Poznanski desired to have everything of the best quality in his newly build palace. He was so rich, that he decided to fill the floor with the golden coins in one of the many rooms. However, he could not decide either head or tail would be facing the floor. He went to the tsar himself to ask for the advice. Russian tsar has answered instantly:
"I don’t mind that idea Mr. Israel, please place the coins on the edge of the coin." Israel has never implemented this idea after all.

 

The architect showed up one day with a question.

- “Mr. Israel, what style would you like your palace to be built in?”

- “In what style??? In all of course” he shouted.
