A wealthy man who lived in a large city was told by a friend that if he wants to live forever, he should move to a neighboring small and impoverished town. “Are you telling me that the מלאך המוות doesn’t have שליטה in your town?” he asked. His friend replied: “The מלאך המוות has שליטה everywhere,” his friend responded. “But I have a קבלה from אבותי ואבות אבותי that from ימי בראשית until today the town has been so poor that no rich man ever died there.”
