It happened suddenly. In one second, my daughter collapsed and lost con- sciousness. The ambulance rushed her to the hospital, but the doctors were not optimistic. During those stormy moments, as my heart was pinched in pain, I promised: If my daughter recovers, I’ll establish a center for the distribution of the Hashgacah Pratis newsletters. This would serve as a source of strength and comfort for people in pain, and strength- en their emunah and bitachon in Hashem. Less than four days later, the miracle occurred: My daughter was released from the hospital, fully recovered. Hodu laHashem ki tov!
After two difficult surgeries, I was left in pain and broken. One night, I was writhing in pain, in tremendous agony, and I sought solace. I called the Hashgachah Pratis phone line and selected Rav Nachman Neihous’s shiur. To my surprise, the chosen shiur was about “accepting yissurim with ahavah.” That moment, I understood this was a Heaven-sent message for me. I did not have to listen to the shiur at all. Merely hearing the topic gave me strength to handle my pain. I hung up the phone with a feeling of enlightenment and serenity. The next day, with renewed strength and confidence, I listened to that wonderful shiur. Thank you all, and special thanks to the chashuveh rav, Rav Nachman Neihous shlit”a, for his clear presentation and pleasant shiurim.
