There was a yungerman who decided
last minute to travel to Kerestir.
He wanted to go
to the Kever of R’ Shaya,
with all its incredible
Segulos and its Yeshuos.
He needed help
in a particular area of his life,
and he booked a ticket
the very last day that
you could book a ticket.
And he comes onto the plane
and he's running late as it is.
He's the last person
that comes on the plane
and he sees that his seat
is between two women.
It's an aisle of three,
one on this side, one on that side,
and everyone's waiting for him.
The flight needs to take off,
he just made it
by the skin of his teeth.
And he goes over, in the most
respectful and gentle way,
and he says to the stewardess,
Please, is there any way
we can rearrange something?
I don't sit next to women.
It’s my way of life. It's our culture.
It's the community that I'm from.
Please, can you do something?
And the stewardess says to him:
You have two choices.
One choice is you sit in the seat
that you're supposed to sit in,
and this plane is able to leave,
or you upgrade.
There are seats in
business class and first class.
If you want to go to business class,
we can get you a seat
where nobody will sit next to you.
He goes: What's it going to cost?
Almost $400.
Ribono shel Olam,
he's not a wealthy guy.
As a matter of fact, he's going there
because he needs a Yeshuah financially.
He thinks to himself:
What am I supposed to do?
He says: You know what?
It's worth it.
Here's my credit card.
Do what you got to do.
Move me to business class.
There are a bunch of Yidden
on the flight, actually,
and as he's walking up to business class,
a few guys, actually,
one guy handed him a $100 bill,
another guy handed him a $50,
and by the time he got to the front,
a good percentage was covered
and he sat down in his business seat.
He had a wonderful flight,
and he gets to Kerestir very refreshed.
And he comes to Kerestir
and he davens by R’ Shaya,
and it’s לעילא מכל ברכתא ושירתא.
It's amazing and it's wonderful.
He's about to leave
and he says: Ribono shel Olam,
in the zchus of the heilige Tzaddik,
please help me that when I go back,
I should somehow not have
the Nisayon that I had on the way here,
and that I also shouldn't have
to pay another ticket for business,
because I don't think I could do that.
I don't have money for
another business class ticket.
And he comes back to the airport.
He has a seat all the way
in the back of the plane,
because he reserved, again,
the day that he went back.
And as he's about to board the flight,
all of a sudden, the flight attendant
looks at him and says,
Ah, the guy who paid for business
last time, because he didn't want to s...
You’re not going to believe it.
Your seat is between two women.
But you know something? I respect you.
I'm going to take care of you this time.
Come, there's a bunch
of open seats in business class.
It's on the house.
And he gets the business class flight.
He comes back home and he realizes
that while maybe he
didn't see yet the Yeshuah
that R’ Shaya, hopefully,
was able to be פועל for him
in the area that he needed a Yeshuah,
but he certainly had a Yeshuah that day,
when it came to the issue
of Shmiras Einayim.
The Ribono shel Olam
made it His business
to help this fellow
fly business.
