The Power of Positive Lying

16/04/2024

Mrs. Leiberman’s* daughter called her up frantically to tell her that she had just lost something extremely important. Mrs. Lieberman told her, “You know, it was already found.” Her daughter said, “Are you serious? How do you know where it is?” Mrs. Lieberman answered her, “I don’t know. I know it’s where it will be found.” Her daughter said, “What is this, a joke?” She said, “No, this is how a Life with Bitachon told me to talk. I’m supposed to only speak positive lies, and that’s called having Bitachon; just say, of course, you already found it.” Her daughter said, “Mommy, you want me to lie? I can’t do that. I can’t lie. I’m too upset. I don’t know where it is.” Her mother said, “It’s okay. No problem. I’ll lie for you; it’s already found.” A couple of hours later, her daughter called her up. “I found it!” she said. “Now I see what you were telling me, and I see that in the future, I should do exactly what you did Read more: Bitachon #61

Hashem Arranges Every Ride

15/04/2024

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

Hashem Works Out Everything

29/03/2024

R’ Nosson*, a relative of Rabbi Golombeck, was planning to drive one Friday from Lakewood to upstate New York. Since he would be driving with an empty car, he first stopped by the hitching spot on Squankum Avenue, where people wait for rides. (Baruch Hashem, in Lakewood and many other places in the world, yidden stop and they give each other rides.) R’ Nosson arrived at the hitching spot at 12:00, but he did not see anybody who needed a ride. This was very unusual, and he felt a letdown; he wanted to be able to do chesed and give a ride so much, but there was no one waiting for a ride. But what should he do? Obviously, Hashem had different plans. He started driving upstate with his empty car. As he was driving on the highway, he saw a Yiddishe couple pulled over at the side of the road, holding a couple of kids. He stopped and asked, “Do you need help?” They said, “Yes, our car died. We’re going to upstate New York, and we need a ride.” He told them, “Are you serious? I’m going to upstate New York, and I have an empty car. Come with me.” It turned out that their family filled the whole car! If he would have given anyone else a ride, then he would not have had room for this family!   Read more:Everything Works Out to The Tee!

They think I’m the one in charge, it’s You and I’m leaving it up to You.” Later on that day, the mother said, “Wow. From one minute to next, he’s a different child. I see your tools are really are amazing!” Read more: Bitachon #56

Who is in charge of available appointments? Hashem.

27/03/2024

Rabbi Golombeck was in the bank Wells Fargo on Friday in order to take care of something important. They told him that in order to take care of it he would need an appointment. They told him he would have to come back on Monday to make an appointment. Rabbi Golombeck told them that he really needs to take care of it today. They told him, “We don’t have any appointments available for today.” Rabbi Golombeck was thinking to himself, “One second. Who is in charge of available appointments? Hashem.” He said, ‘Hashem! They can give me an appointment.” The man said to Rabbi Golombeck, “You know what? The next meeting is in 10 minutes. If you take care of it within 10 minutes, then I could do it for you.” Within ten minutes the whole thing was taken care of! Read more: Bitachon #55

R’ Fisher* from Eretz Yisrael moved into a new neighborhood and started going to a new Shul. He wanted to daven for the amud. He was davening there for a few weeks, and they never asked him once to daven for the amud. One Shabbos he said to Hashem, “Okay, I am leaving it up to you. The gabbai is not calling me; he doesn’t notice me; I’m going with You.” That Shabbos, while they were giving aliyos, he was mechazek more and more in Bitachon. When they were giving maftir, they called him up and they said that he gets a package deal. He gets maftir and mussaf. He ended up getting an aliyah; mafitr and davening for the amud!

Rabbi Golombeck sees how much Hashem Loves and Cares for him!

10/03/2024

A mother left him a message with a question on the hotline. He called her back and said to her that this question was for her Rav and she should be asking him. She said that with these types of questions, her Rav tells her that only Rabbi Forsheimer knows the answers. So Rabbi Golombeck asked her, “So what’s the problem?” She said that the last time she tried to call Rabbi Forsheimer, it took her a week to get through to him. She doesn’t have a week now to get through to him. Rabbi Golombeck told her, “Okay, I’ll call him instead of you.” Usually, Rabbi Golombeck also has to call Rabbi Forsheimer about 20 to 40 times in order to get through to him, but he decided he’ll do it anyway, to help another Yid. He called, and on the first try, Rabbi Forsheimer answered!! Rabbi Forsheimer said that he didn’t have a clear answer to the question and that Rabbi Golombeck should call Rebbetzin Halberstadt;  she would know. So Rabbi Golombeck called Rebetzin Halberstadt, and she said that she was leaving to teach in three minutes; and that Rabbi Golombeck caught her right as she was about to leave! She said she had 60 seconds. She gave Rabbi Golombeck 100 percent clarity on the answer to the question. Within two minutes of Rabbi Golombeck speaking to the mother with her question, she got an answer!! Even though it was through Rabbi Forsheimer, who usually takes 20 times to get through to, and the Rebbetzin, who was about to leave for work! Everything was orchestrated perfectly with hashgacha pratis! Read More: Hashgacha Pratis Read more: “Hashem’s Constant Care”
