Stories for the week
Parshas BeshalachWhy Moshe Said "The Rebellious Ones Will Not Exalt Themselves"As I Heard Them, Vol. 1, p. 411, no. 45 My zeide related — I don’t remember in whose name — that Moshe Rabbeinu, fearful lest the Egyptians gain access to the wondrous G-dly revelations at Krias Yam Suf, said in Tehillim 66: The rebellious ones will not exalt themselves.45 “The rebellious ones” refers to the Egyptians; and the intention is, Hinder them from reaching exalted heights.
Amalek Cannot Reach One Who Is With ChassidimAs I Heard Them, Vol. 1, p. 354, no. 56 My zeide recounted what he heard from Reb Aizel of Homil: עמלק לך עשה אשר את זכור – Remember what Amalek did to you [on the way, when you went out of Egypt.]31 Amalek can only attack someone who is “לך – to you”32 — who separates himself from others. But one who mingles with chassidim is beyond Amalek’s reach. Havdalah in Leningrad: Evtach V'lo EfchodAs I Heard Them, Vol. 1, p. 396, no. 24 Throughout the winter of 5685 (1925) in Leningrad, the Rebbe made Havdalah alone every motzaei Shabbos. He stood at the end of the table near the door; his mother, Rebbetzin Shterna Sarah, stood near the other door together with Rebbetzin Nechama Dinah. His words, Evtach v’lo efchod (I am confident and shall not fear), resonate in my ears until today. The Zeide's Shabbos: Chassidus Twice and Bnei HeichalahAs I Heard Them, Vol. 1, pp. 330-331, no. 21 My zeide was accustomed to say Chassidus twice on Shabbos: between Kabbalas Shabbos and Maariv, and at Shalosh-Seudos. My grandmother would bake small challos; a minyan would wash for bread, and fish and compote were served. Bnei Heichalah16 was sung with its familiar nigun, followed by another nigun before Chassidus; and after the maamar they would recite the bentching.
