0258 - Bracha of Shliach with the Power of the M'shalei'ach - R' Zalman Vilenkin

00:00 How we know stories of a shliach who would give someone a bracha saying that since he's a shliach, he has the koach of the meshalayach, and therefore the bracha should come true, and the bracha actually came true. For instance, we heard a story of Reb Nachman Kavalsky, who was in Australia in the time of the Friediker Rebbe, even though he was a meshulach for Ner Yisroel of Baltimore, but he also had the shlichas of the Friediker Rebbe, so he gave somebody a bracha to have a child, and the person had a child. We also know a story my father told me that he heard that Reb Itche the Masmid once gave someone a bracha. He said, since I'm a shadar, a shliach of the Rebbe, of the Friediker Rebbe, so he's giving a bracha bekoach hamishalayach, and the bracha came true. He also told me that he heard that the Friediker Rebbe told him later, Itche, you gave the bracha, so it has to happen, but don't do it again. But anyway, all these things are just things that we heard, rumors, and I usually don't tell over these stories here because I only tell stories that happened, or I was there and it happened to our family, to us, or I heard it clearish from the person himself and things like that, but not just stump stories. But in the same meaning, I want to tell a story also with Negue the Friediker Rebbe that a shliach gave a bracha, and this is a

01:08 story that I heard firsthand clearish from my zeide. My zeide told me, actually we all know he was in Katrinoslav, and Reb Nisan Nemanov came there as a young man. He came there and he was collecting money for Temchetmimim v'Shlichas of the Friediker Rebbe. So when he was in Katrinoslav, he asked my zeide if my zeide could help him go around collect the money. So my zeide told him, my zeide told this to me, but he told him that with pleasure he would do it, but he pushed it, he's sick. He has stones in his gallbladder, which is big nisurim, and he pushed it, physically can't do it. So Reb Nisan got up and he said like this, since I'm a shadar of the Rebbe, I'm a shliach of the Rebbe, so I have the koach of the meshalayach. So I'm giving you a bracha, the koach hamishalayach, that the stones should go out and everything should be fine. Says the next morning he woke up and he felt the stones came out by itself and he felt completely better. And he said he actually helped him a lot to collect money for Temchetmimim. So here we see that there is the koach a shliach has, and obviously you have to do it with the mona pshuta, with the tmimus, with the truth, but the koach that a shliach has, the koach of the meshalayach.
