Rav Blau's Bracha

Told by Mrs. Alana O.
My father was very close to Rabbi Blau, so when we became engaged we naturally went to Rabbi Blau for a Brachah. After giving us Birkas Kohanim, he told us that “no one should touch any of your belongings, all your belongings should be safe”. My Choson thought that it was a strange comment, but we forgot about it. Months later I needed to have an emergency surgery and we rushed to the hospital leaving one of our windows a crack open. When we came back we realized that a burglar has attempted to enter our home through that window, but was deterred after our alarm system went off. Had he been successful he would have certainly found my jewelry that was lying on the dresser opposite the window… Only then did we remind ourselves about Rabbi Blau’s Brachah.

Rabbi Blau gave my husband a Brachah that he should get married during that year. He wasn’t even going out then. Later we got engaged and got married two days before Rosh Hashanah! This is especially interesting because our original plan was to get married after Rosh Hashanah and it was only changed at the last minute.
