A Smile From Heaven

The following story was related by R’ Binyomin Zev Halpern, Rav of Khal Bais Halevy in Lakewood. A member of his shul, R’ Daniel Carlebach produces custom kesubos with the names and other information already filled in, thus saving time at the chasunah. As part of the process, he ascertains with the families the complete names of the chassan and kallah and their fathers’, and the correct spelling of the names. The seforim discuss the spelling of various names such as ‘Bas Sheva’ and ‘Ben Tzion’. They say that they are two words that have become one name. Thus, some place a hyphen (dash) between the two words, thus connecting them, while some seforim suggest leaving a space between the two words – albeit a smaller space than usual. Such a shaila came up recently when R’ Donni was printing a kesubah for a granddaughter of R’ Elya Brudny of the Mir Yeshiva in Brooklyn. R’ Elya was wondering how it had been spelled on the kesubah of his grandmother – after whom the kallah is named. He thus asked his uncle, R’ Yeruchem Leshinsky – also of the Mir, if perhaps he had a picture of her matzeivah. He replied, ‘I have something better; I have her actual kesubah!’’They reviewed it, and saw that ‘Bas Sheva’ was spelled with a hyphen. As they were pursuing it, they noticed something astonishing: The date of her chasunah was 6 Nissan 5683 – exactly one hundred years to the day prior to her great, great granddaughter’s chasunah!

Hashem Stops Thief in His Tracks

22/01/2023

Yehoshua, a yungerman from Beit Shemesh, came home one night at 9:30 p.m. He parked his car and went into his house.At 11:00 p.m. he received a phone call from the police at a checkpoint near Be’er Sheva, that his car was stolen and he should come pick it up.What happened was that right after he parked his car, a non-Jewish thief came and made a small hole in the back window, stuck his hand inside and opened the door. He then broke the place where the key for the ignition goes in, put in some wires and drove off.As the thief drove down the highway, Sruli,* who makes alarms for cars, passed by this car and noticed that the back window was broken.He knew that it’s a trick that many use to steal cars, so he followed the car until the checkpoint.The thief noticed that he was being followed, so he jumped out and left the car there!Thank You Hashem for making sure that Sruli passes by the car at just the right time! Thank You Hashem that yehoshua had no agmas nefesh! He only found out that his car was stolen after it was found! [Kav Hashgacha Pratis] Read more: DIAMOND RING IS FOUND!
