Masei – What’s in a name?

Bamidbar 35:25 “….until the death of the Kohen Gadol.”

Rashi: Because the High Priest should have prayed.

A wealthy Jew once traveled from Warsaw to see R’ Shlomo Eiger the son of the great R’ Akiva Eiger. He told R’ Shlomo that his wife was very ill and begged him to ask his illustrious father to daven for her.

“I try not to trouble my father with these matters.” R’ Shlomo answered.

“I am prepared to donate 200 sets of warm winter clothes to the Yeshiva for bachurim that cannot afford them,” pleaded the wealthy man.

“Since you are prepared to do such a great mitzva, I feel it’s the least I can do to contact my father,” responded R’ Shlomo “Please tell me your wife’s name.” 

“Rivka bas Sara,” replied the wealthy man.

R’ Shlomo immediately sat down and wrote a letter to his father. A response came soon to the letter.

“I davened for Rivka bas Sara but I was not answered. Perhaps there is a mistake in the name!”

R’ Shlomo investigated and found that the actual name was Rivka bas Sara Leah. He sent off another letter and a response soon came to that one.

“I davened for Rivka bas Sara Leah and I was answered!

A short time later word arrived to R’ Shlomo that the woman made a full recovery.
