We all dream of “falling in love” and being totally swept away in a wave of passion and excitement. We are certain that when we meet our destined one we will know without doubt in our hearts that this is "the one” We have this vision in our minds of how it's supposed to be, and when reality fails to live up to our expectations we are certain something must be wrong in the relationship.

So long as I am in New York City, I enjoy frequenting an informal eatery in the Chassidic neighborhood of Williamsburg. Usually, I meet an array of customers who like myself have patronized the establishment and meet there every Thursday night to enjoy heated cholent, pastrami, and conversation.

I enjoy exchanging Chassidic insights and traditions with the group who represent a number of Chassidic sects. Consistently, after having debated ideas and swapping scholarship, the dialogue becomes focused on the life, teachings, and example of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Judaism's beloved religious leader.

The young Chassidim of Satmar, Vishnitz, or Bobov that I passionately converse with are curious about the man who was a leader of men. They wish to learn from the teacher who was so called by eminent Torah giants. They are eager to make contact with the endless love for the Jewish people that was displayed and embodied in the person of the great Rebbe.

It was a Friday night. The *family was finishing their Shabbos meal when their 2 year-old suddenly began to choke on a small piece of watermelon. The panicked parents tried the traditional slaps on the back, but it failed to dislodge the obstruction. The child began to turn blue from lack of oxygen, r”l. Fortunately, an uncle, who had been taught the Heimlich maneuver years before, happened to be on hand. He quickly sprang into action, lifted the child and began to repeatedly perform the technique.
