V’Yivtechu B’cha yodei Shimecha, ki lo azavta dorshecha Hashem.
Those knowing Your Name will trust in You, and You forsake not those who seek You, Hashem.
Clearly, the concept of “knowing” Hashem's Name has profound meaning. It implies a bond that transcends any form of human relationship. We declare that we connect with Hashem in such a manner that nothing affects us other than our relationship with the Almighty.
Horav Yitzchak Zilberstein, Shlita, relates the story of young parents who had just given birth to a baby boy. Prior to leaving the hospital, the nurse informed them that the doctor wanted to x-ray the infant. He suspected that the child had a kidney infection requiring a few weeks of treatment with antibiotics, during which time the child could not have a bris milah.
The parents returned home, and the father went to the store to purchase groceries. He met one of the premier Rabbanim of the community (Bnei Brak) and related the situation concerning his new born. The Rav agreed that the bris should be delayed. He insisted, however, that the doctor take another x-ray to confirm that the infection was still present. Prior to the x-ray, the father and mother poured out their hearts to Hashem in prayer. They also resolved to commission a large banner upon which the words of the above prayer would be embossed and hang it over the entrance to one of the yeshivos in Bnei Brak.
Wonder of wonders, the second x-ray showed that the kidneys were in perfect condition; whatever infection had been present was gone. The child did not require antibiotic treatment, and they could go ahead with the bris. The young parents took the banner they had commissioned and hung it over the door to the hall where the bris was held. They shared their miraculous experience with all who attended, accentuating the verity that, when one firmly believes and trusts in Hashem, there is no limit to His salvation.
