Blank Check

Rabbi Avraham Felberbaum of Kiryat Vizhnitz Bnei Brak related:

My father needed to undergo an operation in America, paying privately, as he had no insurance there. We had no idea how much it would cost, but we knew that it would be a huge sum.

Distraught, I appealed to Reb Shmuel for help in defraying at least some of the costs. I was stunned when he took out a check, signed it, but left the rest of the check blank. Then he told me, “Go to America and have the surgery done. Then fill in the amount that it costs right here.”
