I am a kohen, so I davened in the place designated for kohanim. When I arrived, I met someone I know, a tzaddik and a chacham, who is also a kohen. (He is also my son's magid shiur). When I arrived, he was leaving, and we greeted one another. He said, "We meet in good places." He told me, "My son lives in Vienna, but I will be going to Kerestir until Thursday (Parashas Shemini, 26th of Nisan).
We headed back to Vienna, a six-hour drive. When we opened our bags, one of my sons shouted that he didn't have his tefillin with him. After thinking for a moment, we realized that he must have left the tefillin in the beis medresh in Kerestir. Then I remembered that the magid shiur is there. It was late at night, so I didn't call him until the next morning. When I called him in the morning, he said, "I am right now in the beis medresh and the tefillin is right next to me."
We saw Hashem's wonders. If we had arrived at the Yismach Moshe's kever a drop later, I wouldn't have met with the magid shiur, and I wouldn't know that he was there. Another hashgachah was that before we left Vienna (for our trip to kivrei tzaddikim), we heard someone ask whether there was a tefillin gemach for tefillin in Vienna. At the time, we couldn’t imagine we would need that gemach, but after hearing the answer, my son knew where to go to get tefillin until his tefillin arrived from Kerestir. When we went to pick up the tefillin from the gemach, we saw that the gmach is l'iluy nishmas Reb Shayah b'Reb Moshe of Kerestir. The tzaddik Reb Shayele takes care of his guests. Everything worked out wondrously.
