Once a Rabbi who was active in various educational programs in the Orthodox community came to consult the Rebbe about them at yechidus. At the end of the yechidus, he requested a blessing for his son, Moshe, who was suffering from pneumonia.

The Rebbe asked for the name of the child’s mother. The Rabbi answered: “Fruma.” The Rebbe then gave his blessing. Shortly afterwards, Moshe recovered.

Fifteen years later, this same Rabbi came to see the Rebbe at yechidus regarding another communal matter. As he entered the Rebbe’s room, the Rebbe greeted him: “How is your son doing?”

“I have three sons,” the Rabbi answered. “About which son is the Rebbe asking?”

“Moshe ben Fruma,” the Rebbe replied.
