My brother and I live in different places. One day the Rav of my brother’s kehillah approached me and said, “I wanted to ask if you could help out with a matter in which your brother is involved.”
I listened to what he had to say, and I heard for the first time that my brother was involved in For years I walked around with deep pain in my heart. I would walk in the street, enter a shul or an event, and feel as though I were made of air. When I spoke I would feel that no one heard me, and this hurt me deeply. I felt deflated and pitiable, as though there was no place for me in this world. A year ago, I decided to act: I joined the Hashgachah Pratis initiative as a partner, making a significant monthly donation to take part in the dissemination of emunah and bitachon. After I signed on this donation, a miracle happened! I do not know how to explain it, but my reality looks completely different. Suddenly everyone sees me; suddenly I have self-confidence. The feeling that I am invisible has disappeared completely from my life. My life has simply taken a turn.
