The miraculous act began with an unfortunate, even very unfortunate, event that took place in the city of Or Yehuda, in which a child fell into a deep cistern. The rescue personnel who rushed to the scene pulled the child out of the water unconscious and in a very serious functional condition, and rushed him to the hospital. The doctors explicitly expressed their opinion that "there are not many chances" that the child will ever function normally, and prepared the mother for a situation in which her son would remain a "vegetable" for the rest of his life.
At that moment, something happened. When the Jewish mother heard the doctors' words, she stood up and announced to everyone present: 'I swear that my son will wake up and continue to function as a human being.' The people who were there couldn't believe what they heard, and they looked at the mother, doubting astonishment, doubting compassion, and were sure that the difficult event had adversely affected her, and she was simply out of her mind. But what to do, this mother did not give the impression that she had gone mad, and seemed sane in every way. Repeating her words over and over again, that the doctors were so sure that her son would wake up and recover, which seemed to be completely contrary to reality, the woman once again said, "You will see that it will be so," and in the meantime refused to elaborate on the reason for her words. Suddenly, late at night, the boy woke up and regained full consciousness, and before the staff could digest the sight and the miracle unfolding before their eyes, the boy did something, and... He disconnected all the medical devices to which he had been connected since the disaster, got back to his feet, and all the signs showed that he was preparing to open the door of the ward where he was hospitalized and go home... And within a short time the boy was indeed discharged from the hospital, not before he had undergone all the tests, and it turned out that he was indeed completely healthy and whole, and the drowning in the water did not leave its marks on him.
The boy's personal file states that he was discharged home after a clear medical miracle that occurred with him. Now the doctors really couldn't help it, and they approached the mother and asked her once more where she had the strength and courage to express herself, and to swear that her son would come out of the difficult situation he was in, when he was healthy. At this point, the mother decided to appear before the doctors and tell her story. "I work in a holy and sacred profession related to water and purity. My salary is very low. This is barely enough to support my trips to the place of purity where I work. And yet, even though this work does not provide for my family, I continue to work there for many years, knowing that if I resign from my position, the state of purity will not be maintained, and things will not be conducted in the proper halachic manner.
The doctors at the hospital still didn't understand what the woman's words had to do with her son's miraculous rescue, and then the mother went on to say: 'After they called me and announced that my son had fallen into a cistern, I believed with all my heart that if I give my life for the sake of Hashem in the matter of water, in that holy profession, it is impossible for Hashem to punish me and my son in the water! It is impossible... And while the stunned doctors listened to the words of this woman of faith, the woman related that a few days ago she heard her husband study the Gemara in Tractate Baba Kama (50a) with his companion about Rabbi Nechonia, who also showed great devotion to the people of Israel regarding water, and there was a similar case with him as well. Thus the Gemara relates: "And so it is the custom of Nechonia to dig pits and caves, for he would dig and open and give it to the multitude, etc. The rabbis taught, in the case of Nechonia's daughter, who fell into a large pit, came and informed Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa (so that he could pray for her). The first hour he said to them, "Hello"; the second said to them, "Hello"; the third he said to them, "She went up." They said to her, "Who brought him up?" She said to them, "I happened to remember Rachelim, and an elder was his leader." He said to him (to Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa), "Are you a prophet?" He said to them, "I am not a prophet nor am I the son of a prophet, but this is what I said – something that the righteous person is sorry for, his descendants will fail." This, after all, is the "measure for measure" with which G-d manages His world. Therefore, every person in whom he is can acquire protection and shelter for himself because of the mitzvot to which he devoted.
Hence, the leadership can also be conducted in the opposite way. In other words, a person who needs Divine assistance in matters of health, or livelihood, etc., should devote himself to this matter and deal with it with his brothers, and help them in that matter, and then the rule coined by Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa will apply to him as well, "Something that the righteous person is sorry for, his descendants will fail in it?!"
