CHASSIDISHE STORY ON THE PARSHA
פרשת ויצא
Parshas Vayeitzei
ויעקב הלך לדרכו ויפגעו בו מלאכי אלקים (ויצא לב:ב)
Yakov went on his way, and Malachim (angels) of Hashem encountered him.When Rebbe Avraham Dov of Avritch zt’’l – the “Bas Ayin” was moving to Eretz Yisroel, he went to bid farewell from the tzaddik Rebbe Aharon of Zitomer zt’’l. Rebbe Aharon was lying sick in bed and asked a favor of the Bas Ayin. The doctors said that my only healing could come from drinking the waters of Eretz Yisroel. And since you’re traveling to Eretz Yisroel and your thoughts are already there, it’s considered as if you’re in Eretz Yisroel. Therefore, I ask you to drink some water and give me the rest, for the water will contain the refuah – healing from Eretz Yisroel.”
The Bas Ayin abided, and Reb Aharon merited a recovery.
The Bas Ayin explained the phenomenon based on the Rashi of ויפגעו בו מלאכי אלקים – these Malachim were from Eretz Yisroel. How can it be if Yakov wasn’t yet in Eretz Yisroel? Since his Thoughts were to reach Eretz Yisroel, it was considered as if he already was in Eretz Yisroel. Thus, the Malachim from Eretz Yisroel came to him.
The Bas Ayin also related that he hadn’t yet shared his plans of moving to Eretz Yisroel with anyone, but Reb Aharon knew already!
