Even more puzzling: how can someone else's prayers affect the situation of another - especially when the beneficiary didn't change, didn't ask, and may never know that someone else prayed for him?
This Shmuz deals with one of the most basic concepts of how HASHEM runs this world: how prayer affects the circumstances of our lives.
