This week I have three stories for you. The first is about a mother whose family goes through an unimaginable accident, and years later, a dream her son has the night before a big test. The second is about a young chassid of Rabbi Baruch of Mezhibuz who becomes convinced his own Rebbe might be even greater than the Baal Shem Tov himself. The third is about Rabbi Sholom Rokeach, the first Rebbe of Belz, stranded at the Russian border with his money running low, and the “work tools” he decides to unpack.
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.
Upon hearing the parsha teaching for this past Shabbat I thought of you and yiur shaeing Chassidic stories with us. While teaching us, they connect us some aspect of Chassidut, they are connecting us, to the Aibishter, to Judaism, to each other, to the world. Many thanks.
Blessings to you and your sweetest family for all the “richness” the Aibishter has for each of you. .
