The Moment that Will Change Your Life | Rabbi Fischel Schachter

So there’s a young man in Yerushalayim and he cannot believe what the doctor just told him. That his precious little daughter is suffering from a very rare disease, and he doesn't know if there's anyone in Eretz Yisroel that could treat it. Going to America would just be off the charts in terms of how much it would cost, insurance and arranging everything. And all the עסקנים got involved. And there's one doctor in America, one doctor, a frum doctor, who could perhaps have a solution, but to get through to him is almost impossible. And he's dealing with all the עסקנים, and just their lives fell apart. And one day, he's sitting in his apartment in Yerushalayim and the phone rings, and it's one of the עסקנים, and he says: Listen, you’re in Yerushalayim now? That doctor is in Eretz Yisroel and he's in my office in Bnei Brak. He's going to be here for another hour. Can you get here in 45 minutes? He says: It's impossible. He says: Get here! And he grabs his daughter, runs out and flags down a cab. Flags down a cab, as in standing in the middle of Rechov Bar Ilan and like, you know, everything screeches to a stop. And he gets in and he tells the driver, I have to get to Bnei Brak in 40 minutes. And the driver says: .אי אפשר, אי אפשר, אי אפשר He says: I'll give you 500 shekel. And the driver says: .אפשר, אפשר, אפשר And he takes off. And you know what they say about Israeli cab drivers? They don't drive too fast, they just fly too low. And he is screeching and racing and burning tires, and he screeches to a stop in Bnei Brak, scares half the country to death, grabs his daughter, runs upstairs, and the עסקן, the person taking care of things says, Oh, I'm so sorry. The doctor got a call, he had to leave. Why didn't you pick up your phone? He says: I'm going to faint. I'm going to faint. Give me water, give me water. They bring him water and he goes: ברוך אתה השם... and all of a sudden, he says: Wait a second. Wait a second. ברוך אתה השם Between me and you, Hashem. I don't need people to get involved. I don't need insurance, I don't need coverage, I don't need favors. ברוך אתה השם אלוקינו מלך העולם שהכל נהיה בדברו. Everything is in your hand. You heal my daughter! By the time he opens up his eyes, there are Hatzalah people standing all around him. Are you okay? He takes his daughter back, and little by little, his daughter starts getting better. The doctor says: One in a million. Just it resolves on its own. And he told his wife: It was that שהכל. And his wife says: You could have made a שהכל in Yerushalayim, we would have saved 500 shekel and not scared half of the country to death. And he said: That שהכל he could have not made in Yerushalayim. There's going to be one Nisayon in your life and it's going to come at the most vulnerable moment of your life, where the Yetzer Hara says: You're doomed anyway. You may as well engage. And at that moment, you turn and say: Hashem, please, I'm trying. Help me! I don't want to. That's the moment that's going to change our lives.
