Summary

הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶק בְּסַפְּרוֹ לִבְנוֹ אַאַזְמוּ"ר מְאוֹרָע מֵחַיָּיו After the Tzemach Tzedek told his son, my revered grandfather, the Rebbe [Maharash], about an incident that once happened to him, סִיֵּים he concluded: מִיט דעֶם וואָס מעֶן העֶלפט אַ אִידעֶן אִין פַּרְנָסָה, “When one helps a Jew make a living, אֲפִילוּ פאַרדִינעֶן זִיבּעֶצִיג קאָפִּיקעֶס (מַטְבֵּעַ קְטַנָּה בְּרוּסְיָא) אִין אַ קעֶלבּעֶל even to earn a mere seventy kopkes when he’s selling a calf, אִיז אַלעֶ שַׁעֲרֵי הֵיכָלוֹת הָעֶלְיוֹנִים זַיינעֶן פאַר אִיהם אָפעֶן the gates of all of the heavenly palaces are open for him.” כַּעֲבוֹר כַּמָּה שָׁנִים סִפֵּר אַאַזְמוּ"ר כָּל הַנִּזְכָּר לְעֵיל לְאַאַמוּ"ר Several years later, my revered grandfather, the Rebbe [Maharash], told this whole story to my revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], וְהוֹסִיף and added: מ'בּאַדאַרף אֲפִילוּ וִויסעֶן דִי וועֶג צוּ דִי הֵיכָלוֹת הָעֶלְיוֹנִים “Though ideally one should know the path to the heavenly palaces, נאָר דאָס מאַכט נִיט אוֹיס this is not crucial. עֶס דאַרף זַיין דעֶר עִקָּר What is of fundamental importance העֶלפעֶן בְּלֵבָב שָׁלֵם מִיט אַ געֶפִיל is to help another person wholeheartedly and with warmth — האָבּעֶן אַ געֶשׁמאַק אִין אַ אִידעֶן טאָן אַ טוֹבָה to take pleasure in doing a fellow Jew a favor.” Text and Translation courtesy of Sichos in English For questions and follow-up: [email protected]
