Double the Amount

Hashgacha Pratis | December 10, 2025

An avreich from Yerushalayim relates: I was happy to see that a certain store had glasses on sale. It was an amazing 1+1 sale – perfect for us. I purchased two pairs of glasses, one for me and one for my wife, and only after I paid the sale price did I discover that the eye exam would be performed by a woman. I wanted to be stringent with myself; it’s proper to be stringent in such matters. I did an eye exam at another optical store with a male optometrist, for which I paid 250 shekels.

It would seem that I lost out, but no. That very evening I received 500 shekels from an unexpected source – double the amount I had spent on safeguarding my kedushah.
