I had the privilege of serving as a photographer for prominent rabbis who deliver lectures and speeches at various conferences and events. A major event is approaching—one led by the esteemed Mashpia, Rabbi Elimelech Biderman, in honor of the yahrzeit of the Bnei Yissaschar. I need two additional cameras of a specific type to properly film and produce this important event at a high level. These cameras are of an older model that is no longer available on the market. After extensive searching, I managed to find someone who lives far away and might be able to get them for me at a price of over a thousand shekels. I was disheartened and prayed to Hashem to help me obtain all the necessary equipment with ease.
“Before they call, I will answer”—I arrived at an event at the home of one of the Gedolei Yisrael to serve as the photographer. As I was setting up my equipment, I could hardly believe my eyes. Right in front of me was an open cabinet door, and on one of the shelves sat two cameras—the exact ones I had been searching for! I was utterly stunned by the sight that had just unfolded before me. I turned to the esteemed Rav, apologized for my boldness, and asked whose cameras they were and whether I could borrow them in honor of the event?! The Rav, who heard how much I had been searching for these cameras, was moved and said that these cameras were no longer in use by him, and that I could use them gladly and wholeheartedly.
The Rav further emphasized the hashgacha, saying: “This cabinet is never open, and today, of all days, I happened to need something from it and left the door open. Everything was orchestrated by Hashem’s personal supervision—especially for you!!!”
