We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

Subject: Story

Two brothers lived next to each other. One had an abundance of grain, but no animals; while the other had plenty of animals but no grain. One night the brother with grain took some of his grain to give to his brother. He had hoped to walk across the field unnoticed, and therefore avoid giving his brother any shame.

As he walked across the field he met his brother crossing with some animals to give to him in the same way. As they realized what was happening, they embraced.

It is on the spot of this embrace that the Temple was built.

This is a story from the Midrash
