Michal, a young divorced mother of one, hoped to build a home through a second marriage. She attended the Bat Ayin hillula and made a donation in honor of the tzaddik. The testimony submitted to the site describes a remarkable sequence of events that the couple associated with the hillula.
Two prayers at the same time
According to the testimony, at the very time Michal was taking part in the hillula, her future husband’s rabbi took him to the Bat Ayin’s resting place in Safed to pray for a match. He, too, was divorced and hoped to establish a new home.
A year later, the story came full circle: they married on the Bat Ayin’s hillula, 12 Kislev. Their wedding took place in the same hall that had hosted the previous year’s hillula—the place Michal had entered hoping to build a home became the place where she married.
