Harav Hagaon Moshe Nachshoni shlit’a, rav of the kehillah in Rishon LeZion, tells the following amazing story:

My righteous wife, Mrs. Sara Nachshoni a’h, passed away three months ago. Since then I have lived alone in my home. Last night, on Monday, the eve of 6 Teves, she appeared in my dream along with another woman, a relative who is also deceased. They were pointing in the direction of a certain shelf in the bookcase, and my wife asked that I organize the shelf.

I woke up, astounded. I am not a dreamer, and the visions in the dream were very clear. Nonetheless, I did not relate to it seriously, and I told myself that most dreams are meaningless. What was there to put into order on that shelf that my wife had pointed out? It was a very organized shelf. There were a set of Shas there and a few solitary documents – an ID card, medicines, and bank notes.

Although I understood that there was nothing to organize on the shelf, the dream disturbed me throughout the day, and in the evening I decided to check out what there was on the shelf. When I took out the documents I discovered a check there. At that moment everything became clear. That check, taken from tzedakah money, was given to me by a Yid I met at a wedding, and he’d asked me to give it to a needy family that was marrying off a daughter. When I came home from the wedding I put the check down on the shelf, planning to hand it over promptly to that family, but I forgot…

The second woman who appeared in the dream was the maternal grandmother of that kallah, the mother of the kallah’s mother, who so desperately needed money.

This was a true dream. I saw how important it is in Shamayim that money reaches the place where it needs to be. I saw how there is a connection between neshamos in the World of Truth and those in this world. It is awe-inspiring to hear and see that there is an accounting and there is a Judge, and there is hashgachah pratis over each and every thing that occurs.

May the publicizing of this story bring merit to the tzibbur.
