THE DIVREI ," YECHEZKEL OF SHINOV ZT"L BEGAN LEADING HS CHASSIDIC COURT, WHEN HIS FATHER ( THE DIVREI CHAIM OF TZANZ ZT"L ) WAS STILL LIVING, SOMEONE CAME TO THE DIVREI CHAIM TO TELL HIM ABOUT HIS SON.
THE MAN SAID , " HE IS A TRUE REBBE BECAUSE HE IS A GENIUS IN TORAH "
THE DIVREI CHAIM REPLIED, "A GENIUS IN TORAH MIGHT BE CALLED A GAON, BUT THAT STILL DOES NOT MAKE HIM A REBBE."
THE MAN SAID, "HE ALSO DAVENS WITH IMMENSE FERVOR "
" DAVENING WELL CAN MAKE ONE A TZADDIK, BUT STILL DOES NOT MAKE HIM A REBBE "
" THERE IS MORE THE MAN SAID. " ONCE YOUR SON SAW SOMEONE SHIVERING IN THE COLD SNOW. YOUR SON, THE SHINOVER RAV, TOOK OFF HIS COAT AND GAVE IT FOR THE POOR PERSON TO KEEP. "
" NOW THAT MAKES HIM A REBBE, " THE DIVREI CHAIM CONCURRED.
BECAUSE THE HIGHEST LEVEL IS TO FORGO HIS OWN NEEDS AND FOCUSES ON THE NEEDS OF OTHERS.
