"No Timing, Only Divine Providence": What Did the Donor Discover When He Came to Israel to Visit His Father's Grave?

This happened three and a half years ago. A man named Yehoshua Shochet called a friend, asking him to support a young scholar in a kollel established in Bnei Brak for the complete recovery of a student named Yair. The person (speaking in the video) did not hesitate and joined the initiative. "I didn't know who Yair was, nor did I know the scholar I was being asked to support, but I said yes, and since then, I have been sending money every month," he recalls against the backdrop of the cemetery, where he visited from abroad to pay respects to his late father.

Recently, during his visit to Bnei Brak, he had the opportunity to learn about the activities conducted with his donation and met 'his scholar,' who made it a point to inform him that he strives to use the donation for good, engaging in serious and in-depth Torah study.

Pointing to his father's grave, Reb Avraham Eliezer Sigleboim, our acquaintance mentions that he is visiting the country and came to visit his father's grave. "Suddenly, this scholar came," he says, pointing to one of those present. "I don't know your name. Out of curiosity, I came to see who the new grave he's visiting belongs to."

When he saw the name 'Yair' on the gravestone, he immediately told the scholar standing there: 'That name rings a bell and sounds familiar.' "I asked him: Tell me, isn't this the one the kollel was established for? I'm simply one of his supporters. And the scholar was amazed and admitted: 'Yes, it's him! He passed away two days before Rosh Hashanah.' I didn't know about this, by the way. I had just sent an email to the scholar, writing that there's no such thing as timing, only Divine Providence."

"Woe to such celebrations, but I'm happy I happened to be here at this exact time by my father, and I became part of this too. May his memory be blessed, and if all these years I gave for his recovery, now let it be for the elevation of his soul."
