad. The job description seemed to suit him well. With a tefillah on his lips, he submitted his resume. Lo and behold, the company got back to him and called him down for an interview.

It was a frum, all-men office. The atmosphere seemed nice and the conditions were really great. Chaim could already envision himself working in this place. He sat down to negotiate the details with his potential boss, who was frum, but belonged to a different community than Chaim.

“These are the job details,” the boss said, delineating Chaim’s future responsibilities. The pay he offered was decent, with room for potential growth.

Chaim was just about ready to sign on the contract, when he remembered one important question.

“What kind of filters do your computers have?”

“Of course,” the boss replied. “I am very careful about that,” and he named the filter company he worked with.

Chaim was not satisfied. The ke hillah he belonged to promoted a particular filter, under their supervi sion. “Perhaps we can work things out,” he said. “I must have the filter backed by my kehillah.”

The boss looked at Chaim. He was surprised. Why, his filters were on a decent standard! He seriously valued a pure office, following the guide lines of the rabbanim. What differ ence did it make?

But Chaim was stubborn. There was no way he could work on a com puter that had a different filter. Al though the boss couldn’t relate, he agreed to change the filter on Chaim’s computer. It would take some time. Chaim said he would re turn to sign the contract once that was done.

And so, Chaim left the office, still unemployed. With a lump in his throat but joy in his heart, he made his way home. It was the pure sensation of doing what was right. He would have to wait another bit before he would see a paycheck, if all went well.

The story really ends here. He felt a moment of strength, and that’s what counts.

But, it didn’t take long for Chaim to realize how lucky he was that he had the strength of character to follow his rav, to the T.

A few weeks later, the insurance company came under investigation for illicit activity, and all the employees were subject to a complex probe. The case came at a high cost for everyone involved. Chaim was spared the aggravation, still sitting at home and waiting…
