No parent should ever have to go through the excruciating pain I experienced, so I hope you can’t relate to my feelings… But they were intense. Very. You see, we were looking into shidduchim for the same child for close to a decade! We tried everything to find a kallah for Shloimy.* Nothing materialized.
When Shloimy turned 27, we decided to get the zechus of the Ribnitzer Rebbe, zy”a, on our side. So many stories are told of yeshuos during his lifetime and after his passing, too. Maybe we would be zocheh as well?
We signed him up to Tehillim Kollel.
For the next 40 days, in the predawn hours every single morning, the entire sefer Tehillim was earnestly recited on his behalf. Tehillim Kollel’s messengers added a special request that our Shloimy merit finding his zivug soon.
Forty days passed. The very next morning, I called Tehillim Kollel with the exciting news.
“To tell you the truth,” I began, “we did many segulos. We tried many things. I’m not in Shamayim to say that ‘this’ did it. But it’s clear as day that the zechus of daily Tehillim, the zechus of the Ribnitzer Rebbe, zy”a, and the zechus of tzedakah for the special yungerleit in the Tehillim Kollel minyanim, played a serious role in bringing us our long-awaited yeshuah. Shloimy did a beautiful shidduch!”
