Something incredible happened in our office. A routine phone conversation became a moment of excitement and thanksgiving. A dear Yid made a significant contribution for the dissemination of emunah and bitachon. But the story did not end there.
A few hours later the phone rang once again. The man related that several hours after making that donation, he was miraculously saved from a terrible car accident. In tears, he explained that in retrospect, he saw his donation as a protection for him, as if it were a kami’a, and he immediately decided to express his thanks to Hashem with an additional donation of the same sum.
Soon we are going to be celebrating my son’s bar mitzvah, and along with the feelings of joy that flooded me, there was also a certain heaviness; I hadn’t a notion of how to begin. As a constant listener to the Hashgachah Pratis phone line, especially to Rav Mandel’s shiurim, I drew encouragement. I decided to adopt his idea and to give thanks to Hashem. I must tell you that I subsequently saw a truly miraculous yeshuah — sums of money started flowing in, in unexpected ways, and with Hashem’s help we will celebrate a perfect simchah, with great joy.
