0:00 Wait here, we are bringing you down too. - Oh, our tzaddik! How are you? Do you remember me? - He was waiting to come to the Rav. - How do you feel? Is everything good? May His name be praised. How wonderful. - Last year, in 5782, not on us, we received unpleasant news.
0:26 They told us that this little tzaddik was sick with an illness. He had the illness in the intestine and in the liver; it is called... a very aggressive cancer that spreads at a rapid pace. With Heavenly help we began chemotherapy treatments, really very hard ones.
0:50 And my friend Noam called me. He said to me, listen, you must come to the Rav. I said to him: "No problem, I will come to the Rav." That very moment, on that day that he called me, it was after the second round of treatments. I told him, I am coming with you to the Rav. That same day we brought him from the hospital. We drove to the Rav; the boy was connected to morphine and to TPN. That is feeding through the vein. He was really a shadow of himself.
1:14 We really came to the Rav. The Rav, like a merciful father, with a gentleness reserved only for the Rav, blessed him, stroked him. And then I said to the Rav, like this, in tears, I said to him, Rav, listen: the boy is suffering; every five minutes I press the morphine for him. It is no longer possible. He eats through the vein. Rav, make it that we will not need this. In short, the Rav said to me, listen, you go back to the hospital.
1:41 You will no longer need either the morphine or the food through the vein. And we came to the hospital; I told this to my wife. I went back with him to the hospital. I said to my wife, listen, the Rav promised that we no longer need the morphine and we do not need the food through the vein. My wife went to the doctor, to the doctor who treats us in the ward, and said to him: "Listen, we were at the Rav.
2:05 The Rav said that we will no longer need the morphine, we will not need the TPN." Now, after this chemotherapy treatment, usually the immune system goes down, and then there is a germ called mucositis. It attacks the immune system, and then, may it not happen to you, it brings out sores from the mouth to the rectum, and then one needs morphine so as not to feel the pains, and he cannot eat through the mouth. We came to the hospital after the treatment. A day goes by, two, three, four days...

2:31 and the boy is not connected. The doctor laughed at us at first. He told us, do not worry, I will connect you on Motzaei Shabbos. Since then, thank G-d, we have done two more rounds of treatments. Once he did not need the morphine; they did not connect him to morphine, and the TPN - thank G-d he ate on his own strength; miracles above nature. Here we are now, thank G-d, after seven months. - Look at this tzaddik. His hair is full, the smile on his face. Hashem did great miracles with us.
2:56 May His name be praised. - How wonderful. Now you take him on trips, right? - First of all we took him straight to the Rav. - To make a feast, and then we will make trips. - Give thanks to Hashem; say Psalm 150. Praise the great name of the Holy One, blessed be He, and buy him a gift, with G-d's help, all right. - The Holy One, blessed be He, will make you happy and you will have a good life. - We saw, Rav, great miracles. The Rav promised... he had suffering, that he was eating through the vein, and the morphine.
3:28 Since he was at the Rav, we had miracles above the way of nature. Something not comprehensible at all, the miracles that Hashem did with us. We thank the Rav for the Rav healing the boy. - It is all the great, mighty and awesome G-d who heard us, who heard the prayers that the Jewish people prayed, that the Holy One, blessed be He, should save you, tzaddik. May you have joy, and from today on you will be happy and praised and playing. And you are happy, right; Dad will take you now to beautiful places, and you will no longer go to that place there, all right.
4:00 And may you be happy, tzaddik. Be joyful and happy, and holy and pure. And the great G-d, blessed be He, hears the prayers of the Jewish people; may He guard you. Be happy, tzaddikim.
