A frum Yid from Williamsburg had unwittingly gotten entangled in illegal business deals. When he realized his mistake, it was already too late. A severe court-hearing awaited him; a session that would last six hours and would rob him of his peace of mind.

A day before the court-hearing date, he promised $1,900.00 as a merit for the neshama of the Radashitzer zt”l, enunciating the verse that is said to protect one in such circumstances. He desperately hoped that this merit would protect him at tomorrow’s decisive court appearance.

According to the schedule, his hearing was slated to begin at 10:00 a.m. but he received a notice from the court that he should not appear before 1:30 p.m. He arrived in court at1:30, and – wonder of wonders – he exited the courthouse at 2:30, free of all charges.

Matters had been miraculously transformed. The hearing had been postponed, a six-hour session had taken less than one hour, and he had been deemed innocent, despite the extensive evidence against him. He had no doubt that the merit of the Radashitzer tzaddik had protected him.
