I waited in line to go into one of the Tzaddikim to receive advice and a bracha. The man in front of me in the room of the Rav was about to leave, while the gabbai had already let me in. The man in front of me was consulting and needing advice for his son who needed help with his studies and asked for a recommendation for a certain professional in the field to help his son advance. The Rav said that he did not know a person like this, and the man should consult with someone who did.
This was not pleasant, but I was already inside, and he already had one foot out the door, and I heard the question and as it happened this is what is called in the holy language hashgacha pratis, I used a professional in that field to help my beloved son advance in his studies, and I was very, very pleased with him.
I did not hold back and asked permission to express my opinion. The Tzaddik was so pleased with the hashgacha pratis and said, “I thought to myself about the gabbai, why did he let someone else in before the first one went out?! After all, people often talk about personal matters, and now instead, I received the answer. I learned that even the gabbai who let someone in, there is a deliberate intent here!!!”
