Rabbi Yossi ben Kisma once met a person while traveling who offered him a million gold coins, gemstones and diamonds if he would relocate to his city. Rabbi Yossi replied that even if he was given all the money in the world, he would not move out of his current city that was filled with Torah scholars, since when a person dies he is not accompanied by money only by his Torah and good deeds. | Rabbi Yossi ben Kisma once met a person while traveling who offered him a million gold coins, gemstones and diamonds if he would relocate to his city.
