"If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His eyes... All the sickness that I put in Egypt I will not put on you, for I am the Lord your physician" [15:26]. (And its fruit is sweet).
The influential Hagatz Rabbi Elimelech Biderman shlit"a relates: In one of the communities in the south of the country, there lives a yeshiva whose Torah is his art and in which he labors day and night. The yeshiva student is a groom in a respectable family from the Ramat Elchanan neighborhood in Bnei Brak, and from time to time he comes to visit his father-in-law's house. During one of the visits, the yeshiva student heard a sermon from the neighborhood rabbi, Rabbi Yitzchak Silberstein, shlita, on matters of eye care. In the midst of his remarks, Rabbi Silberstein quoted the words of the Holy Rabbi Aharon Rata zt"l, that when a person deserves a trial of keeping his eyes open, and he fulfills it, that time is a time of desire, and whatever he asks for, he will receive! The yeshiva student heard, put it in his head, and did not know how much it touched him.
One day, his youngest daughter, who was about eight years old, fell ill with a serious illness, L.A., and she was hospitalized in Be'er Sheva, and was diagnosed with a virulent bacterium of the most dangerous kind. The doctors tried to cope with it by various means, there were certain times of ascent, but mainly times of descent, until the girl was on her deathbed. He said to them: "You have seen that we have done everything in our power to save your daughter, and unfortunately, the situation is deteriorating. We have one more option to save her life, by means of a certain medication that we have not given her until now, because of the serious effects caused by its consumption. This medicine is given only when there is nothing to lose. But we have a small difficulty," said the director, "the medicine is not currently in the medicine warehouse at the hospital, and if we order it we will receive it only in two days. I suggest that the father go to Tel Aviv to the main warehouse. I will give him a prescription and you will buy the medication at this stage at your own expense. That way we can start giving the girl the medication today."
The father immediately organized himself and headed to the train station. After the train arrived in Tel Aviv, the yeshiva student set out to turn on foot to the address he received from the head of the department. He only takes two steps down the crowded street, and... His eyes darkened, the whole area was full of sights of breaches and arrows, when he could hardly turn his head. And then, suddenly, illuminated from heaven, the voice of Rabbi Silberstein shlita played in his ears, that when a person is facing the test of keeping his eyes, he can merit that all the gates of heaven will be opened to him and his prayer will be answered... The student stood there in the street of a city, his inclination trying to overcome him and stumble him, but he realized where he came from and where he was going. Where did he come from, from his daughter's hospital room, where she is fighting for her life, and where he is going - if he stands the test he can work for her a great salvation and a new life. The yeshiva student turned to the wall of the building next to him, bowed his head on the wall, and began to speak to God in his own words. He said, "Master of the world, why am I even here, dealing with such trials, after all, my place now was supposed to be in the beit midrash, next to the chavruta, but by the decree of the Most Merciful, full of mercy, a serious illness came upon my daughter, and it was around that the medicine would not be in the hospital storeroom. And that's why I'm here now. I ask You, Master of the Universe, for two requests: 1) Give me the strength to overcome my instincts so that I will not sin or fail. b) Give health and longevity to my little daughter." The yeshiva student spoke and was all crying, shaking like this for nearly twenty minutes, and suddenly, the cell phone rang in his pocket, bringing it back to reality. He looked at the screen and recognized that Naveh – his daughter was calling. He knew that she had stayed by the bed of his sick daughter, and he picked up the phone, but on the other side of the line there were terrible cries. The father realized that the worst had happened, and he burst into bitter tears. And so it's in Be'er Sheva, and it's in Tel Aviv, holding a cell phone and crying. The father tries to insert a sentence into the crying and asks, "When did this happen?" and the mother replies, "Don't buy the medicine, there is no need for it." And the crying intensifies and intensifies on both sides of the line. Only after she calmed down a little, the mother says: "Don't buy the medicine, the doctor called me and said that suddenly all the parameters changed for the better... In such a situation, you don't give medication with such effects. The doctor assumes that the medications that the girl received until now, suddenly started killing the bacteria after the situation only got worse for two weeks..." After two or three weeks, a thanksgiving meal was already held!!
