Friend Arrives- with Bitachon

Mrs. Rosen* was feeling down and really wanted a particular friend, who always gives her chizuk, to come and schmooze with her. It was Shabbos, and her friend normally didn’t come by on Shabbos to visit her. Mrs. Rosen didn’t have the strength to go over to her friend; she was at a loss of what to do. Then she realized, “One second. Hashem is in charge. Hashem could put in her mind that she’ll want to come to me!” A few minutes later, her daughter came running over and said, “Mommy! I just looked out the window; your friend is coming!” Just like that, out of the blue, her friend came to visit her!(Rabbi Zevy Golombeck) Read more: Bitachon #41

Hashem is the Best Party Planner!

Rav Golombeck had the most amazing encounter with a very chushuv Yid, Shmuel, who works as an electrician, and he goes around fixing electricity in people’s houses. He told Rav Golombeck that three years ago he went to fix the electricity by a yungerman by the name of Efraim Rosen. While he was at his house, Efraim had ‘A Life with Bitachon’ playing on speakerphone. Shmuel was blown away by the Emunah and Bitachon! He asked for the number of ‘A Life with Bitachon’, and they ended up schmoozing for over one hour! He didn’t wind up going to anybody else that day. He was just so amazed by Emunah and Bitachon. He said that ever since that day three years ago, he has been following ‘A Life with Bitachon’ every day, and it has changed his entire life. He told Rav Golombeck, “Right now, I’m making a Simcha.” (It was his child’s aufruf.) “Instead of caring all the time what type of impression I’m making, being scared of this person from that person, trying to please and impress everybody. I say that I am here just to impress and please Hashem. It’s so easy to please and impress Hashem. Everything is from Hashem, and everything is perfect! Hashem is running the simcha and Hashem is making the simcha!” He said he was able to be so calm and relaxed with a smile! He never believed he could make a simcha so stress and worry-free! Just like having a party planner, he saw how Hashem was taking care of everything with hashgacha pratis from start to finish and everything in between!

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!

Amazing Hashgacha Pratis!

Mrs. Fischer* had a baby four months ago. One night her baby gave her a tough night. He was up most of the night, and she didn’t really have too much time to sleep. She works in the morning, and she usually wakes up early to make herself lunch, but she didn’t have an ounce of koach. She said, “Hashem, who is going to make me lunch today? What am I going to do?” When she went to the front door, she saw a five-course meal waiting for her outside! She was thinking, “Where could this have come from?”She noticed a note attached saying that her shul had a program that provides meals for kimpeturin mothers. They were giving it to her now, and she never actually received it when her baby was born. They gave her the lunch package four months late, exactly the day she needed it!

He got to the hospital and he couldn’t find parking, so he called the person who wasstaying with the patient, and he said, “I have your three packages, is there any way someone could come get it?” The man answered, “Sorry, I need to be with the patient, I’m not available to come down.” R’ Mandel said, “Okay, I’ll work it out.” He looked around, but there was nobody in sight who would be able to help him. He was wondering, “Who is going to bring it up? I can’t find parking, and there’s nowhere to park here.” He called up his wife and asked, “What should I do?” She said, “Sing Hakol Yachol.” He started singing Hakol Yachol, and lo and behold, he saw a yid walking towards the hospital. When he called over the yid, he came to his car and asked, “How can I help you?” He said, “I have three packages. Can you bring it up to a choleh for me?” The yid said, “Sure, no problem! My greatest pleasure!” And just like that, the yid brought up the three packages for the choleh! “Hashem runs a perfect world, and Klal Yisrael is amazing!” “Bitachon brings brachos!” [R’ Zevy Golombeck]   Read more: “Am Yisrael is the Most Amazing Nation!”
