Parnassah is from Hashem!

R’ Dovid Weinstein’s* grandparents were brought up with the hashkafa that in order to be successful in life, one needs to go to college. You need money in order to support your family. College, college, college.  R’ Dovid was brought up with everything is: Torah, Torah, Torah, Emunah and Bitachon, and that Hashem takes care of us.  When he was getting married, they asked him, “Nu? Does she have a good job? Does she have a degree? Does she have anything?” He said, “No, no, no.” They said, “Who’s going to support and take care of you.” He said, “I have an idea.”  They answered, “Well, how do you know she’s going to be successful?” His response was, “I don’t know, I didn’t think about these things; I leave it up to Hashem.” R’ David’s wife has a friend who had built a very successful business but was finding the workload too much to handle, so she decided she was going to give away the company. She said to R’ Dovid’s wife, “I’m offering it to you first.” And just like that, his wife took over the company. Usually, it takes years to build up a business, but she got it all in one second!  [R’ Zevy Golombeck] Read more: Amazing Hashgacha Pratis!

Yidden Love Each Other!

R’ Yisrael’s Braun* was called into his boss’s office. His boss told him, “Even though you’re a great worker, you’re not for my company. We don’t see eye to eye; I don’t like the way you do things. You need to find a new job.” Nevertheless, the boss who fired him gave him a whole goodbye party. He gave him a $1,000 bonus to show him his appreciation and how much hakaras hatov he has for him. Yidden are amazing. Even though he had to fire him, he gave him a thousand dollar bonus! After losing his job, R’ Yisrael was anxious and nervous. “What’s going to be with parnassah?” Then he realized, “It must be that this job was poison for me, and Hashem has better plans!” Right afterwards, he found a better job that offered much more money. It was better in every way imaginable! [R’ Zevy Golombeck]
