A Treasure to Find

A long time ago, shortly before he passed away, a man told his three sons that there was treasure buried in their backyard. Even though they didn’t get along, the brothers immediately got to work. After digging and searching for months, they had torn up the entire yard and still not found a thing. What could they do? Rabbi Marc Katz retells the classic story.
