Thousands can attest to the Koach of the Tzadik of Reb Shaya ben Reb Moshe – known as Reb Shayale of Kerestir.

Throughout the year, tens of thousands make their way to the Kever of the ‘Mofes Hador’ seeking salvation, and one Lakewood resident was no different.

Being a developer in North Jersey, the Lakewood resident filed an construction application for a project – but was repeatedly rejected, though everything seemed to comply with the provisions.

Frustrated with the process, the developer decided to have Reb Shaya intercede on his behalf.

A friend of his was traveling to Kerestir, so he printed out the whole application and gave it to his friend to take to Reb Shayale.

The friend took the application, and placed in the entire folder onto the Tzion of Reb Shayale, Davening that the Tzadik put in a word for him.

Upon his friend’s return, the developer once again submitted the application – the exact same application which was repeatedly rejected.

This time, it was approved – with no explanations, other than the Zchus of the Tzadik Reb Shaya ben Reb Moshe.
