The Chassidic Story Project with Barak Hullman - A Chassidic Story Every Week

This week I have three stories for you. The first is a story Reb Shlomo heard from the Sadigerer Rebbe on a Friday night in New York — about the Jewish community in Spain in 1492 and a decision they had to make. The second is about a Jewish woman in Poland who discovers a gold necklace and the secret it holds. The third is about Reb Yitzchak of Vorki and his very unusual grocery store.

This week I have two stories for you. The first is about a Jewish innkeeper in Poland whose world falls apart when a fanatical priest turns the whole village against him — and what his childhood friend Jacob Kerpil does when he comes knocking at his door. The second is a very short story about the Bluzhover Rebbe, Rabbi Yisroel Spira, who lit the Chanukah candle in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp — and was asked a question he could not ignore.

This week I have one long story for you. It's about Reb Adam Baal Shem of Ropshitz — one of the most powerful hidden masters of the generation before the Baal Shem Tov — and what he did when the king of Prague issued harsh decrees against the Jews.

This week I have three stories for you. The first is about Reb Menachem Mendel of Kosov, who stops a wealthy traveler on the road and asks him for money — not for himself, but for reasons the traveler doesn't yet understand. The second is about the Trisker Maggid, whose chassidim knew he never really slept — and about a skeptic who decided to find out the truth for himself. The third is about Rabbi Reuven Grozovsky, a great Rosh Yeshivah who had one lifelong practice he never broke — until the morning a young, embarrassed student came to help him.

The second is about an elderly patient who asks Rabbi Shmuel HaLevi Wosner whether he can still recite the blessing "Who has provided me with all my needs." The third is about Reb Itche Masmid, a chassid in Lubavitch who stands alone in the freezing cold on the last night of the month, begging God to let him see the moon.

This week I have four stories for you. The first is about a young chassid who abandons his wagon in a forest to spend Shavuos with the Alter Rebbe. The second is about a woman who walks into Rabbi Moshe Feller's Chabad house wanting to convert — and takes Judaism more seriously than the Jewish man she came with. The third is about Miri Gabay, who visited Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach after ten years of marriage with no children. And lastly, Reb Baruch of Mezhibuzh, the Baal Shem Tov's grandson, who made two trips to his grandfather's grave — and what he asked for each time.

The second is about one of the Alter Rebbe's closest disciples and what true humility looks like. The third is about Rav Yehuda Amital, a sick cow, and what Reb Shlomo Carlebach once heard in a honking horn on a Friday night in Manhattan.
