A Life with Bitachon-A Game Changer

R’ Kaplan’s* wife always listened to the Bitachon hotline, and she always tried to convince him to listen. She kept telling him, “Listen, listen, listen, you’ll be a happier person and it will help you.” He never had time, and he always pushed it off. Two weeks ago, he said to himself, “One second. I really need to help myself. I want to be happy in life.” He started listening to the hotline and he said, “Wow. I never heard these concepts. It’s a game changer.” He said that a few weeks later, he already sees how he’s bringing it into his life. He gave an example. He went into a store, and he saw that somebody left his tefillin bag. He wasn’t familiar with this name. It was a bachur’s tefillin, and he didn’t know how he was going to return it to him. Then he said, “I’m having Bitachon. Within a couple minutes, either the one who lost it or somebody who knows him will come by and I’ll be able to return it to him.” A minute later, a father walked by with his son, and they saw him standing next to the tefillin. They asked him, “Whose tefillin is this?” The yungerman told them that he doesn’t know. They said, “We know this person, and if you want we can return it to him!” Just like that! Hashem orchestrated it! Read more: Bitachon #46

Vacation on Hashem’s Tab!

One week, Mrs. Levine* wanted to take a break from Shabbos cooking and baking and setting up the table. She wanted a vacation; she wanted to go away. However, she couldn’t afford to go anywhere that cost money. She said to herself,  “I wish someone would invite my entire family for all the seudos. But I don’t have any family near me, and nobody has invited me in the past Yovel!” Then she said, “One second. Who puts it in people’s brains to invite me? It’s Hashem!” That night, she got a phone call from one of her friends, who said to her, “You know, “I’m in the mood to have some company over.” I haven’t had guests in such a long time. It’s probably too late to call you; you probably already made Shabbos. But is there any way you could come?” Her friend lived close by, and they were able to walk over for all the seudos! Just like that, she got a free vacation on Hashem’s tab! [R’ Golombeck] Read more: Hashem Gives Gift to Child

It’s not money that buys shoes; it’s You, Hashem

  Mrs. Schwartz’s* child needed a pair of shoes, but she couldn’t afford it. She didn’t know what to do. She said, “Hashem, I can’t afford it. I don’t have money, but it’s not money that buys shoes; it’s You, Hashem.” Shortly afterwards, one of her neighbors was speaking with her and told her that she just bought a pair of shoes for their child, but their child didn’t like the color or the style. “Do you know of anyone who could use it?”. The shoes fit Mrs. Schwartz’s child just right, they fit like a glove. They’re perfect! The colors, everything! Hashem worked out every last detail![R’ Golombeck]   Read more: Bitachon #45

Is there Hashgacha Pratis during the 3 weeks?

Of course there is Hashgacha Pratis during the 3 weeks! There is something very interesting that we find in hilchos Tisha B’av. We sit on the floor, recite kinnos, don’t even greet each other yet surprisingly we omit tachanun; just like we find by the other moadim. Why is this so? The verse in Eichah (1:16) tells us, ‘מועד עלי ‘קרא. From here we see that Tisha Be’av is considered to be a moed and therefore just like with the other moadim we don’t say tachanun We can understand why in the future Tisha B’av will be a moed, but why even now does it already have the status of a moed? The Chasam Sofer explains that since our mourning is coming from hope, therefore, the Bais Hamikdash is still considered alive and it has the status of a moed! And a moed is a time when we come close and we connect with Hashem!

Bitachon Opens Bike Lock

R’ Chaim Gross* just bought a new bike lock. He set up a combination number and he locked the bike. Later on, when he was trying to open it, he realized that he had forgotten the combination that he had just set, and he didn’t know what to do. He was fiddling and playing with it, but it wasn’t opening. R’ Chaim’s wife made a suggestion: “I will sing Hakol Yachol.” He tried a code, but it still didn’t work.  So his wife said, “Oh, I probably need more Bitachon!”  She started singing again ‘Hakol Yachol,’ and halfway through, the bike lock opened up!!

Hashem is Amazing! Klal Yisrael is Amazing!

It was Erev Shabbos and Mrs. Lieber* needed a cleaning lady to get her large house ready for Shabbos. Her usual cleaning lady canceled on her and she had no idea what she was going to do. So she said, “Hashem, I don’t need a cleaning lady. You’re the One who is in charge.” A little while later, she heard a knock at her door. It was her neighbor’s two daughters.They asked, “Can we help you?”She said,”Why are you asking?” They said, “We finished cleaning for Shabbos very early, and we wanted to know if anyone else needs help.” With that,two girls helped and did a much better job than the cleaning lady! They did it quicker and smoother! [R’ Zevy Golombeck]  Read More: Hashem Sends Free Shabbos Meals!

Parnassah Doesn’t Come from a job rather from Hashem!

Yoni* from Eretz Yisrael was working in a business where they started compromising in Halacha. He called his Rav and told him that he didn’t want to be in such an environment. His Rav told him, “You know, they are heterim but Yoni told his Rav, “I don’t need heterim, I work for Hashem, and I know Hashem wants me to be l’chatchila!” His wife was so happy for him that he wanted to quit his job. They said that they were just going to live with Emunah and Bitachon now. They feel so close to Hashem that they took themselves out of a nisayon. They see money coming from Hashem! Yoni said that it’s just such a good feeling to realize parnassah doesn’t come from a job rather from Hashem! “If it’s compromising in Halacha, then I don’t want to work there.”“Madreigos of Yidden in today’s generation!”[R’ Zevy Golombeck] Read more: Bitachon #39

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! Amazing Hashgacha Pratis![R’ Zevy Golombeck]   Read more: Thank You Hashem!

Hashem

Thank You Hashem!

Mrs. Rothman* was in the kitchen and she got a large, deep cut. She thought she would have lots of pain, but to her amazement and disbelief, she experienced no pain whatsoever. She thought she would need stitches, but when she went to the doctor, he said, “Nah, it doesn’t need stitches.”He just bandaged it up, and she didn’t feel any pain whatsoever! It was a deep, humongous cut, and the doctor said that it could heal on its own without stitches. She felt so thankful to Hashem![R’ Zevy Golombeck]   Read more: Hashem Works Everything Out!

Shopping With Hashem

Bitachon Pays Grocery Bill

Mrs. Katz* needed to go shopping, but she did not have a penny to her name. She said, “I just have to do my job, go through the motions, fill up my shopping cart with what I need and Hashem will pay the bill somehow! I have no idea how.” She did not have a penny in her bank account, and her credit cards are maxed out. While she was in the store she saw her mother there. Her mother lives in the other end of the city and she never shops in this store and she’s never there. Her mother said, “Oh so nice to see you!” And she offered to pay her bill! Just like that, her mother paid the whole bill! (R’ Zevy Golombeck) Read more: Bitachon #37

Hashem could Make the sun come Out

Mrs. Stein* had a flight scheduled to fly overseas. It was raining heavily, so she called up the airline to find out if everything was running on schedule. The airline said, “Expect heavy, heavy delays due to the weather.” As she was travelling to the airport, she said to herself, “Who is in charge of the weather? Hashem could make the sun come out, and it won���t be snowy, rainy, or windy. It could be beautiful weather, and we’ll go right on time and won’t have to wait.” When she got to the airport, everything cleared up! The weather was perfect, and the plane left exactly on time! They said expect heavy, heavy delays, but Hashem made it that the flight left exactly on schedule! Read more: Bitachon #35
