Sholom Aleichem. Last week a dear friend was visiting New York from Florida with his son. He called me to ask how he could get to the resting place of the Rebbe in Queens. Since I was not in town at the time, I happily arranged with my friend Zalman to escort him to and his son to “Ohel”, which is the name used to describe the Rebbe's resting place, and then on to the airport for his flight home.

Zalman called me afterwards to share with me some of the conversation he enjoyed with my visiting friend. “He asked me why does Rabbi Yossy always speak about the Rebbe so much? Aren't there so many other great scholars and leaders in Israel? I explained to him that the Rebbe was much more than a scholar and leader. A Rebbe is a comprehensive soul that includes within it every other soul and can relate to each and every Jew in a most personal manner.”

I was glad Zalman explained things so beautifully. Both of my friends are absolutely right. I do indeed focus on the Rebbe and indeed the reason is because of the Rebbe's role in my life. Let me explain with a short story and the Rebbe's explanation:
