The Gaon, Rabbi Yosef Ohev Tzion, shlita, of the great expositors of Torah of the Bet Haknesset of the Mosaioff neighborhood in Jerusalem, recounts one of the many anecdotes that he witnessed:
Baruch Hashem, for a long time now I have enjoyed the merit of giving a shiur to the public every week about the wonderful chidushim of Rabbeinu, the author of the Zera Shimshon. And, in fact, there are many who have told me that they come to Bet Haknesset specially to listen to the words of the Zera Shimshon and merit its blessings.
Recently, one of the participants of said shiurim called me very scared. He told me that his baby had fallen out of the crib and had received a very strong blow. With great diligence he had taken the baby to the hospital, where extensive and exhaustive examinations and X-rays were performed, but these only revealed a worrying diagnosis. The doctors expressed the fear that the baby suffered internal damage due to the blow. The father of the baby called to ask me what he could do for the recovery of his son’s health.
I instantly replied to the young father that he already had many merits on his side as he was one of those who studied the Zera Shimshon steadily and the blessings of the author surely fell upon him. However, he could increase his merits if he donated a sum of money to the World Organization for the Diffusion of the Torah of Zera Shimshon, and thus he would have a share in the merit of the increase of those who study the Zera Shimshon. And there is no doubt that, with that increase, he would be doubly deserving of the blessings of the author.
And from words to deed: that father immediately proceeded to separate a generous sum of money that he promised to give for the dissemination of the Torah of the Zera Shimshon, leiluy nishmat of the Tzaddik and Mekubal, Rabbi Shimshon Chaim son of Rabbi Nachman Michael Nachmani, zatzal.
After only a few days, the father of the baby called me again and notified me that, baruch Hashem, after all the tests and X-rays that the doctors recommended to do, it was clear that his baby had not suffered any harm. The father was sure and confident that it was all due to the merit of the author’s blessings, and that the increase of those who study the Zera Shimshon was the merit that was on his side so that he could see the salvation of his baby.
I want to emphasize that I have had the merit of hearing from many people who have received many salvations thanks to the merit of the Tzaddik, by studying his book. So, I warmly recommend anyone seeking Hashem Yitbarach to join the legion of people who fulfil the author’s request to study his work. Thus, b’ezrat Hashem, everyone will enjoy the fulfillment in them of the blessings and salvations assured by the author Tzaddik.
