Rabbi Menachem Mendel Gluckowsky relates:

There was a rabbi at the Hillel house on campus at the University of Toronto, who was very successful with spreading Yiddishkeit. The students loved him.

This rabbi was close to my father Reb Avrohom Yaakov, and one day he asked my father to arrange for him a yechidus with the Rebbe.

He had a life question. He had long had a dream of becoming a doctor, and he had finally been accepted at the prestigious medical school at the University of Western Ontario, in London, Ontario. He was deliberating whether he should proceed with his plan.

When he presented his question, the Rebbe responded, “There are many Americans, Canadians, Chinese, Indians and Japanese, who want to become doctors. But very few want to be spiritual doctors.

“You are successful as a spiritual doctor,” the Rebbe concluded. “Let others be the physical doctors.”
