The Tzaddik Lives

My father-in-law, the Rebbe, was connected to every single Jew. He sacrificed himself for young and old, small and great, alike. He also had open and clear self-sacrifice for the Torah books and manuscripts he painstakingly gathered and preserved.

The Talmud states about our forefather, Jacob: “As long as his children are alive, he, too, is alive.” When we live the teachings and mission of the Rebbe, our bond to him becomes everstronger, and in the words of the Talmud, “he too, is alive.”

Every book and manuscript which he owned are a part of his life, and he continues to be connected with them. G-d forbid to say that because a number of years have passed something has changed. To the contrary: Every passing year makes our personal bond with the Rebbe even stronger — and so the Rebbe, too, becomes even more alive.
