Heavenly Deliverance

Sometimes, help is hard to come by. But Hashem has some very mysterious ways of providing assistance.

I clicked “Place Order” and exhaled slowly. Ordering materials for a new eiruv can get pricey, and this order for 750 U-Guards was no exception. I had just spent upward of $15,000 on these materials, which were due to be delivered to the Zucker home in Bayville, Florida, on the following Monday.

Speaking of delivery, there was more work to do. I clicked back onto my computer and reserved a forklift for that same Monday morning. There was absolutely no way anyone could unload 8 pallets of U-Guards, weighing in at 1,000 lbs each, without using a forklift to remove them from the delivery truck. The plan was for Rabbi Zucker to drive the forklift and deposit the U-guards in his backyard, where they would sit until I arrived on Tuesday and began using them. The plan was a good one, until things began to unravel.
