R’ Chaim Instructs Divorced Man to Remain in Israel for a Shidduch

(Tuesday, January 7th, 2014)
KanievskyA well known chareidi businessman visited HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita accompanied by his son, seeking a bracha from the rav for his son. The man explained they were traveling abroad in the hope of finding a shidduch for his son, who is divorced. Rav Chaim told him not to travel abroad but to remain in Israel and find a shidduch here, Kikar Shabbos reports.
The father explained to the rav that he is pained, for his son is older and has been divorced for a number of years and he has not been successful finding a shidduch in Israel. Therefore, they have decided to buy tickets to travel to the United States in the hope of finding a suitable shidduch there.
Rav Kanievsky thought for a brief period and then instructed father and son to try here again. The dad explained they already have the tickets in hand. The rav remained firm in his decision, adding in the zechus of remaining in Eretz Yisrael a shidduch will be found soon.
The story ends as one would expect. An exemplary shidduch was offered the following week and the couple was married this week. The chosson and kallah along with their families visited with Rav Chaim to close the circle with the gadol hador and a plate was broken in his home
I AM NOT SURPRISED !
I HAVE STORY'S LIKE THIS FROM THE BEIS YISROEL AND OTHER GEDOLIM.
LIKE THE STORY OF THE KLAUSENBURGER RABBI ON THE DEATH MARCH AND THE WATER IN THE FIELD, I HEARD IT FROM A PERSON WHO WAS THERE.
BUT RABBIS ARE THERE TO PLANT IN YIDISHKEIT TO JEWISH PEOPLE THAT IS THE BIGGEST MIRACLE THEY CAN DO.
THE KLAUSENBURGER RABBI WAS SITING IN FRONT OF HIS BARRACK AFTER THE WAR IN BERGEN  BELSEN CAMP.
A YOUNG GIRL WALKED PAST THE REBBE AND SHE DID NOT HAVE STOCKINGS TO COVER HER LEGS.
THE REBBE CALLED HER OVER AND ASKED WHY SHE DID NOT COVER HER LEGS,  SHE ANSWERED THE REBBE: " WE ARE JUST AFTER THE WAR EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN FREED, WE ARE STILL HERE IN BERGEN BELSEN CAMP, (no one wants us) IS THIS THE ONLY WORRY THE REBBE HAS ? ?
THE REBBE TOOK OF HIS WHITE SOCKS AND SAID TO HER: 
" I AM A REBBE WITH WHITE SOCKS OR WITHOUT ! ! ! "
YOU WILL NOT BE A JEWISH GIRL IF YOU DO NOT COVER YOUR LEGS.
THE STORY ONLY CAME OUT BY THE SHIVA OF THE HOLY KLAUSENBURGER REBBE WHEN THIS LADY CAME TO THE SHIVA AND SHOWED THE REBETZEHN THESE HOLY SOCKS.
THE STORY SHOWS A GREATER LESSON FROM OUR RABBIS AFTER THE WAR HE LOST 11 CHILDREN IN THE WAR
HE STILL HAD BELIEVE IN G=D AND DID NOT DESPAIR.
