Masei—A Rose By Any Other 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 Ei-

ger, the son of the great R. Akiva Eiger. He told R. Shlomo that

his wife was very ill and begged him to request his illustrious

father to daven that she get well.

“I try not to trouble my father with these natters.” 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 mitsva, I feel it is the least

that I can do to contact my father,” responded R. Shlomo “Please tell me

your wife’s name.”

“Rivka bas Soro,” 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 Soro 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

Soro Leah.

He sent off another letter and a response soon came to that one:

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

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

recovery.

Good Shabbos,

Rabbi Cohen

Next class is Wednesday, Aug. 9th at Gordon’s!
