122. A Rhuziner Prank

126. Becoming a Rhuziner Chassid

A chassid told the Ruzhiner Rebbe his deepest kavana came during Shema Yisrael. But the Rebbe wanted to know—what about when you say Pote’ach et yadecha? What does it really mean to be a Ruzhiner chassid?

125. What's Your Yichus?

The Ruzhiner Rebbe had a royal lineage from King David himself. But when his granddaughter married the son of Rav Hershele of Rimanov, the Rimanover’s “yichus” wasn’t a scroll—it was how he bought an extra apple each week l’kavod Shabbos.    Sometimes the holiest legacy isn’t inherited....it’s lived.

122. A Rhuziner Prank
