Calling for Divine Intervention<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I was visiting Chicago, I suddenly thought of my dear friend, Eliezer, who lives in New York. He is a most devoted friend. Whenever I would ask for various favors, he would always respond enthusiastically. He often sends me people in distress, so that I can try to help them out in the merit of my forefathers, zy\u201da.<\/p>\n

As I thought now of my good friend, thoughts of death and a funeral also entered my mind. I immediately called my secretary, Chananya, and asked him to contact Eliezer, requesting that he make an immediate contribution to tzedakah<\/em> for the poor of Eretz Yisrael.<\/p>\n

Chananya hurried to do my bidding. At the other end of the line, he heard the strains of Kaddish and then Eliezer\u2019s whispered voice, \u201cChananya, I cannot speak right now. I am in the cemetery, at a funeral.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. With the Gabbai, HaGaon Rabbi Chananya Shushan<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Chananya and I looked at each other in wonderment. We decided to put the matter on hold and phone Eliezer at a later time. Two hours later, I instructed Chananya to call Eliezer again. He turned to do as I asked. In the meantime, an elderly woman of about eighty walked into the office. She asked Chananya to help her fill out a form which she found difficult to understand.<\/p>\n

    In general, Chananya does not get involved in such things. But this time, he helped her fill in her family\u2019s names. Then she entered my office, to ask that I bless her family.<\/p>\n

    Chananya got through to Eliezer and walked into my room with the phone. I told him to order Eliezer to have all of the mezuzot in his house checked. I suddenly noticed the woman patiently waiting for my blessing. Among the names on her list, was that of Eliezer and his wife, Chana.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWho is Chana?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

    \u201cShe is my daughter in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

    This was none other than Eliezer\u2019s mother-in-law. Wonder of wonders! Just as I was asking him to check his mezuzot, his mother-in-law walked in, asking for my blessing for his family.<\/p>\n

    Hashem obviously wanted Eliezer to be doubly blessed. This was in the merit of the good deeds which he is always looking to do<\/em>.<\/p>\n
