Ein Od Milvado
Guest post by Reb Moshe Shlita
Lea Cohen, a'h, was more than special, she was a true Tzaddika and she gave her life to help people.
When Leah was young, she toured the world as a fashion model and had it all; money, fame, friends, and power. But throughout her entire life, she had a special gift -- she knew things before they actually occured. She simply saw things; visions would just come to her.
When Leah became a young adult, she realized that she has these visions for a reason and it was for the puropse to help and guide people. Eventually, she did Teshuva and since she was married, she began covering her hair.
For 20 years, Leah saw people night and day at her home in Seagate in Brooklyn, NY. Tousands of people from different backgrounds came seeking her help, including modern, secular, ultra-orthodox, and hasidic. She would listen to their stories and one by one, she helped them all.
My mother was Lea's best friend. One could say I pretty much spent my free time in her house. She and I spent so much time talking and laughing, she was like the aunt I never had.
On Yom Kippur of Tishrei of 2004, Lea Cohen was praying at the Chabad house. During the prayer break, she went missing. Her older son, Chaim, would later relate the following to us:
He was searching for his mother but could not find her anywhere. He looked for her everywhere, in the shul and on the streets but she was not to be found. Finally, he found her standing in front of the Aron Hakodesh with its doors open-- and her face was inside the Aron Kodesh. When he asked her what she was doing she simply answered, "I just told HaShem that if it will speed up the process of Moshiach's coming, I am ready to give up my life."
My friends, less than two weeks later, in the middle of Sukkos, Leah became ill and less than a week later on Simchas Torah, she passed away. She was a healthy woman and didn't have a history of any serious or non-serious illnesses. Just like that, she was gone.
Some time since Leah passed away, I started having dreams where I would see and talk with her. In my dreams, I knew she was no longer alive, yet had the feeling that she didn't really die.
Then the dreams stopped for a long time till finally one night she returned in my dreams. In my dream, I was walking in a shuk (market) in Israel. There were so many different stands where they were selling foods and fruits. As I passed by one of them located in the corner, I thought I saw Lea. I did a double take and I was right, it was her. She looked beautiful, healthy and full of life. She brought me into a small shack behind the stand where she was sitting. We started talking about various topics. In the dream, I realized I was dreaming and I asked her, "Lea, you're already up there, you know a lot more than we do. Please tell me when Moshiach will come." She answered me, "You want to know how to bring Moshiach?" I answered, "Yes". She replied, "If you want to Moshiach to come right away, you have to tell everyone you know to say the pasuk (passage) "Ein Od Milvado" every single day."
That was the end of the dream. When I woke up, I didn't think much about it but realized that the pasuk "Ein Od Milvado" was too random to be just a dream. It can't just be another dream but to avoid looking looking like a fool, I didn't say anything to anyone about it. I kept this dream to myself for about two years. UNTIL NOW.
This is the hard to believe part...
We went to my brother's in-laws for Shabbat and on Friday night after the Shabbos meal, my brother Shmuel, his father-in-law and I were sitting by the table and talking about Moshiach. Somebody mentioned that many Mekubalim in Israel are seriously talking about significant signs which now point to Moshiach's imminent arrival.
Then Shmuel told us a story about his friend who was in Israel a few years ago. His friend was unable to find a Kosher resturant in the part of town that he was in, so he called Shmuel and asked him to look for a kosher restaurant on the internet. Shmuel found one and gave him the address. Once there, his friend saw a sign on the door which read "This restuarant is open under the directive of the Lubavitcher Rebbe." He walked inside the restuarant and spoke with the owner, an older Chossid. The chossid told him an amazing story that happened to him with the Lubavitch Rebbe, zs'l...
"Years ago, I was in Crown Heights and on the day I was scheduled to return to Israel, I decided to visit 770 Eastern Parkway (headquarters of Chabad Lubavitch). When I walked into 770, it around the time of Mincha (the afternoon prayers). The Lubavitcher Rebbe himself stopped in front of me and said to me, "See me after Mincha in my office."
"I was shocked... I had a plane to catch right after Mincha but at this point, I was not too concerned if I miss my flight. Maybe I'd still be able to see the Rebbe and make it to my flight but if not, so not. After Mincha, I went up to the Rebbe's office and stood by his door. Seeing as how there wasn't anyone around, I was not sure what to do. I felt that it's disrespectful to knock on the Rebbe's door. About five minutes later, Rabbi Groner Shlita, the Rebbe's Seceretary, came by and asked me if he could help me. I told him that the Rebbe had requested that "I see him after Mincha." Rabbi Groner told me that if the Rebbe wanted me to see him, there would be no need to knock on his door, and I should just walk right in.
And so I did. As I entered, I realized that I had walked in on a very soul stirring moment. The Rebbe had his face in his hands. I didn't know what to do - should I leave, should I say something. Remember, this is the Lubavitcher Rebbe we're talking about.
The Rebbe picked his head up out of his hands and looked at me. I could tell that the Rebbe had been crying. Looking at me, the Rebbe started speaking, "There was an "Eis Ratzon"(a time which Heaven is open and many things can be asked for and granted) in Heaven for Moshiach to come. All I had to do was convince the Chassidim to say the pasuk 'Ein Od Milvado'. However, I was unsuccesful."
MY FRIENDS, when I heard these words come out of my brother's mouth, I nearly choked. I could not believe the words I just heard. The very pasuk which Lea Cohen, a'h, instructed me thru a dream to say and to tell others to say were now being repeated by my brother, coming directly from the Lubavitch Rebbe, zs'kl.
This could be the one link that unlocks it all.
Tell everyone you know to say Ein Od Milvado. This could be the final straw on the back of galus. PLEASE SAY IT A HUNDRED TIMES A DAY.
If people call you a weirdo, blame it on me. Let's do it and we might be able to bring Moshiach NOW. אין עוד מלבדו
