The story of a car driver who became rich was retold by the Rebbe at a farbrengen, offering a lesson for all chassidim. Here’s why it’s especially relevant today.
A powerful story with an ever-relevant lesson was related by the Rebbe at the farbrengen of Purim, 5747.
“There is a well-known story regarding the printing of the works of the Tzemach Tzedek. The Frierdiker Rebbe requested of a certain Jew here in America that he cover the costs of printing, in spite of the fact that it far exceeded his means. After he agreed, his income increased to the extent that not only was he able to pay for the printing, but he became a very wealthy man.
“The Frierdiker Rebbe explained that he really was unable to afford this project; in fact, his job – a driver – was such that there was no palpable way for his income to increase, but after he made the resolution to undertake it, new ‘pipelines’ of heavenly blessings were opened to him to enable him to carry it through.”
Why is this story relevant now?
Currently, there is a campaign underway to help spread Chasidus to every Yid, at every level. Supporting Or Hachasidus, which recently marked its 20th anniversary since its founding, the campaign will allow them to continue and grow their work of spreading Chasidus through special publications, seforim, and unique initiatives such as a mobile Chasidus truck.
Seize the opportunity to also merit this bracha, creating new pipelines of heavenly blessings through your support of hafatzas hamayanos.
