Praying for Barak

on a recent trip to Israel my aunt Betsy and her husband Simon decided to go visit Heria while they were there they went out to eat at this place called meat and wine Co it's a beautiful magnificent two-story restaurant they were seated at a table downstairs and my aunt turns to the waiter and says you know is it possible for us to have a table upstairs we want to see The View so they're given a table upstairs and they go upstairs and the waiter a different waiter comes over we sat down and our waiter came over and he was telling us the specials and kibitzing with him a little bit you know he's very jovial and as he was walking away he said by the way if you need anything my name is Barack and I immediately got some kind of a feeling in me and I turned to Simon and I said we have to know what his mother's name is so my uncle Simon calls him back and he says hey Barack is your mom's name Ora and Barack says yes and he said it and I didn't process it it was like you know you hear you see these stories that you just don't hear what he's saying and you're like what and that was how I felt and I what did you say and he said Ora at which point my aunt say to him did you by any chance fight last summer in the war with Gaza operation protective Edge and he says yeah how do you know my say well I've got your name on my kitchen cabinet during the war you call the phone number and they give you the name of a soldier to pray for Soldier who's fighting in the Army the name she get was Sona and that's my name Barack Ben Ora and what's even stranger is Mayan tells Barack that two weeks ago she walked into her kitchen in Beverly Hills and she saw his name and she began praying for him and while she was praying for him she turns to God and says you know I don't even know if he's alive it would be nice to meet him and to see how he's doing I went to Israel it wasn't planned I went to herzelia it wasn't planned we went to this restaurant we went to this table he was our waiter it was just a powerful message to me that Hashem is is right there bety pray for me to to come back home safe and I came back home safe when you realize that someone one place for you to come back it makes the out very very warm around 3 weeks ago Barack sent an email to my aunt he told me that the next day he started putting on tiine that he hadn't put on tiine in years I felt that this is a mark from God or something this was [Music] unbelievable we live in a world of 7 billion people and it's hard to imagine that the creator of the universe is looking after little old me it's hard to believe that he's orchestrating every event in our life and sometimes it's hard to feel like when I talk to him he's actually listening and Roses the day God created man we remind ourselves that he is actually paying very very close attention to every detail of our life we remind ourselves that he is behind the events we call coincidence accent or chance and we remind ourselves that life is a gift and it should not be taken for granted and Every Breath You Take is his special way of saying you matter so reach out to him and talk to him ask him for of happiness and health or whatever else you might need because he's waiting to hear from you [Music]
