Far Beyond Their Means
About this episode
This episode features two Chassidic stories about resilience in the face of adversity.
This week I have two stories for you. The first is about a Jewish innkeeper in Poland whose world falls apart when a fanatical priest turns the whole village against him — and what his childhood friend Jacob Kerpil does when he comes knocking at his door. The second is a very short story about the Bluzhover Rebbe, Rabbi Yisroel Spira, who lit the Chanukah candle in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp — and was asked a question he could not ignore. If you're enjoying these Chassidic stories, please take a quick moment to buy me a coffee. https://ko-fi.com/barakhullman Thank you! I deeply appreciate your support!
