As hosts to this family during their stay in Crown Heights, we got to hear this story firsthand as it transpired. One can’t imagine the far reaching effect of a warm welcome and smile to a stranger, newcomer or a neighbor. As the woman confided to me, that it was only due to Mr. Klien’s pleasant and helpful demeanor, that she opened up and shared her deepest desire to have a Rebbe dollar for the health of her daughter.

This is a beautiful story and must give the Rebbe so much nachas!! It is so moving. Several years ago, a young man was in the hospital recuperating from a terrible accident. We met his parents, people who were very connected to the shliach in their town. I gave them one of my dollars as a segula until their son would recover…which BH, he did.

I can not imagine what it took to give someone their own Rebbe’s dollar, just like that, for no money. What a zchus to have been part of this families connection to yiddishkeit. May this selfless act continue to have rippled affects…
