A Tsadik’s Prayer – Toldos
Breishis 25:21 “and Yitzchok implored HaShem….”
Rashi: HaShem listened to his prayer
Rav Zilberman tells the following story of an incident that happened when he
was learning in Yeshivas Etz Chaim in Yerushalayim. He had discovered that
one night Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, who was the Mashgiach in the Yeshiva had
not slept the entire night. Apparently what had happened was that late at night a
woman had shown up at the door of the great sage. When Rav Isser Zalman
had answered the knocking at the door there stood a very distraught woman
before him. Rav Isser Zalman inquired why she had come to visit him.
“I love my husband very much,” she wept, “but I am afraid that if I do not
have any children he will divorce me!”
“Do not be concerned,” replied the Gaon “ I will pray for you and you will
have a child and I will be the Sandek at his Bris.”
He remained awake for the rest of the night praying that this woman whom
he had just met would have a child.
A year later he was the sandek at the couple’s first bris!

Advanced Halachic Bulletin
There are different customs in regards to how long we keep between eating meat and milk. Some keep six full hours, others keep 5 ½ hours, yet others keep into the sixth hour. Whatever the custom, we count from the time the last bite of meat was eaten, and not from the time when you Bentch. However you must Bentch before you eat milk, even if six hours passed from your last bite of meat.
Have a great Shabbos!
