HaRav YaakovGalinsky,zt"lThe telephone rings in the Galinsky home.
"May I speak to the rav?""No, he's in shul. Who is this?""It doesn't matter. Just tell him that the last one got engaged. Bye."Strange. When Rav Galinsky returns home from shul, they give him
the message and he's overjoyed, praising and thanking HaKadosh Baruch Hu
for bringing this about. Then he explains.The previous winter he had traveled to America to fundraise. He spent Purim
in Lakewood and celebrated the Purim seudah Novardok-style replete with poignant
singing and words of mussar and beautiful ideas mined from the megillah. Then five
bachurim showed up asking for a berachah they were single and were hoping to get
engaged that year. "I'm not a tzaddik to whom one would go to seek berachos," Rav Galinsky
told them, "but I'm here raising funds for several Torah institutions in Eretz Yisrael.
Give a donation, and in the merit of the mitzvah, you will see your yeshuah."They pulled out their wallets and gave him donations, and Rav Galinsky blessed
them that they would all get engaged within the year. The next morning he felt bad
about taking money for what might turn out to be an empty promise. But the bachurim
refused to take it back. "Then I'll hold on to it and if one of you doesn't get engaged
within the year, I'll give you all back your money."Now he had received the news that the last of the five bachurim
had gotten engaged. A Purim miracle!In Novardok, Purim was greater than Yom Kippur. On Yom Kippur one receives atonement for
sins of the past; on Purim one is fortified for the future. On Yom Kippur one is inspired by the
tefillos; on Purim, we create the tefillos. On Yom Kippur, we say vidui; on Purim, we read the
megillah - a repository of lessons and inspiration.Now, in his unique, penetrating style - with stories and parables, lessons and maxims, pesukim
and ma'amarei Chazal - Rav Yaakov Galinsky brings Megillas Esther alive. As you unearth
this magnificent treasure-trove of stories and real-life lessons, Rav Galinsky's derashos
will transform you and your understanding of the Purim miracle.For Hakav Yaakov Galinsky, shlita
I read the sefarim entitled V'Higadeta, and they inspire an increase
in yiras Shamayim [among Klal Yisrael). You should merit longevity
and a good life in order to bring merit to the public.
[HaRav]ChaimKanievsky
