yassul Hirsch was a holocaust Survivor
who came over to the United States in
the late 1940s he found himself a job in
a kosher bakery and very quickly became
beloved by his employers by the vendors
and by the customers one day one of the
vendors who particularly loved yesterday
fell by the name of Moshe contesky came
over to him and said to him yasu you
have so many talents you're learning
this business well why don't you open
your own Bakery
he smiled and said I've thought about it
many times and I think it could really
help my family but at the same time I
don't have the capital it cost tens of
thousands of dollars to open a bakery
Maisha said to him listen Hashem has
blessed me with success and I have
confidence that you can be successful as
well I'm willing to lend you twenty
thousand dollars which in the late 1940s
early 1950s was a fortune really also
said you have that much confidence yes
he said and he lent them the twenty
thousand dollars
he also opened a bakery which was very
successful and he was thrilled the day
that he was able to pay back the twenty
thousand dollars that he owned moisture
contest key for many many years the two
of them were the closest of friends and
eventually Maisha was nifter he went up
to the world to come to alien and he
also went to the lavaya a broken man he
was shattered about the loss of his very
close friend who had helped him in his
greatest time of need
a number of years passed and one day
yassel came home after a busy day and he
went to sleep
as he was sleeping he had a dream and in
his dream his old friend his deceased
friend Maisha moisha kontaski was there
and Maisha said to him he Hustle he also
was very shaken even in his dream and he
says moisha why you were contacting me
you're not alive anymore
he says I need a favor I was there for
you and I helped get you on your feet
and I was there to start you off I
needed to do a favor in return He also
said just tell me what it is of course
I'll do it Maisha shared that after he
had passed he left the business to his
two sons and there were some issues and
there were some problems in the business
and the two sons got into a terrible
Feud and they were not on talking terms
one of my sons is making a bar mitzvah
very soon and he didn't invite my other
son you can't imagine how much grief how
much how much pain this is causing me in
shamaim that my two children are not on
talking terms and one is making a simha
and hasn't even invited his brother
please he said try try to see if you can
make Shalom try to see if both of my
sons could be at the bar mitzvah
he also woke up shaken trembling
and he first dismissed the dream but
when he made some inquiries and found
out that it was true that the two
brothers were not getting along with one
another he realized that he had a
mission and he realized he had to help
his friend Maisha
he went to talk to the brother that was
making the bar mitzvah he called him up
and they reminiscented about the
wonderful times and what his father had
meant to yaso
and then he asked him how the business
is doing and he says the business we had
a lot of struggles and it's my brother
and this
and he said it's not really my brother
it's partially my brother but it's
really sad we're not on talking terms
but let's talk about something more
positive and something more joyous sure
he also said what do you want to talk
about he goes I'm making a bar mitzvah
and I would love you to come because
you're making a bar mitzvah that's
wonderful is your brother coming
so sadly I didn't even invite my brother
because I think that if I invite him
he's just not going to come
how do you know that he also said to him
perhaps maybe perhaps if you do invite
him he'll feel like you're making
you know you're reaching out to him
maybe maybe he would come really he said
yeah he says let me let me let me take
care of this
and he also took a page out of our not
client's Playbook and he went to the
other brother and he said to him I want
you to know something you know your
brother's making of our mental he goes
yeah he didn't even invite me he says
you know I didn't invite you he'd invite
you because he thinks you may not come
but he really wants you to come he feels
bad that the two of you don't get along
really he said
and he made up he made the two of them
reach out to one another and they came
to the bar mitzvah and they were there
by they hugged one another
and while there was a tremendous day
because there was shall I met the bar
mitzvah in shamaim places there was the
incredible most incredible as Moshe
