No One Listens To Me And Loses

ליקוטי שמואל | June 27, 2025

No one listens to me and loses" (published in an issue by the Kadosh Heikhalach Society of the Belza Chassidim in Safed, received from the company "And My Temples Will Be Feared"). Avrech shares with the readers a story full of faith that happened with him on Friday, Parashat Teruma, 3 Adar 1, 5779, and this is how he relates, as published by the Darsho organization: I had to buy a Materna for the baby, but my pocket was empty and I did not have a Leforte worth even a penny. The loan options have also been fully utilized, and my heart is full of worry about where my help will come from.When I entered the beit midrash for morning prayers, my mind and mood were from me onwards. I am a Jew and I must pray, but immediately after the Shemoneh Esrei, even before the return of the Shatz, I will fold up and lift my legs, I thought. Blessed is he who comes to Zion, I will already complete the way of my arrival... I don't know where.

I stood up to pray the Shemoneh Esrei, and in the blessing of "Shema Kolnu" I realized that I had an address. After all, this is what is written there in the prayer for sustenance: "You are the 'G-d, who nourishes and sustains and sustains from the horns of rams to the eggs of lice,'" why should I not also ask: "Bring me lawful bread and provide me and all my household with my food," etc., and I also added a prayer of my own: "And she sent 'Materna' to my little children."

In the meantime, the thought strikes me: I am actually standing before the king and asking for myself, but I plan to escape from here in a moment?! I immediately decided to stay until after "Aleinu Le-Shevah" and not even to take off my tefillin until after the prayer. After all, it is written in the books that the end of the descent of abundance is in "Aleinu" and how will I escape first?

At 11:30 A.M., I called a dear yeshiva student with whom I was in good contact to consult on a certain matter. At the end of the conversation, he asked me, "Can you credit me with tithes?" At first I didn't understand what he meant and thought he wanted to get tithes from me, so I hurried to apologize that I didn't have anything.But he immediately corrected me and said to me: "I meant to say that you will merit me and receive from me the tithes in my hand." It should be noted that I did not speak to him about the Materna, and he does not even live in my city to know my situation, and this was an innovation that even occurred to him to give me the tithe.When I expressed my agreement to accept the ma'aser, he told me that he would make a transfer to my bank account. It turned out that his account was held at the same bank where I manage my account, so the transfer could be seen immediately, and I could go and withdraw the money immediately. I went to the bank and saw that he had deposited no less than 400 shekels, and I immediately translated it as 'Materna' multiplied by eight...It is said about this, "No one hears Me and loses." I nullified My will because of His will, and He behaved with Me beyond the letter of the law.
