Knowledge is Power -- G-dly Knowledge is SUPER POWER.
In the North, there lived a French Jew, Yehuda Ben Souson and as a result of a blessing he received from the Rebbe (Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson) through Rabbi Shmuel Azimov, it was born to him after ten years of Marriage an only child, a daughter.
At about ten years of age, the girl started complaining of severe pain in her head and after some tests, it was discovered she had a large tumor in her brain. Loi OLaini. Their only solution was to travel to Boston and consider their options once there.
The doctors in Boston offered two possibilities. One, to do an operation however, they could not guarantee she would awaken from it. The second option; leave things as is and she would last at the most another half a year.
The father immediately went to Brooklyn NY for a private audience with the Rebbe, and broke out in overwhelming cries.
The Rebbe looked at him and said, “When the month of Adar comes, one must increase in Joy and you came here to do the opposite??! Who gave you permission to bring depression into my room”? The father thought the Rebbe was making light of the situation in such a difficult moment, and started to cry out, “this is the life of my daughter”. The Rebbe held strongly on to his position and again responded to the father. “And, is that how you intend to save your daughter, by bringing depression and sadness into the room, in the month of Adar?”
The father said, he is prepared to be joyous, but how is that possible. The Rebbe answered. “Adar is a month of Joy because ‘everything was turned on its head’; The Rebbe then turned his hands over from right to left and said, “turned over, everything turned over”.
The father left the room, and suddenly remembered he forgot to ask the Rebbe what to do regarding the operation.
The father submitted a letter, and the Rebbe answered through the secretary, he already addressed the issue during the private audience. The father did consider the words “it’s all turned over” but still nevertheless insisted on receiving a clearer directive. The Rebbe answered. “If he insists on asking, he should take guidance by asking a third Doctor”. (The father only understood this entire exchange with the Rebbe later on.) The third Doctor advised them to go ahead with an operation. To the amazement of the Doctors when they opened the girls head there was no more tumor there. However, the operation had a great price on the daughter and she lost her ability to speak.
That Passover the family was staying with relatives in Flatbush NY and for the last meal of the holiday Moshiachs’ meal, they decided to walk to 770 Eastern Parkway and spend the meal as all Chassidim do with the Rebbe. During one of the breaks at the meal, the Rebbe called the father over, gave him two pieces of Matzah, and told him. “Matzah is the bread of cure and also the bread of faith. Give one piece to your daughter she should have a cure, and the other piece should be for you to have (more-deepened) faith. Your daughter doesn’t have to lose out because you are lacking in faith.”
Later on in the evening after Havdalah, when the Rebbe was giving everyone some wine, as the father was passing by, the Rebbe told him. “Normally the month of Nissan is a month of (energy for strengthening ones) faith, and then afterwards the month of Iyar is a month of (energy given to) cure. In your case however, “it’s all turned over”, and the cure of your daughter should not (have to) wait until you have faith. First she will be healthy and afterwards you will gain your faith.”
That evening, the daughter’s memory, and speech, came back to her.

The following is a PS to a letter sent by the Rebbe.
“You write regarding the Jew from Bulgaria, who says he is waiting to see miracles and wonders etc. and then …..(will observe more) …. tell him, that if he will look to his own past he will see many miracles and wonders, as long as he does not care to fool and dupe himself. And also, why would he want to challenge the Creator of the world and its conductor, that He, G-d forbid bring upon him, another time, to constricted straits, to a position of danger, and then have to save him! It is understood the fears there will have to be until the relief comes , when he was already in such situations in the past, and, was saved. It is only that the evil inclination is taunting him in order to keep him from fulfilling the commandments of the Creator of the World.
May it be G-ds will, you will “speak words from the heart that will certainly enter the heart” and he will go on the straight path, the path of Torah, our Torah, the Torah of Life, which is best for him, not only physically but also spiritually. – This alone that I write regarding a Jew I have never seen, who was in the past in a very dangerous situation and was saved , this alone should be enough (to have proven a G-dly sign) that immediately, as he receives this message, he should begin to put on Teffilin, eat kosher, keep Shabbat etc. May it be G-ds will you will share good news regarding this.”
It’s incredible the open miracles and prophecy of the Rebbe in these two situations.
