Itzik worked at the main branch of the Jerusalem post office and on his shift in the sorting department he came across an unstamped, poorly hand-written envelope, addressed to “Hashem.”

He opened it and discovered that it is from an elderly lady, Shifra Smadar, who was distressed because all her savings, $200, has been stolen. Unless there’s a miracle, she will be cold & hungry this Rosh Hashanah.

The letter struck a chord with Itzik who got the other postal workers together, and they came up with $180 to donate to her. They sent it by special courier the next morning.

A week later, Itzik was again in the sorting department and he recognized the same handwriting on another envelope. He opened it:

"Dear Hashem:

Thank you for the $180 for Rosh Hashanah. That was a real miracle!

P.S. It was $20 short but that was probably those filthy ganavim at the Post Office.
