About 40 years ago my Rosh Yeshiva bent down to pick up a penny. One of the bucherim asked him if it wasn’t below his dignity to do so. The Rosh answered that if Hashem put it in front of him and he did not pick it up he would be showing he is ungrateful, and Hashem might think he is not interested in money and no longer send it. Then how would the yeshiva exist?
