אגרות קודש הרבי ח”ט ע’ סה.
“במה שהעתיק מספרים שקדמוהו שר’ אמנון פסק דינו במה שיענישוהו הנה צריך עיון אם אמיתי הוא כי אסור לחבול בעצמו וידוע שכמה ענינים בשלשלת הקבלה מפוקפקים ולא אמיתים וכמובא בכמה מקומות”

To those who question the story based on

“Ein odom chovel ess atzmo”. That does not apply to Reb Amnon who was a tzadik and did so to avoid a greater punishment he felt he deserved in the world to come. And this is no different then another tzadik in the Gemmoro called Choni hameagel Who accepted upon himself a punishment in order to avoid something worse -The lack of rain much needed in eretz Yisroel at that time.

I learned this story in Bais Rivkah every year. This story left an indelible impression on me to remain steadfast to Yiddishkeit. Thank you Rabbi Perl for telling it in a way that will have a lasting effect on our kids- ….who need to learn these lessons that our past generations took for granted…how to have Mesiras Nefesh for Yiddishkeit. KEEP THEM COMING!!

I heard that the Rebbe said that this story may not have happened the way it is told.

Best Rebbe tells Best story!

Oh, my best Rebbe Perl, how fond are my memories of you teaching me in Yeshiva. I am not sure, if I would have survived Yeshiva, if it wasn’t for you. Your teaching was exciting, and always looked forward to story time, at the ending of class. I don’t work in Chinuch, but take my hat off to those who do. Especially to the best Rebbe on earth! Hatzlocha Rabbo to my beloved Rebbe and Mentor Rabbi Sholom Perl.
