                                                     Daf Hashavua

Yoma  53b

                   The Gadol Hador Davened  for a raincoat

The Gemoro tells the story of R. Chanina Ben Dosa, who was walking

on the street and the  rain came down on him. He Davened to Hashem

and said,” the whole world has comfort and Chanina is in pain.”

The Maharsha asks how could it be, The Chosid R. Chanina B.D. would

ask  Hashem to stop the rain for the whole world , for his personal

comfort, even at the expense of the rest of the world.

The Ben Yehodo  (Ben Ish Chai) answers ," all he asked from

 Hashem  was, he should manage to  find a coat to protect him from the rain.

However, Hashem stopped the rain instead, Lekovod R.Ch.B.D."
