The following mindboggling incident, involving the saintly Chafetz Chaim, is related in the name of Rabbi Berel Wein:

Two people have become embroiled in an obsessive argument. The ugly dispute grew so out of control that it consumed their very lives and affairs, yet there was no end in sight, even after the sudden death of some of the quarreling partners’ children R’L.

Upon learning of the mysterious deaths, the Chafetz Chaim saw fit to personally intercede. He is said to have engaged one of the partner’s pleadingly: “Do you not see how this is harming your children! Don't you think it is time to stop?”

The following is the answer that the man is purported to have given: “I will bury all of them, but I am going to win.”

What is the significance in the Jewish calendar of the 28th day of the month of Sivan?

To the seasoned Chabad-Lubavitch chassid, the date is immediately recognizable as the day on which our Rebbe and Rebbetzin, of righteous memory, arrived safely in America in 1941, after escaping Nazi-occupied France.
