        <![CDATA[<p>Excerpt from David Ashear’s Living Emunah page 181:</p><p>Rav Pesach Eliyahu Falk told over:</p><p><br></p><p>There was an orphan boy studying in a yeshiva in the holy land.</p><p>His friends were all getting married, but he didn’t have enough money to start dating.</p><p><br></p><p>You know a wedding is an expensive thing and so is renting an apartment!</p><p>His friends assured him that he and his friends would take care of raising funds. And they tried to raise the money.</p><p><br></p><p>But they couldn’t come up with enough money, and the wedding was fast approaching.</p><p><br></p><p>Finally, the orphan said. Let’s call him Yossi. Yossi says  “Enough. I am going straight to Hashem.”</p><p>That Friday morning, he turned to Hashem, at the Kotel- at the western wall.</p><p><br></p><p>He turned to Hashem and said ,“Hashem, you know that both my kallah <br>(finance) and I are both orphans. <strong>You are our father. </strong>Please help us get married and start a family. </p><p><br></p><p>He took out a book of Tehillim (psalms) and read the whole book.</p><p>He said: ”Hashem, I’m not turning to humans anymore, I’m only turning to you.’ And he continued to say Tehillim.</p><p><br></p><p>A short while later, he felt a tap on his shoulder, and he turned around. “You look distressed, is there any way I can help you?”</p><p>Yossi said: </p><p>“No thank you. I am talking to Hashem, only he can help me.”</p><p><br></p><p>For the third time, the boy looked up and turned towards Hashem: </p><p>“Please help me. I don’t want to leave here until I see your salvation.”</p><p>Just then he felt another tap on the shoulder, it was the stranger again!</p><p><br></p><p>“ I heard you talking to Hashem, and you’re the person I’m looking for!</p><p>I will take care of everything you need. I just arrived in Eretz Yisrael (Israel) this morning. I had a major court case relating to taxes, and if I had lost, I would have been in poverty. I told Hashem that if I win the case, I will find an orphan boy or girl  who needs help with their wedding, and pay for the wedding, and continue to care for them after the wedding.
