The Rebbe
"What if someone comes to you and says, ‘Rabbi, I’m discouraged. I don’t know what to do next. I don’t seem to be able to progress.’"
"That’s why we have a Rebbe," Rabbi Eliezrie seemed to sympathize. "Our Rebbe gives us a little bit of warmth and vitality and energy and he helps us go forward. People right this minute, in Israel, in Australia, can listen to him. He is speaking right now in New York to about three to five thousand Jewish children. He speaks in Yiddish usually. People can listen to him on the radio, on cable television, and even phone and listen to his discourses. The Rebbe speaks and teaches and gives the Hasid guidance, strength and support. Right now, for the holidays, I know that there will be seven to eight thousand people traveling from all over the world to New York to be near the Rebbe. While he speaks in Yiddish, it’s translated into English and many other languages and broadcast over the whole world."
"You raise a very interesting point. This Rebbe who is being listened to throughout the world is obviously not considered an ordinary man or merely a teacher. There must be some kind of spiritual grace or blessing upon him and upon his sharing, must there not?" I asked.
