CHASSIDISHE STORY ON THE PARSHA
פרשת ויחי
Parshas Vayechi
והגדתם לאבי את כל כבודי במצריםואני בבאי מפדן ארם מתה עלי רחל… (ויחי מח:ז)
But as for me – when I came from Paddan, Rachel died on me…R’ Avraham Eliezer Ness relates this story. When his father R’Yakov a’’h was niftar in Siberia, R’ Avraham Eliezer and his sister escaped Siberia to Eretz Yisroel. However, his sister suffered from terrible nightly dreams – her father begging to bring his bones to Eretz Yisroel.
So she went to the Chazon Ish zt’’l and told him about her dreams. She showed a picture of her father, and the Chazon Ish told her, “Since your father was a Chassid, go to Maran Reb Aharon of Belz zt’’’l, who lives in Tel Aviv. He will help you, for this matter belongs to a Chassidic Rebbe.”
Maran advised the woman to visit Kever Rochel. (In those times it was dangerous for a Yid to travel to Kever Rochel.) “You should say a few kapitlach (chapters) of Tehillim and you will bring him over,” said Maran.
The woman disguised herself as an English tourist, took the bus to Beis Lechem, and safely entered Kever Rochel. No one was there besides an elderly Yid whom she wanted to give tzedakah before leaving, but by that time, he was gone. She recited tehillim as Maran advised and returned to Tel Aviv. She shared the details of her trip with Maran, and since then, she has never had a bad dream.
