Breishis – Made in Heaven

 

Breishis 2:22  “and He brought her to Odom.”

 

 

A young man from the United States was having a very difficult time finding

his Beshert. He came to Eretz Yisroel in order to pray at the burial sites of

some of the great people who had passed away. One day as he was visiting

the grave of R' Aharon the Belzer Rebbe on Har Menuhos, a strong wind

suddenly blew his hat off his head. When he finally caught up with it, some

way off, he noticed that a Kvittel (note) had somehow also blown into his hat.

He intended to return it to the grave side of the Belzer Rebbe but his eye

caught the fact that it was written in English:

 

“I daughter of so and so from city such and such am looking to find my

proper mate. Please help me find him."

He told his parents what had happened and they decided to call the girl’s

parents.

In a short while the young couple became engaged.

 Advanced Halachic Bulletin

Shulchan Aruch: If you are uncertain whether you Bentched, and you ate enough to be satiated, you should Bentch. There is a question whether a woman who is uncertain if she already Bentched should do so now. It is better that she not Bentch out of doubt.

The most widely held position seems to be that the satiation need not come only from the quantity of bread. However you must have ate at least a K’zayit of bread.

Have a wonderful Shabbos!!
