All my life they ask in my home: What will be? How will we marry off the children? And I answer that we have a third partner, and this is His concern. I work and I learn Torah and I do what is within my ability. Of course, if I had the possibility to put something aside, I would do so, but life did not allow me to.
And it came to pass one day that an uncle decided to purchase an apartment for my youngest daughter, who found favor in his eyes. The aunt found a project that seemed suitable to her and signed a contract. I was asked to assist with the procedures and to represent them with the real estate agent in all the paperwork involved in purchasing an apartment. The very suggestion and willingness of the uncle caused us absolute astonishment.
On one of the days, the uncle received a phone call from the sales office to inform him that that day was the final day to pay the voucher we had received. The uncle called to notify me, and I did not know what to do, for this was not something I was familiar with, and there had been a misunderstanding between the sales office and the uncle regarding the initial payment. I finished learning in my regular seder despite the mental tension, and I went to the bank in my city of residence in order to pay the voucher. But then I encountered a problem. The uncle could not pay for my daughter, who is not an immediate relative. I had not yet had time to be frustrated when a pleasant man approached me and asked if I had the voucher in hand and my bank card. I answered in the affirmative, and then he surprised me and explained that through the machine it was possible to deposit and pay the voucher without any of the legal delays of the bank. He helped me fill in what was needed and even assisted me in paying at the ATM. I was astounded at the goodness of the hashgacha. HaKadosh Baruch Hu arranged for me a man who, it turned out, was a senior mortgage advisor, who happened to be at the bank for a client, and Hashem placed it in his heart to help me with a smile...
It was an instructive lesson, that one who accepts upon himself the yoke of Torah, the yoke of worldly burdens is removed from him, in the most literal sense. Without that pleasant advisor, I would not have succeeded in paying that very day, which would have incurred penalties. And here I had a not-easy test to complete my learning seder before turning to mundane matters, and I saw the blessing with my very own eyes. ב.ש.
