The creation of the United States. Without it, the Third Reich would still control all of Europe, and probably the Middle East.
I left my house and made the bus.
I walked to shul and did not trip.
I can go on and on.
America discovered by Columbus, sent by Ferdinand and Isabela who were responsible for the Spanish Inquisition in 1492 to have a place to escape to.
i can tell you one instance which Moshe Dayan saw clear evidence of Hasgacha
when Tzahal conquered the HarHabays during the 6 days war, and a lot of jews streamed to the kosel,
General Dayan did too; He did insert a ‘petek’ in the wall; one news reporter got curious as to what the he write, and he retrieved it;
this is what he found (per him)

The traffic light turned red, I stopped for the light and a car driving on the other street who had a green light did not crash into me
I was able to escape Sopron, Hungary after all other Jews did the same.
My miracle beats yours, Reb E: Hashem made sure I never even came to Sopron!

Common, thanks for the advice! I now tried this segulah and it worked!
First, a car behind me crashed into my car (expecting me to speed up as usual). So, I questioned the ways of Hashem … Then, insurance paid me for the total value of my junked car based on current inflated prices, my friend mechanic repaired it for close to nothing, and now I have both a car and money to pay for kids’ colleges!AAQ, that is the argument whether it is greater not to sin or sin and do teshuva. Is it better to be in Sopron and escape or never be there.
RebE, indeed! It is better to NOT be born in Sopron, but if you are born in Sopron, better escape and count your blessings!
Same as previously discussed comparison between Bavel and Israel – Bavlim learn how to argue and fight, but the best ones wrote a bigger Talmud.
But we should not argue – Hashem sends every person his own challenges and one should not be jealous – not of riches, not of challenges. You were strong enough to get to Sopron , I – to some other challenges (that I chose not to advertise here).
The archaeologists found an old synagogue from the thirteen hundreds indicating that Jews lived in Sopron a long time. In 1526 when the Turks took over part of Hungary, the Jews were chased out and they screamed that they have lived there for over 500 years going back to the time of the geonim.
So there was a big kehila there before WWII. The Soproner Rav, Rav Shimon Posen ztz’l was a great talmid chacham. The reason we left at the revolution because there was no yiddishkeit as everyone else left.@Reb E, I was always wondering about the Shopron Rav ztl, how did he morph from being a yikkeh to being a hard right satmarer. Asking because I am genuinely curious.
He was born in Frankfurt, Germany and was a talmid of the Minchas Elozor, the Munkacher. The Rav in Sopron before him was Rav Menachem Grunwald who passed away in 1929. Sopron, Oberland, was not chasiddish so he had to acclimate himself to the environment. My Rav in Sopron was the son in law of Rav Zitron, Rav Meir Krausz, who became Rav in Sydney, Australia and came afterwards to Monsey.
@Reb E, so Shopron in Willmbg today is a far cry from Shopron in der heim?
