Y. B. Goldberger writes that he owns a travel agency, which he runs together with his brother, who lives in Union City, New Jersey. One day, he met with one of his clients in Jersey City. The initial plan was that after the meeting, his brother would drive in from Union City to Jersey City, and they would meet and talk in the grocery about matters related to their business. But that morning, his brother called him, saying, "We are having a seudah here [in Union City] in honor of the Bas Ayin. Perhaps you can come here, and we will discuss business here?" That arrangement saved them because they weren't at the site of the attack.
A similar story occurred with a chashuver yungerman who lives in Jersey City. He planned to go to the grocery that morning, immediately after shacharis, but when he saw that there was a l'chayim in the beis medresh, in honor of the Bas Ayin, he decided to stay, and they spoke about the baal hilulah. That is when the shooting began. The seudah, in honor of the Bas Ayin, saved him.
An older bachur (his younger sister had already skipped him and gotten married) used to go to a cheder occasionally to work as a substitute. (He was the only bachur left from his class, so he sometimes left the yeshiva to work in the cheder.) One year, on the 12th of Kislev, he was subbing at the Sadigura cheder in Bnei Brak, and during recess, there was a seudah in the rebbes' room. The bachur was inspired at the meal, and he announced so everyone could hear, "I accept on myself that if I find my shidduch before the 12th of Kislev next year, ד"תשפ, I will bli neder sponsor a seudah next year."
The melamdim told him, "Why don't you request that you should be married by next year the 12th of Kislev? Why do you limit it to becoming a chosson only next year?" The bachur corrected himself and said that if he is married by next year's yahrtzeit, he will pay for the meal. Soon after this kabbalah, he forgot about the matter. He became a chasan in Iyar, and they began looking for a date for the chasunah. From heaven, it was arranged that the chasunah should be scheduled for Thursday, the 11th of Kislev. The chasan took out his notepad to mark down the day of the chasunah, and he found in his notebook what he had written months before – that if he gets married before the 12th of Kislev, he will sponsor a seudah in honor of the Bas Ayin's yahrtzeit.
We heard the following story from the baalei maaseh, who lives in Tzefas with many children. Every year, their home became smaller and smaller. For a long time, they searched for an apartment that would be roomier for them. They toured many for-sale homes, but for one reason or another, they never found what they sought. As the Bas Ayin's yahrtzeit was approaching, in the year ב"תשפ, they read in these kuntressim about the segulah of making a seudah in honor of the Bas Ayin. The family made a kabbalah, bli neder, that if they find a home before next year's yahrtzeit, they will sponsor a yahrtzeit seudah in the Bas Ayin's honor. Baruch Hashem, during aseres yemei teshuvah, they found a suitable apartment, and the price was reasonable. Only, they would first have to sell their old home, so they can have funds to buy the new apartment, and they were having a hard time selling their old apartment.
At the beginning of Kislev, the owners of the new apartment informed them that if they didn't come up with the money in a few days, they would sell their apartment to others.
On Friday the 8th of Kislev, days before the Bas Ayin's yahrtzeit, the family made another kabbalah. They accepted that if they succeeded in selling their apartment in time to continue with the purchase of the apartment they wanted to buy, they would make another seudah in honor of the Bas Ayin in the following year, on the Bas Ayin's yahrtzeit, ד"תשפ.
On Sunday, a Yid from Bnei Brak came to see their apartment, and he agreed to buy it! It was truly hashgachah pratis that he came to see their home. He had come to Tzefas that day after a real estate broker in Tzefas told him to come, and he said that he would show him apartments. But on that day, the broker fell ill, and couldn't take him around. A friend of the broker’s knew of this family's home because he was a neighbor. In this manner, they were able to sell their home in time to finalize the purchase of their new home. The sales contract was finalized on 12th of Kislev!
It is worth noting that the baalas habayis told her neighbors and friends about the wonderful hashgachah pratis they had in the buying and selling of their apartment, and she told of the miracles that occurred after they made a kabbalah to make a seudah in honor of the Bas Ayin. Some of her friends also wanted to buy a new home, so they also made a kabbalah to make a seudah in honor of the Bas Ayin, and they also had their yeshuos.
