HaKadosh Baruch Hu gave us a son after seven girls bli ayin hara. The old baby carriage was junk, to say the least, and we had to buy a new baby carriage.
When we went to the store, we found out that a basic baby carriage which served our needs cost no less 3,500 shekels! An amount that was not affordable for an avreich [learner]... I conversed between me and my Creator in silent conversation with a request that I find the money to buy the carriage without having to deplete the bank account and go into debt with loans.
While I was thinking about how I would get the money, my cell phone rang. On the other end of the line was the mohel who was to circumcise my son the next day. He asked me if I needed a little financial help with the bris and the related expenses, of course I answered that I did. He then informed me that he had a sum of a few thousand shekels to cover the expenses!!! I was excited and I asked him how he came to the money for me and who do I thank for it?!
He told me the following story: “My sister works for a charitable organization. This morning she received a call from a donor who was making a bris on the same day as the bris of your baby, and he wanted to donate to an avreich making a bris on the same day. The receptionist replied that she did not know of an avreich making a bris on that day. My sister stopped her and told her to tell the man she would look around and get back to him, since her brother was a mohel. She called me and asked if there was a bris of an avreich on that day, and I had you!!!”
The seller who saw my hesitation because I did not know how I would get the money, heard the conversation and the great hashgacha, he was shocked by the swiftness of the hashgacha pratis, and said that many times people tell him that in the end an aunt or a grandmother pays for it, but he never heard a story like this in the middle of the store.
