Mr. “A.L.” lives in the Jewish community of Chicago. During the summer of 2007 he traveled 350 miles to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, for a three day business trip. Arriving shortly after 1:00pm, AL decided to “daven” (pray) the afternoon service before starting his appointments. His siddur (prayer book) had been packed together with his tefillin. He opened his suitcase and found the siddur, but noticed that his tefillin were absent. Frantically, he began searching everywhere throughout the interior of the car, the trunk, and his suitcase, but all to no avail.

AL was sure he had brought the tefillin with him, for he absolutely never leaves home without them. In fact, he had not missed a day of putting on tefillin in thirty-six years, so his present predicament had him feeling quite beside himself. Here he was, in a small mid-western city with no orthodox synagogue or rabbi (it was a three hundred mile round trip to the closest rabbi), and he needed a pair of tefillin for the next two days.

Today, Thursday the 6th of Iyar marks the 20th Yortzeit to the passing of Reb Yisroel HaLevi Duchman OBM. Reb Yisroel was known for his unique relationship with the Rebbe, and his special love and Ahavas Yisroel for every single Yid.

Reb Yisroel was a simple Chossid who never missed a day of davening in 770 with the Rebbe, which was highlighted by his Davening before the Omud on Simchas Torah.

May his Neshoma have an Aliyah.
