Hashem Arranges Every Ride

Rabbi Golombeck went to the va’ad of his Rebbe, Rabbi Yehuda Mandel. It was raining, so he wanted to drive. However, his wife needed the van, so she dropped him off. He didn’t know how he would get home. Right when the va’ad ended, he saw a Yid walking towards him. Rabbi Golombeck asked, “Why are you coming now? The va’ad is already over!” He said, “I came to ask if you needed a ride! I want to ask you for a favor, so I wanted to do you a favor. I’ll bring you wherever you need to go!”   Read more: Sefarim From Shamyim

“I know! I’ll do the best hishtadlus,  I’ll leave it up to Hashem!”

Mrs. Weitz* was looking for an empty apartment for her son and his family for Shabbos. She made many phone calls to all different people that she heard were going away for Shabbos, but none of the apartments were available. She thought to herself, “What should I do? I did so much hishtadlus, but I still didn’t find anything!” Then she thought, “I know! I’ll do the best hishtadlus,  I’ll leave it up to Hashem! I am not making any other phone calls.” Later on that day, one of her neighbors called her up and said, “You know, I just decided to go away for Shabbos. If you know anyone that needs my apartment, I’ll be happy to lend it out.” Mrs. Weitz told her neighbor, “I need it!” Hashem found the perfect apartment for her! Read more: Bitachon #60

Undamped Simcha

Rabbi Golombeck had a flood in his basement, which caused a lot of damage, so he filed an insurance claim. He hired a public adjuster to make sure the insurance company would give him the full amount of money he needed to make the repairs. After the insurance company told Rabbi Golombeck how much money they would be giving him, Rabbi Golombeck started to regret hiring a public adjuster. He thought that the insurance company would have given him the same amount even without the adjustor, and now he has to give the adjustor 10% of the claim. Then he realized it was just his Yetzer Hara! Instead of being happy and grateful to Hashem for all the money he would receive, and that it was enough money to cover the cost of the repairs, he was regretting his decision. The Yetzer Hara was just trying to dampen his simcha! Shortly after he realized this, he received a message from someone who had not used a public adjuster, and the insurance company only gave them half the cost of what he needed to fix his damaged house! Rabbi Golombeck saw clearly that Hashem was helping him regain his simcha by appreciating the fact that he had hired the adjustor!   Read more: It’s All Kavod
