When Darkness Becomes Light  (Sukkot and Simchat Torah stories)

This week I have three stories for you. The first begins with a powerful count who sets out to rid his land of a Rebbe — and discovers that Heaven has other plans.
The second starts with an unexpected blessing from the Lubavitcher Rebbe that will one day turn a life upside down in the most miraculous way.
And the last opens on the streets of Poznań, where a city gathers to welcome its new Rav — unaware of the quiet wonder about to unfold.

The Empty Chariot

This week I have three stories for you. The first begins with Reb Zusha of Anipoli at a roadside inn, where a simple act sets in motion something that will return years later in the most unexpected way. The second opens in 1914, as Reb Meshi Zahav rushes to the Stoliner Rebbe for a blessing — and discovers that when a tzaddik says "stay," there's always a reason.And the last takes us to the town of Pandel, where Reb Chaim Veiler, a great Torah scholar, teaches us what true service looks like through the simplest of acts.
