A resident of Bnei Brak returned a large sum of cash discovered inside the walls of an apartment he had recently purchased, concluding a weeks-long dilemma that drew in senior rabbis and left the former owner visibly emotional.

The buyer, a student at the Slabodka yeshiva, uncovered 150,000 shekels during renovation work and immediately reported the find.

The apartment had belonged to a woman from Hod Hasharon, who had used it to care for her brother until his passing.
