And so I did. And I went out at night in the winter in the cold. And came to Dashiv. And our anshei sh'lomaynu received me with great joy. And behold — the match was cancelled — for the other side did not come at all. And the entire journey was for my sake. For as I knew in my own heart — I could not travel without a cause from Hashem. And I remained there in the holy community of Dashiv. And I sent word to inform Rabbi Shimon. And he came to me. And I commanded him to hire a wagon for the week. And he could not find one. For it was known to us that — in all matters relating to the affairs of Rabbainu zichrono livracha — obstacles rise against one without measure. For it was a general rule that for every holy matter — many obstacles stood against it. But the obstacles that stood against things touching closeness to Rabbainu zichrono livracha and his people and his holy Torah — these rose and spread without measure. And behold — we hired a wagon to Teplik. And from there with great toil we hired a wagon for the week.
