IMPORTANT!
During a plague, the Malach Hamaves stores his weapons in the most unusual place. He keeps his deadly weapons in the
Beis Medrash. As the Gemara (Bava Kama 60:) states, דבר בעיר אל יכנס יחיד לבית הכנסת שמלאך המות מפקיד שם כליו
"If there's a plague in the city, do not go to the beis knesses alone, because the angel of death stores his weapons there."
Why does the Malach Hamaves store his weapons specifically in a beis medrash?
The Derech Moshe answers that the word דבר ,plague, come from דיבור ,speech, from
people speaking in the beis medrash. דבר and דיבור are similar words because the
malach hamaves gets his weapons to create a plague from the speaking that takes place in
the beis medrash, r'l.
EPIDEMIC IN THE CITY OF OSTROH
There was once a terrible epidemic in the city of Ostroh r'l, and everyone gathered in
the city's main beis medrash for a day of fasting, introspection, and tefillah. The Rav
stood in front of the community and proclaimed, "This epidemic came to us because of our sins – but we don't know
which sin. If someone knows of a sin taking place in this city, either by an individual or
by the public, please come forward to tell me and the beis din, as we have to figure out
which aveirah is causing the plague." Two people thought they might know
who was causing the plague. There was a person who used to daven with them every
day, and for some time, he had stopped attending beis medrash. There were also
other behaviors that aroused their suspicions and they decided to trail him to see where
he goes and what he does. At midnight, they saw him leave his home carrying a lantern.
They followed him and watched him leave the city and into the thick forest.
They didn't follow him further, and the next day, they reported to the Rav what they
saw. The Rav said, "Tonight, when you see him leaving for the forest, call me. The three of
us will follow him. We are doing this to benefit the entire city, to find out who is
committing the serious aveiros that brought on the epidemic. Don't be afraid."
That night, the two men and the Rav followed him into the forest. They could see
the man they were following because he held a lantern, but he couldn't see them.
They saw him sit down in the forest and heard him recite Tikun Chatzos accompanied
with bitter tears and anguish. They heard another voice, crying and wailing together
with him, but they didn't see anyone besides him.
Upon completing the Tikun Chatzos, as the man began heading out of the forest, the
Rav revealed himself. The Rav said, "We followed you in an attempt to figure out
who is sinning in our city, but now we know you are a true tzaddik. Please forgive us for
suspecting you, and please tell us, who is the second voice we heard? Who cried along
with you in the forest?" The man replied, "Every night at midnight, I cry over the
Churban Beis HaMikdash, and Heaven gave me a gift: Yirmiyahu HaNavi
comes to say Tikkun Chatzos together with me."
The Rav told him, "Please ask Yirmiyahu why we are suffering from this terrible
epidemic."
The man replied, "I will ask Yirmiyahu HaNavi, and tomorrow morning, I will come
to the beis medrash for Shacharis, and I will tell you what Yirmiyahu HaNavi answered."
The Rav returned to the city and announced that everyone should come for
Shacharis the following day, to hear the cause of the epidemic.
A large crowd came for Shacharis. It was time to daven, but the hidden tzaddik wasn't
there yet. The Rav said that they should begin davening. Soon afterward, the tzaddik
arrived donned in his tallis and tefillin, and his face shone with a very saintly appearance.
Everyone got scared afraid, and some people fainted. After Shacharis, in front of the
congregation, the Rav asked the hidden tzaddik why his presence caused so much
fear. The tzaddik replied that it's because he wears tefillin. As Chazal (Brachos 6.) say,
wearing tefillin causes people to be afraid. The Rav asked, "We all wear tefillin, and
yet it doesn't cast fear." The tzaddik replied, "I don't speak idle talk when I wear tefillin.
I am cautious with its holiness, therefore my tefillin have this segulah that it casts a holy fear on all."
The tzaddik added, "Idle talk is also the root of the epidemic. Yirmiyahu HaNavi
told me that people speak during the tefillah, which arose Hashem's anger. I stopped
coming to this beis medrash long ago because I couldn't take all the talking."
The community accepted upon themselves not to speak in the beis medrash during
tefillah, and the plague stopped immediately. They wrote this story on a plaque on one
of the walls of the beis medrash, so that it should never be forgotten. When visitors
came to the beis medrash and weren't aware of how strict they were about not speaking
during the tefillah, congregants would bring them over to the plaque and have them read
it. They did that without saying a word, and the newcomers learned to be silent during
the tefillah.
