Shluchim Kids Own Rebbe Stories

In honor of Yud Aleph Nissan, Chinuch Yaldei Hashluchim (CYH) teamed up with Shluchim Online School and created a Hachana for all Yaldei Hashluchim.

Children living on Shlichus are encouraged to submit stories about the Rebbe and their families for a new booklet, entitled “Our Rebbe, Our Nasi, Our Stories.”

“Stories are powerful, and even more so when we have a personal connection to the people in the story,” said Chanale Weisz, one of the project’s organizers. She says they plan to compile the stories in a booklet which will be printed and sent to all Shluchim’s homes.

“We are sure these inspirational stories will help our children feel connected the Rebbe,” she said.

The following are some of the stories submitted so far:

One time, my grandmother took my mother to visit the Rebbe. The Rebbe gave my Grandmother honey cake and my mother grabbed it and started to eat it so my grandmother was trying to take it away from my mother so she could share the piece with the rest of the family, But the Rebbe said to my grandmother “She can’t have?” and the Rebbe gave my grandmother another piece of honey cake!

One time someone from our Shul was very ill and needed a new part for her body. The doctors said that she might not get better because they couldn’t find this special part of the body to give to her to make her better.
My Tatty wrote a Pan to the Rebbe and the next day the doctors told her that they have the special body part and they hope it will help her get better. Six years later she is still healthy.

This past Sunday, March 18th, my parents went to a wedding to wish Mazal Tov to a family in Tucson. The brother of the Kallah, who was a medical student over 25 years ago, came over to my father and said “I want you to know.” He then started to cry, “19 years ago, my when my wife was in labor with the triplets, and you (my father) called in a Brocha to the Rebbe, and i want you to know that today, 19 years later, I have 3 beautiful and healthy children.”

My great grandfather R’ Dovid Schultz A”H was a Gerer Chossid who was in the Gerer Rebbe’s choir before WW2. After the holocaust my Elte Zaide moved to East New York and married tzu leing leben my great grandmother, who came from a prominent Lubavitcher family.
When the neighborhood that they lived in started to become worse, my Zaide wanted to move to Boro Park where all his friends were moving. After being married to my great grandmother he always asked the Rebbe before doing anything. When he went into Yechidus and told the Rebbe he wants to move to Boro Park, the Rebbe told him he should move to Crown Heights. My Zaide was surprised and also a little reluctant. The Rebbe told him it is for you and your family’s benefit to move to Crown Heights. My Zaide did what the Rebbe told him to do, even though all his friends laughed at him. (People at that time were moving out of Crown Heights). Eventually the house in Crown Heights is where my Bubby and Zaide (Shluchim in Worcester) stayed when they came to be by the Rebbe and when my father and all his siblings learned in Crown Heights they all stayed in Bubby and Zaide’s house in Crown Heights. My Elte Zaide would say Baruch Hashem ich hub gefolgt dem Rebbe. Der Rebbe hut altz gevust.
