The righteous live by their faith. (Habakkuk 2:4)
A child was born to a certain family, and the baby cried morning and evening – not like other infants but terrible constant screeching. The family took the baby to doctors, to specialists only to be told that they could not find the cause of the nonstop crying and screaming. The parents then went to many rabbis who were skilled in spiritual and mystically potent remedies – but that too did not help. They actually became very discouraged as their son would not eat, drink, or sleep, he was always screeching and crying. It was not long before the sadness of the parents wore heavily upon them.
One day, the mother went to the market and found a page of holy writing on the street. Being a religious woman, although uneducated and illiterate, she bent over, picked it up, and thought to herself, “Perhaps the Holy One, blessed be He, will send a healing to my baby through this holy page.”
When she got home, she carefully cleaned off the page, which was covered with dirt, dried it and tenderly folded it. She then gently placed it under the baby’s pillow, with the silent prayer, “Ribbon shel olam – Master of the Universe, I don’t know how to read or write, but I know that this is a page of the holy Torah. May this page bring a holy cure for my son that he heal quickly from his suffering.”
That very night, for the first time in the baby slept soundly and peacefully without any disturbance, without any screeching or crying, so that it amazed everyone. He was quiet for a whole week.
One day, the child’s father asked his wife if she knew what had caused this miracle. She went over to the baby’s crib and took out from under the pillow the folded page of the Torah, which she showed to her husband and said, “Is there any cure in the world better than the words of Hashem? See how great the power of the holy Torah is!”
The husband, who could read and write, looked at the page and turned pale. He began to scream, “What have you done? Do you know what this page is? It’s from the Torah portion Tochachah (the Rebuke, a section of the Torah full of fearsome curses against evildoers Deuteronomy 28:15–69).
Look what it says here: ‘G-d will smite you with madness . . . you shall be terrified night and day. . . . In the morning you will say, “Oh that it were night!” And at night you will say, “Oh that it were morning!”’”

His wife answered calmly, “My dear husband, how could I know what’s written on the page? I can’t read or write. All I knew was that it’s a page from the holy Torah. I thought to myself, ‘In the merit of the Torah and of the divine Names written on this page, may the Holy One, blessed be He send a refuah sheleima (a complete healing) to our son.’ Are we not taught, ‘Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning?’ (Psalm 30:5) So I put the page under the pillow, and you see, it helped.’”
The distraught father looked at his wife (who was about to cry) and slowly smiled and told her:
Faith is the summit of the Torah (Mibhar haPeninim # 123 c.1050). How great is the power of faith that turns the harsh judgment of Heaven to mercy and turns curses into blessings!”
