Chizuk - Inspiration I know a family who had a premature baby that needed blood to survive. The father donated blood and the baby’s brother “Moshe” also wanted to donate blood. There was one problem. The hospital sign said that you needed to be 17 to give blood. Moshe was only 16.


“But I am in my 17th year,” Moshe said. His father responded, “That doesn’t make you 17. You can’t represent that you are 17 and give blood.” Moshe pleaded, “I know, but I am in my 17th year, let me ask my Rebbie.” The father said firmly, “You are not 17 and no Rebbie can make you 17. You will not be donating blood.”

Chizuk - Inspiration Dovid was surprised to discover that the post office clerk had given him $2,000 worth of stamps instead of $200 worth of stamps for which he had paid. He resolved to return to the post office at his next opportunity to inform the post office of the error.


A few days later he returned to the post office, stamps in hand, and told the teller of the error. “Just a minute,” the teller replied. “The teller who made the mistake is working in the back at the moment.” After a short while, an extremely relieved looking man appeared at the teller window.

Chizuk - Inspiration Before World War Two, Ephraim Greenberg, a Belzer Chasid, made a living as a jeweler and developed a reputation as a scrupulously honest businessman. As a result, his business thrived. During the War, his business was shuttered and he was sent to the concentration camps. Ephraim survived the tortuous ordeal, but he emerged from the camps a broken man. He went to Sweden to heal his mind and spirit.
