R’ Dovid* brings his kids to the bus stop to go to cheder. The stop is all the way down the block at the corner. One day, he was running late. He said, “Hashem, I have bitachon that when I walk out of my door I will find the bus waiting there.” He opened his door and he saw that there was a huge traffic jam and the bus which usually stops all the way down the block was… right in front of his house! He waved to the bus driver and the kids got right onto the bus! Read more: Bitachon #257

Seven-year-old Dovid* broke his hand right before Yom Tov. His hand was placed in a cast. He went back on Chal Hamoed to the doctor. The doctor said, “The hand is not healing right and would require surgery.” Dovid’s father asked if surgery could be pushed off a week as they wanted to go out of town for the last days. “Yes, we can push it off a week.” Dovid was crying, he didn’t want surgery. His father told him, “Hashem is the Kol Yochol and could fix it. Let us do what Rav Chaim Kanievsky zt”l recommended that one should learn the Torah related to the Machalah.” So, they learned Mesechta Yodayim. When they came back to the doctor a week later, he said, “We have to do the surgery.” Dovid’s father asked if he could push it off another week. The doctor said, “Yes, but, that’s it.” I’m scheduling the surgery for next Thursday.” Dovid’s father asked if they could have an appointment on Wednesday to check if they still need surgery? The doctor couldn’t understand why they should check on Wednesday, but gave them the Wednesday appointment. They finished mesechta Yodayim and came on Wednesday. The doctor said, “You don’t need surgery – the bones aligned themselves!” ! Read more: Bitachon #253

The Kohn* family from Lakewood NJ went apple picking. They really enjoyed themselves there and they decided to make the trip a little longer by stopping off at the Monmouth County airport to watch some planes take off. None of the kids had ever been on a plane before, and it was a fascinating sight for them. On the way there, Mrs. Kohn mentioned that she really wanted her children to have a tour of the inside of a plane. One of the kids suggested that they sing ‘Hakol Yachol’, the whole car burst into song. They pulled up at the airport, and before they even came out of the car, a man came over to them and asked if they would like a tour of an airplane! They couldn’t believe it! However, their excitement was short-lived. As they began entering the main building to go the plane, a woman stopped them and said they could not get a tour since her manager would not let. The pilot who had originally offered looked downright dejected. Mrs. Kohn turned to Hashem and said, “Her manager is not here, but MY Manager is. Please Hashem, help us get a tour!” It didn’t take long before they sorted things out, and the family was given a full tour of the inside of a jet, including the cockpit! Our Manager is always with us! Read more: Bitachon #252

Chaim wasn’t doing well in Cheder. One day, Chaim’s father received a phone call from the Menahel that Chaim was expelled from Cheder and that there was nothing to negotiate about. He told his wife, “We are not going get upset over this. Everything Hashem does is good. And everything will be good. Let’s make a Seudas HaBitachon.” And they made a fancy lunch. They then received a phone call from the menahel that the Cheder changed their mind. “Chaim is welcome back to Cheder.” Thank You Hashem! Read more: Bitachon #251

Aharon Richter, a yungerman from Eretz Yisroel, was learning with an older bachur who was 35-years-old and not yet married. Because Aharon was so involved in all the projects of bitachon, he told his chavrusah that it’s a zechus to get involved with emunah and bitachon. He suggested that they learn Bitachon Weekly and Sha’ar Habechina. They learned them together for one year. Aharon’s chavrusa just got for himself a beautiful shidduch! He had wanted someone who would live in Yerushalayim, and his kallah also wants to live there. He got everything he dreamed about! Read more: Bitachon #248
