Hold It Straight

Refuah

A story ofRav Yissochor Dov Rokeachהרב יששכר דוב בן יהושע רוקח

Rav Nachum Aharon, the son of the Magrover Rav, had a crooked finger. From time to time the Magrover Rav would ask the Belzer Rebbe to pray for his son's recovery.

Once, before Kiddush, the Rebbe honored Rav Nachum with lifting up the Kiddush cup and placing it in the Rebbe's hands. Because of his crooked finger, Rav Nachum could not hold the cup straight. Seeing this, the Rebbe ordered him, "Hold your finger straight." He did, and from then on his finger was crooked no more. It straightened itself out and was healed.

The Rebbe explained that the Magrover's descendants would one day greet Melech HaMoshiach, and "how would it look if they were blemished? They do not allow baalei mum."
