We know from Tzaddikim that the very telling of stories of Tzaddikim brings down good influences and salvations. Therefore, Chassidim and men of deeds were accustomed to tell stories of Tzaddikim to work salvations and to arouse the merits that were in those days and apply it to modern times. There were Tzaddikim who knew how to apply stories to every situation, the perfect story that would bring salvation to that particular tribulation. The three stories that are usually told before Pesach, Tzaddikim have revealed to us the propitiousness and the power to extend parnasah with abundance for the holiday needs.
After an introduction like this, I must relate a story that happened to my good friend:
My friend called me to remind me to tell the three famous stories on the yahrzeit of R’ Elimelech of Lizensk knowing that whoever tells them will make Pesach with abundance.
He also called me to remind me to tell the stories on Shabbos HaChodesh since there is a tradition to tell them then as well.
Since I know that his situation is not simple, I asked him to join me after Pesach to see how things went and what salvation came about because of the stories.
Before Rosh Chodesh Nissan that friend called me and told me this:
“A relative of mine came from overseas to Israel for Pesach. My wife and I discussed about inviting them for the Seder so that that they could have the proper atmosphere for the holiday. The next day I took out my cell phone to call them, when just then my phone rang in my hand and on the other end was the relative. Before I could say a word, he asked on behalf of his wife if there was any chance that they could come to us on Seder night so that they would have the holiday atmosphere. I was very pleased, and I replied that I was just about to call them to invite them, but he did not give me a chance to speak, and he said: “I will cover all expenses for the holiday, I am depositing in your bank account enough to cover all the expenses for the holiday in abundance!!!”
He continued to thank us, and he did not let me refuse. The next day there were 10,000 shekels in my bank account, enough to make Pesach and then some!!!
My friend was excited and even I saw the beneficence, and his relative was pleased for the simple faith and the salvation that came about. I got his permission to send the story to Tiv HaHashgacha since we decided that the story should be publicized.
