Weekly Story: A Custom of Reb Itche the Masmid
This past week, three people asked me about a story that is told about Reb Yitzchok Horowitz / Gurewitz, who is known as Reb Itche the Masmid. As is known, Reb Itche the Masmid was an exceptional chossid, who even on a regular weekday davened for many hours. It is also known that he had accepted upon himself certain stringencies, that barely anyone else accepted upon themselves. The story I was asked, was about one of his stringencies concerning Pesach.
