19 Kislev 5722 (2)

19 Kislev 5720 (probaly a different version) The story is told about when the Baal Hageulah V’hasimcha, the Alter Rebbe, went to be interrogated by the government, in the place where people would be taken afraid for their lives, so that they could decide if he is going to be killed or be given a different punishment. He went in with his Tefillin on - as the story is told by my father-in-law, the R...

Purim 5718 The Rebbe my father in-law on Purim once relayed: there was once a Jew who wasn’t so intellectual at all, a simple Jew which the harder words in Davening it was doubtful that he understood them.

10 Shvat 5719 Among the memoirs of the Rebbe my father-in-law the Ba’al Hahilula there is a whole booklet about his grandfather, a large part of the booklet also discusses his grandmother which her Yartzait is also on the tenth of Shvat. Among the stories there is a short story which has been printed already. He relates that when she was 18 years old she was very not well the Tzemach Tzedek -meani...
