It was not me but my wife, Dr. Nurit Yael Eisenmann who channeled the solution. It was not me but my 13 year old son, Chaim Yaakov (a yeshiva student) who answered the question why we don’t have Moshiach and the 3rd Temple. My wife and son have heard me give over the vort on the 220 year discrepancy repeatedly. The solution presented itself in total clarity. It was staring at me – and all of us – the whole time. They deserve credit.
My wife is an extraordinary person. A German Jewish convert, she learned English in medical school and became one of the top doctors today. Although she dreamed of becoming a flight attendant, she became a critical care physician who runs ICUs, an anesthesiologist with a specialty in cardiac anesthesia as a fellow of the Cleveland Clinic, Harvard and Case Western. She has credentials in many states and hospitals, and has served as Chairperson of the Credentialing Committee for one of the largest hospitals in Los Angeles. She prays for hours, is completely tznius, and never breaks Shabbat unless it is to save a life. Even when she is called into the hospital for an emergency case, she will walk home 7 miles. She has saved tens of thousands of lives, assisted in delivering tens of thousands of babies and called time of death on many souls. She is an angel of Hashem.
My son is also a very extraordinary person. He recently had his bar mitzvah, in fact, it was a shared event with my wedding to Nurit Yael. Chaim has never talked back to me, ever. He has never said “no” to me. I have never had to ask him to do something three times. He never uses profanity, does not speak badly about anyone, never complains, always sees the good in whatever the situation. His mother and I divorced when he was 2 years old. He has no memory of us together, and our legal battle over custody is as high conflict as it gets. He has every reason to be disrupted, but he chooses to wear payot, tzitzit and a kippah. He loves to learn Torah, and has been attending yeshiva since he was 11 years old. He is an angel of Hashem.
