This week I have three stories for you. The first is about a simple water carrier who barely understands his own prayers, and who learns how to do a mitzvah with his full heart. The second is about a terrified shopkeeper in Tsarist Russia who runs to the Beit HaLevi, Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik, with the police just minutes from his door. And the third I heard from my teacher, Reb Sholom Brodt, of blessed memory: Reb Shlomo Carlebach is on his way home from Russia, and the young man walking him to the airport is in tears. 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!
