טיב הקהילה English | June 27, 2025

On Purim, I wanted to send Mishloach Manos from Ramat Aleph in Beit Shemesh to Ramat Dalet. On a regular day, that’s a half-hour bus ride, but on Purim it can take up to two hours with all the traffic jams.

I asked a friend to do me a favor and take it with his car, and he agreed, but I could see on his face that he wasn’t too happy with the request.

I felt that it wasn’t right on Purim to send Mishloach Manos at the expense of someone else’s discomfort, and I asked Hashem for a solution to this matter. Not a second passed, and I saw the very person I had wanted to send the Mishloach Manos to standing right outside my building! I quickly ran and gave him the Mishloach Manos with joy and gratitude to Hashem for His amazing solutions!
