This week I have two stories for you, the first is when Herschel the Miser passed away no one cared, but when Reb Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev insisted that everyone attend they demanded to know why, the second about a Belzer chassid who slandered Chabad and the Lubavitcher Rebbe for putting tefillin on Jews that were not worthy.

If you're enjoying these Chassidic stories, please take a quick moment to buy me a coffee. https://ko-fi.com/barakhullman Thank you! I deeply appreciate your support!
