The Zohar teaches that “A tzadik who departs is to be found in all worlds more than in his life-time.” Famed Chassidic Master, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, notes that this includes the physical world. The tzadik’s departure, that is, relates only to the direct experience of him through our empirical senses. We no longer see his loving smile, hear his holy word, kiss his blessed hand. But the Tzadik’s impact on the terrestrial world and on those who flock to his hallowed resting place is greater than during his life time. Free of his corporeal limitations, the tzadik graces us with the full impact of his spiritual energies, imparting to us the love and fear of G-d, and showering us with abundant blessing and extraordinary miracles.
Upon the passing of his father-in-law and predecessor, the Rebbe advised people to continue jotting down their requests and to read the note (or place it on the table) in the room where he received people during his lifetime or at his graveside. “The Rebbe,” he said, “will find a way to respond.” In a similar fashion, Jews around the globe today continue seeking direction, blessing, and advice from the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, visiting his resting place or slipping a note into a volume of his holy work. Here are their stories and how the Rebbe came through for them in extraordinary ways.
In the two and a half decades since the “departure” of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, numerous individuals around the globe have had their lives touched by the Rebbe in extraordinary ways. RebbeStory.org aims to share these experiences with you, your friends, your family, and your world. In addition to serving as an inspiration toward spiritual growth and commitment, the telling of these stories will greatly hasten the messianic redemption, for, as noted by the Rebbe in a profound talk in 1992, sharing with the world the miracles G-d performs through the righteous profoundly increases G-d’s glory and inspires Him to bestow His Presence upon us in an age of perfection and peace.
