Especially happy news was announced on Thursday at the shiur of the tzaddik, HaGaon HaRav Gamliel Rabinowitz, in the Shabtai Beis Medrash in Jerusalem – a baby boy was born to one of the members of the kehilla after 20 years of marriage.
Avi Revach, the ecstatic new father, told the story behind the yeshuah to HaRav Rabinowitz and the other members of the shiur, B’Chadrei Charedidim reported.
“Over a year ago, we were here in the shul, and [famed singer] Mordechai Ben David (who has recently become close to HaRav Rabinowitz’s kehilla) was here,” Revach said. “We were sitting at the Kiddush after davening and someone told Mordechai that there is a Jew here without children and he needs a yeshua.”
“Mordechai told me: ‘Accept a kabbalah to do something that’s truly hard for you and then Hakadosh Baruch Hu will also give to you.’ I asked him what I should take on and he responded not to speak during davening. I told him that that’s hard for me with my friends around. And he told me: ‘Davka because it’s hard for you, take it on and you’ll see your yeshua.'”
“I started attending a different shul without my friends so I wouldn’t slip up. A little over a year later, b’chasdei Hashem, my bechor was born.”

Amazing! I used to daven in MBD’s shul in his basement, there’s almost never talking there because if you talk, he smiles at you with his trademark smile and gently reminds you not to talk.
“something that’s truly hard for you”
This is the key, “for YOU”. Im sure there will be people here saying how they never talk in shul and still didnt see their Yeshuah.
And it has to be a new kabbalah so you are showing HKB”H that im doing something special for you even if it makes no sense or too difficult to me but i will do it because i really want….
MBD should change careers from an entertainer to a miracle worker/kabbalist.
Chasdei H’! Mazal tov!
מי כעמך ישראל!
Happy for this outcome but sad that his toughest challenge is not to talk during davening. At his age, it should be second-nature
Mazel tov!!!
This segula is from the Bnei Yissaschar, brought down in his sefer Agra Depirka. He writes that if a person requires a yeshua lemaala miderech hateva, he should do something for Hashem that is For him lemaala min hateva i.e. something that is very difficult for him.
update: lines forming outside MBD’s house in Seagate for brachos….
Almost is not enough
