There was a long line in the yard of 770. Chassidim alongside those not-yet-frum, adults and children, stood and waited for their turn to receive a dollar for tzedaka and a bracha from the Rebbe Melech Ha’Moshiach.
Our story took place in 5776, three years ago. You might remember that it was a Hakhel year. In a Hakhel year, Chassidim travel to the Rebbe en masse to be with the king. Not only during Tishrei is 770 packed with guests; it’s like that all year.
Rabbi and Mrs. Bernstein were married in the winter of 5769. From the very beginning, it was clear that the two were going out on shlichus to prepare another spot on the globe to greet Moshiach. “After the ‘first year’, equipped with a bracha from the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, we made our way to India and opened a Chabad House in the city of Cochin,” Rabbi Bernstein recalled.
In His Infinite Mercy,, G-d arranges for these unique dollars to be spread all over the globe. How? The Alm-ghty has many ways, and no one has any idea on how to reveal the Divine mystery of transporting these dollars from one place to another.
Amazing and moving stories on how dollars from the Rebbe came to people when they needed them most.
For many years, without his knowing why, a one-pound note was left unnoticed in R’ Avi Taub’s wallet, despite the fact that he had even changed wallets and re-checked its contents in the interim. It was discovered on the very day that Rabbi Dovid Katz, the Rebbe’s shliach in northwest London, needed special encouragement in the face of some serious problems he had encountered in preparing for his Chanukah outreach activities. An exciting and moving story.
The unbelievable story of a dollar that the Rebbe MH”M gave decades ago to a chassid from Australia and recently made its way, quite miraculously, to the vacation city of Cozumel, Mexico for the dedication of a Chassidic Talmud Torah there, accompanied by an amazingly Heaven-inspired letter in Igros Kodesh.
A dollar that the Rebbe gave for the birth of a child amazingly and miraculously reached that child, who was then a rabbinical student on shlichus in Miami, Florida. The Rebbe inquires about a child’s studies and surprisingly asks him an [un]expected question three times. And why did the Rebbe mention the name of a bachur in the middle of a farbrengen after he didn’t get an answer to his question? Three stories from the chassid, Rabbi Berel Pachter
