Shortly before Yom Tov, Rabbi Shimon Zeida received an urgent request to travel to Colombia to perform four brisos. Springing into action, Rabbi Zeida quickly raised the necessary funds, arranged the logistics, and flew down to South America to perform the brisos.

Following the simchas, local residents asked him to check their tefillin. Upon inspecting them, Rabbi Zeida discovered that 10 of the pairs were unfortunately posul.
