This week I have three stories for you. The first about the Alter Rebbe when he was a young many giving advice to a simple innkeeper, the second about Baba Sali building a mikvah in the Sahara Desert during the summer and the last about Reb Mendel Futerfas in the Gulag.
If you’re enjoying these Chassidic stories, please take a quick moment to buy me a coffee. https://ko-fi.com/barakhullman Thank you! I deeply appreciate your support!

Aleichem Shalom our sweetest friend,
This site is very well organized. Very impressive. Thank you for sharing these inspiring teaching stories with us. I want to be like Reb Mendel. B’ezrat Hashem I will be.
May you only have good news.
Blessings to go from strength to strength.
B’ezrat Hashem for the continuing unity of the people Israel.
May to you merit to see revealed good in all things and revealed blessings.
We want Moshiach now.
More mitzvahs. More acts of kindness. More generosity with more than money. More light. More positivity. More tzedaka. More study. More. More. More.
You are certainly doing your part. We must do ours.
Zei gezundt.
