Poverty suits him
I know the Aramaic phrase "ya'ah aniuta le'Israel". It means: Poverty suits the Jewish people.

Poverty becomes himhis
I'm not sure at all. I once encountered this phrase in a biblical context about an ascetic man who chose life of solitude, and poverty.
As I'm not even sure that I know the true meaning of the sentence in Hebrew, I just thought to post my feedback on this, maybe it will help.
