This week I have two stories for you. The first is about a poor melamed named who leaves home with just enough money for a beautiful esrog and a chance encounter on the road to Lemberg changes everything. The second is about Reb Zusha being cold on a freezing night in a Russian sukkah and then all of the stories from previous years.

The second is about Reb Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, who stops his own shofar blower right in the middle of Rosh Hashana and calls a simple Jew up from the back of the shul to take his place.

This week I have three stories for you. The first is about a mother whose family goes through an unimaginable accident, and years later, a dream her son has the night before a big test. The second is about a young chassid of Rabbi Baruch of Mezhibuz who becomes convinced his own Rebbe might be even greater than the Baal Shem Tov himself. The third is about Rabbi Sholom Rokeach, the first Rebbe of Belz, stranded at the Russian border with his money running low, and the "work tools" he decides to unpack.

The second is about a poor father in Mezhibuzh who the Baal Shem Tov tells to promise two thousand rubles he doesn't have — and a wealthy merchant in a forest far away who made a vow he forgot.
