Gavra, what’s wrong with a wealthy shviger?

Doesn’t everyone wish they had one???

Certainly not. Even those that have one would very possibly prefer just the Shver (by any means neccesary, including hiring Mr. Jonathan Teatime (pronounced “Te-ah-tim-eh”) to perform an inhumation), if they could get away with it.

(Enough Shvigger jokes).

DH: I have already decided on an alternative understanding. In addition, you are getting into dangerous territory by saying that one should not follow the actions of the Amoraim in the Gemorah because they were “singled out”. Who is to say that Shalom Bayis, Kavod Shabbos or a much needed break from yeshiva food should not apply to any specific individual? (Its similar to the earlier Machlokes regarding women and the individual vs. the the Klal. I don’t expect you to agree here either).
