I don't know where the source is in the Midrash, but there is mention of it in Gemorah. Beitza 15 says that " any money spent on Shabbat or Yom Tov or on a jewish education for childred will be refunded." On Shabbat 119 there is story relevent to this topic. -- Eli Posner {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!utcsstat!rao

Yom sheini leparshas beha-alosech, 4 SIVAN 5744, 48 days in the Omer. Ephrayim Naiman writes : >Does anybody know where the following Midrash can be found ? > "Any money spent 'lichvod shabbos' (to honor the sabbath), >one will get back." The gamarrah in Be-ah 16., at the top, says : "kol mezonosav shel adam kevutzim lo meirosh hashanah ve-ad yom hakipuim chutz meihotzaos shabbasos vehotzaos banav letalmud torah ..." The gemorrah continues with the story of shamai hazzaken who, when he found some 'good' ma-achal, would set it aside for shabbos. Hillel hazzaken, on the other hand, would eat it that day, saying, "baruch hashem yom yom". A Gutten Yom-Tov. Asher Meth allegra!cmcl2!acf4!axm9839

Or leyom shelishi leparshas beha-alosecha, 5 SIVAN 5744. (Yesterday was 48 days in the Omer - vehameivin yavin !!) A correction please on the gemmarah i quoted from Be-ah 16. That should read - "kol mezonosav shel adam ketzuvim lo ..." not " ... kevutzim lo ..." Sorry about that. Asher Meth allegra!cmcl2!acf4!axm9839

The requested source is the 'agadah Yosep Mokir S:abei (Joseph who honors the Sabbaths), Meseket S:abat 119 side 1. The punchline is: Ma'n deyazeyp s:abta' -- pra`eyh s:abta'. Whoever lends to the Sabbath -- the Sabbath will repay him.
