Rebbe Stories

Once upon a time Sholom was playing soccer with his crocks on! Then all of a sudden he tripped and fell very badly. So he went straight to the hospital, when the doctors checked him up they said he will for sure have to stay for months! and maybe after he will need a wheelchair! The situation was very bad the doctor called up the father and said "your son will need surgery, either  come back to america  and do the surgery their or stay here and do it here". A few hours later the father decided that he should come back to America. Sholom had a whole cast on his leg and went on his flight from Eretz Yisroel to America. While he (Sholom) was on his flight his father went to the Ohel and davened that his son won't need surgery. When Sholom arrived they said "There is no need for surgery!" When they went back home his father in amazement said it was all the Rebbe that made this happen!

My grandfather arrived in the USA around the year 5721 explained a young student. At that time his daughter my aunt, fell ill with a

terrible disease for which there is no known cure. The family were absolutely  devastated and had no idea what to do.  My grandfather immediately decided to write a

letter to the Rebbe Shlita and to ask for a blessing for his beloved daughter.

In the letter he included precise details of 

her illness and wrote that the doctors had said her life might be saved

by immediate surgery. However due to my grandfather’s great distress and haste he completely forgot to mention any names in the letter. He omitted his daughters name,  her mother’s name, and even his own! He handed the letter into the Rebbe's office, asking that it should be passed on to the Rebbe shlita immediately, as the situation was urgent.  The following day my grandfather was informed that there was an answer. The Rebbe Shlita himself wrote the reply on the actual letter, saying that there was no need for a operation as the doctors had been mistaken in their original diagnosis! In truth, his daughter was not suffering from that illness at all. Her complaint was nothing serious and she would soon recover. When my grandfather was shown the reply, it was pointed out to him the strange way which he had written the original letter. In fact,  when the Rebbe Shlita had given him the answer, he had told his secretary who to give it to because he left it unsigned.
