Years ago, we had one of the Gedolei
Hador,
Rav Moshe Feinstein, alav hashalom,
he passed away.
Now, he passed away on the Yud Gimel
B'Adar,
the 13th of [music] Adar.
And there were some delays in the
flights to move the body
to Eretz Yisrael,
and
it took a couple days.
By the time
they were ready to bury him,
it was already Tet Vav, which was
Shushan Purim.
250,000
Jews showed up to the levaya to give
kavod to the Gadol Hador just passed
away,
and among them, there was an avreich.
We're not talking about somebody that's
a fool. We're not talking about somebody
that doesn't know anything. We're
talking about somebody that learns Torah
for a living.
And he was among the people. He wanted
to give kavod to the chacham, even
though it's Purim. You still have to go.
But,
since it was Gadol Hador, and since
there were so many people,
and since so much honor is needed, it
took a while.
And that avreich started complaining.
He said
He said some things that perhaps he
shouldn't say.
He said, "So what if Rav Moshe died? We
have to go back home to celebrate with
our family Purim."
Between us, doesn't sound like it's the
Okay, so he said it.
It's not nice.
It's not proper,
but
do you really think Hashem cares about
this?
Well,
he said what he said.
He left.
He got home,
and his head started to hurt.
And then it started to hurt more.
And then it got to a point where it was
such a horrible migraine headache that
he couldn't even focus, couldn't
function, nothing.
The next day continued. They took him to
the hospital. They did all the different
checks
and said,
"There's nothing there. We don't know
what's wrong with you."
The guy is crying. He can't function. He
can't do anything.
And he doesn't know why.
There's no diagnosis. There's no
nothing.
He can't sleep. He can't [music] eat. He
can't learn. He can't do anything. His
headache will not go away.
After several days of this, they said,
"Listen, maybe we can go to one of the
Tzedikeem that can help you."
They went to the Gaon, Rabbi Raphael
Benjamin Levin, the son of Rabbi Eliyahu
Levin, alav hashalom.
And they went to him and they know that
Rabbi Levin has a masoret from his
father
of how to do the Goral HaGra.
And the Goral HaGra is something very
special. A lot of people think they do
it. They just open a Tanakh and say,
"Oh, look at the pasuk." It doesn't
really work. It's not so simple.
It's a little bit more complicated than
that. There's a lot of preparation. You
have to fast. It's Baruch Hashem.
It's not something that you just do
stuff just because you're you're
wondering whether you should go to the
party or not. It's not what you use
Goral HaGra for.
But they came to the Haham and they
said, "Kevod HaRav, please." And the guy
is crying hysterically. "Please help me.
Do Goral HaGra. Tell me why this
happened to me so I can fix it."
In the beginning, Rabbi Levin said, "I
can't.
I can't do it for you. I'm sorry. We
don't do it for a regular for a third
person. We do it for the klal. We do it
for, you know, if it has to affect on Am
Yisrael, then we do it. We don't use
such a big tool
for an individual."
He continued crying.
The Rav had mercy on him and said,
"Okay, fine. I'll do it for you, but it
takes a day to prepare.
So, come back tomorrow tomorrow night."
The Rav did what he needed to do to
prepare.
The next day,
the Avrech came with his family.
And the Rav
opens the Tanakh.
Has to be a special Tanakh, it's not
just any Tanakh.
Opens the Tanakh and he sees Hakadosh
Baruch Hu says
to
Aharon and Miriam, really more to Miriam
but
Aharon also
madua lo yaretem ledaber beavdi Moshe
Why did you not fear to speak against my
servant Moshe?
Rav Levine does Does this mean anything
to you?
This pasuk?
And all of a sudden, everything came
[music] full circle for this poor
avreich.
He says, "Oy!
Oy to me!
Yes, of course it means something to me.
I spoke something that I guess
was not good about Rav Moshe Feinstein.
I said, "So what if he died and you
know, it's it's not
You know, we have to go celebrate
Purim."
Rav Levine says to him, "Listen,
there's not much I can do to you for you
because the Gemara itself says in
Maseches Shabbos,
anyone that's a mevazeh, anyone that
disrespects a chacham, ein trufa
lemakato, there's no cure to his
ailment."
Apparently in Shamayim,
this is what you have.
But I can give you an idea.
I don't know if it's going to work, but
as Hashem they have mercy on you.
He says, "Anything, Rabbi, anything." He
says, "Take as much money as you have,
advertise in every newspaper,
every newspaper,
what you did
and that you're sorry [music] and that
anyone that heard your words will know
that you made a mistake and what
happened to you.
Maybe after you do that, they'll have
mercy on you."
He did exactly this and mamash the next
day, the headache gone and never came
back again.
Meaning that while we think
to stand up for the rabbi when he walks
in is like "Oh, come on now."
Or to say that we disagree with a
God or say you're not allowed to do such
and such and say "Ah, no, come on now."
We think it's not a big deal.
In Shamayim they think different.
Why? It's not about the person, it's
about the Torah that's inside him.
Hashem will hear.
>> Let's say thank you Hashem for more
Torah. 1 2 3
We want to evoke Hashem. 1 2 3

>> We are Hashem's.
