Avreich in Kollel Chazon Ish in Bnei Brak gave up an inheritance of tens of millions of euros from the family business, because the money comes from Shabbat desecration [Chillul Shabbat]. The Yungerman consulted with rabbis and decided to give up the money.

Heartwarming.
I am discussing in another topic the question whether this young man considered the possibility that the people making the money are a tinuk shenishba where Rav Yehuda Assad’s view is that their touch of wine is not nesach?
Does the avreich also not eat in his father’s home since his father purchased the food with the same tainted money that the avreich is refusing to accept as an inheritance?
I’m questioning literally everything about this.
maybe poskim advised him to take the money, but to say publicly that he did not to make his life easier?
Why are people reacting about the kiddush Hashem when it’s clear the article was very vague.
I also have my doubts about this story. The father and uncles did not do a melacha themselves. Even if they did, it would at least be permitted בכדי שיעשה .
If you believe every story, you are a fool. If you doubt any story, your a heretic.
But we need to recognize that the real hero if the story is his wife, who has supported her husband without any assistance from her husband’s family, public assistance (in Israel, which also comes from חילול שבת) or from the vast majority of Torah institutions that access donations without investigating their source.
How is the wife more of a hero than the husband, in regards to this inheritance story?
Maybe the money was made illegitimately in other ways. Noticr they don’t say which daas Torah advised him. Many yeshivas and other Frum Jewish causes took donations from mechalelei shabbos.
The wife is the one who needs to feed the family …
give it to me.
> give it to me.
everyone gets his own mazal. If you get his money, you also get his (possible) mafiozi brothers… who probably have other relatives who can come back to talk to you. That might have been a good reason to refuse the money.
