I own a printshop in Yerushalayim. Each day flyers, notices, pamphlets and more come off our machines. Last Thursday, the management of the mosdos of a certain community called and asked me to print pamphlets for them.
“Gladly,” I told them. “If you send the material by noon, it’ll be ready for today, and if you send it afterward, the pamphlets will still be printed today, but, as you know, when we print pamphlets there are empty margins, and in order to give them a nice look, we need to cut off these margins. This is done using another machine, and it takes time. If the material comes after noon, I will not have time to do this part today, only tomorrow.”
“No way!” they reacted, and sought out another printer.
The next day, Friday morning, a friend from Beit Shemesh who also owns a printshop called me. “Could you print pamphlets for a shul today?” he asked.
“For the X Institutions from Yerushalayim?” I guessed.
“No, no, they actually asked me to do some work for them, but I’m busy now, so I can’t do work for another shul. Do you want to print the pamphlets for them?”
He gave me the phone number of one of the gabba’im. I spoke to them and explained that in such a short time I could not cut off the margins.
“It’s okay this way too,” they responded. “The main thing is that the pamphlets should be ready.”
I was amazed at how Hakadosh Baruch Hu runs His world. How He moves clients from one printshop to another, and how he sends each person the work that suits him. Even if someone decides that I am not suitable for him, I don’t need to worry. Hashem sends me the exact work that suits me.
