סנהדרין טז

When the רב of a certain town decided to retire and move to ארץ ישראל, the people accompanied him to outside the תחום, even though he had been a very difficult person and they were glad to see him go.  Taking a last look backward, the רב remarked “What a wonderful town it is.”   Surprised, the townsfolk said “But the רב has always spoken harshly about the town and its inhabitants.”  “Yes,” he said, “but now that you’re all out of the town, it really looks wonderful.”
