Someone came around collecting in Sul and he told me b'sheim "a well known mekubal" that the war was because Americans don't give enough to support Kollelim in Israel.
I told him that he said the same thing about covid a few years ago.
He asked me how I remember that and I told him "It's not every day you meet a real life Navi!"
He did not like that
My father’s father bought two plots in a bais hachaim in eretz yisroel. The second one for my grandmother was never used because she was buried in NY. My father then was talking at some point with the cemetery about using the plot for someone else.
The Chelek my Zaidy is in some sort of “chelkas harabbonim,” so the chevra kadisha says “well, how do we know the person who wants to buy it is a Talmid Chacham?”
My father said “he’s even better, he’s a tzaddik nistar!”
