When ר׳ אייזל חריף went to the home of a wealthy member of the community to request a donation for צדקה, the עשיר nodded and said: “You shouldn’t have bothered coming to see me. Don’t you know that I’m one of the בני נח? The רב understood that he was referring to the comment of חז״ל in today’s דף that ׳בן נח נהרג על פחות משוה פרוטה.׳. He responded to the גביר by saying: “Its fine to be a בן נח, but נח had three sons, שם, חם, and יפת. Why did you choose דוקא to be מבני חם?”
