The Blessing Within – Quantifying Our True Worth

by Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov, Jax, Fl.

Rabbi DovBer of Lubavitch, would listen to the weekly Torah reading read by his father, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi. One year, his father was out of town for a Shabbos when the Admonition was read. After hearing the Admonition read by the substitute reader, the child was so emotionally upset that even a month later he had not fully recovered. The child was later asked, “Why were you not disturbed this way when the Admonition was read in past years?” The child replied, “When father reads, no curses are heard.”
