Now, let's say she would have agreed and you would have told her that putting a mezuza on her door would help with all her problems (or even some of them). She would have put that mezuza there, not for the mitzva, but to get her car working.
Now ... let's go two months or two years down the road. In Shamayim they were waiting for her to keep Shabbos or Kosher or TH or it would happen anyway for some other reason even if she was the biggest tzadekes in the world or worse things could have happened and this was the least problem or....or.....or...... (we have no way of knowing)
So she has a kosher lemehadrin mezuza on her door, and all the problems are still there.
So now what does she think about mezuzas, frum people or Judaism?
So maybe it's better she wasn't interested |
ok I'll try and type up this story I heard in as brief a way as possible
guy from frum home left his home and went off the derech
went to america (from E"Y) met a non jewish girl, fell in love wants to marry her
somehow the family got in touch with a chabad shaliach and asked for his help
guy gets in touch with this man, I can't remember the ins and outs but the man says, if you want to meet with me and talk you can on one condition, don't bother trying to tell me to break it off with her.
I think at some point either the shaliach contacts the Rebbe and the rebbe tells him mezuzas or he thinks of it himself but somehow he manages to get this guy to put mezuzas on his door.
to make a long story short, soon as mezuza goes up sholom bayis problems start.
girl realizes this has something to do with the mezuzas and tries to get him to take them down. guy refuses
one day girl gets really mad and pulls them down herself
guy leaves girl, comes back to yiddishkeit
The end

and he lives happily ever after ...
Hoping they got a mezuzah since ... but I think a simple approach would be to tell her about all the segulahs involved in putting mezuzah up ... how it is like a shomer ... especially since her car accidents ...

My mother fell and broke her leg last year... Then the rehab sent her home too early, and she fell again and broke her wrist..
I took her scroll to the Rabbi, and he said who ever wrote it made ALOT of mistakes and it's not kosher..
So I bought two new scrolls. One for her door and one for her bedroom..
She vented and kfetched that I am turning her home into my home. But I pointed out that I only put it on two doors... and believeme there are plenty of places for me to put more scrolls, but I am not pushing the issue..
B"H since this was done she's improving and has not fallen since...btw she has not complained either... btw she was also dating someone not jewish, and "mysteriously" since the scrolls went up he vanished.
