Deal Helped Friend’s Wife’s Illness

by COLlive reporter

A decision to follow the Rebbe’s request that Jews study a daily portion from the Rambam’s Mishnah Torah has had a miraculous effect, COLlive.com was told.

Rabbi Yisroel Shemtov, a chossid and business owner in Crown Heights, said he has suggested the decision to a friend this past year.

“He told me his wife had a major pain in her head – not just headaches,” Shemtov said. “They went to doctors and for 6 months they gave her stronger and stronger medication.

“I asked my friend if he learns Rambam every day. He said no. I told him why don’t you got to the Rebbe’s Ohel and make a deal,” Shemtov recalled.

Shemtov says he got the idea from a recent story he heard about a Shliach who visited a respected individual in his community and found a large picture of the Rebbe in the person’s house.

Asked about the photo, the man said he hasn’t had children for many years. He was told to see the Rebbe and was told: Let’s make a deal. You start putting Tefillin and you will have children.

When the Shliach asked the man what was the result of that blessed deal, the man calls out upstairs for his 3 children to come down.

Inspired by this, Yisroel Shemtov told his friend to “make a deal with the Rebbe. You start learning a chapter Rambam every day and in return, you want that your wife won’t have the problem.”

“I saw him 3 days later. He said, you will not believe it. My wife woke up with no pain on medication,” he said.

“With many people, when they started the Rambam, their problems (went away) and saw immediate results,” Shemtov concludes.
