In keeping with the article by the previous rebbi (?) called "Lamp Lighters" that describes what a Chassid is - it was particularly poignant to hear Dr. Block, in my eyes the quintessential Lamp Lighter, retell this story about his Rebbi!

My job description

What a wonderful explanation the Rebbe gave about what his "job" was. Everything is so plausible, you are able to see the current of electricity right in front of your eyes, when it starts at Niagarafall, how it is going its way through the wires to its destined place, and we have only to switch the light on...

And He, the Rebbe, tells, where the switch is. Here, the truth is so simple. I am impressed.
