Traveling to the Rebbe, spending time in 770, has always been a cornerstone in the ruchniusdike life of a chossid. In one exchange, the Rebbe explained how this can also affect one’s livelihood.
Traveling to the Rebbe, spending time in 770, has always been a cornerstone in the ruchniusdike life of a chossid. In one exchange, the Rebbe explained how this can also affect one’s livelihood.
One chossid, who would spend time regularly in 770, didn’t come for the month of Tishrei 5715.
A few weeks later, the Rebbe sent him the following letter:
“I was surprised that you weren’t seen here at all over Tishrei. As much as you are involved in parnassa, you must know, and not forget, that parnassa is dictated on high during Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. And a Yid’s parnassa on high is dictated in accordance with his spiritual standing.”
The Rebbe concludes the calculation with how one can improve his spiritual standing: “When one spends time among Chassidim, frisht men zich up, one becomes refreshed!”
(Teshura Simpson Elul 5771)
