| There is a wonderful story told about some Chassidim who hid to watch their rebbe pray in the morning. |
|
| There is a Hassidic story about a rebbe who saw a frantically busy man, and he asked the man where he was running in such a frenzied rush. |
|
| He was also concerned about the concept of the rebbe as it made each community extremely dependent on one person's interpretation of Judaism. |
|
| As a young scholar, the great chassidic rebbe, Reb Bunim, traveled extensively on business throughout Eastern Europe. |
|
| Being obedient disciples, they got in their carriages and followed their rebbe. |
|
| Cutting across these lines, there is the question of how to interpret the assertion, proffered by the Rebbe himself, that a rebbe is the Essence and Being of God. |
|
| The rebbe looked at one of the peasants and put out his hand with his palm to the ceiling. |
|
| So says Grand Rabbi Y. A. Korff, rebbe of the Zhvil-Mezbuz Hasidic sect. |
|
| In February 1992, Rabbi Shach, himself an eminent Rabbi, branded the Lubavitcher Rebbe as a heretic, who harboured messianic pretensions. |
|
| There were several thousand Hasidim present, singing and chanting and dancing around their Master, the late Rebbe Menahem Mendel Schneerson. |
|
| The Lubavitcher Rebbe emphasizes that these remarkable events are merely a prelude to the final redemption. |
|
| Rebbe Nachman of Breslev explains that by finding a good point in a wicked person, the latter is spiritually elevated and induced to do teshuva. |
|
| Talk of the moshiach increased and the fact that the Rebbe cold not talk did nothing to detract Lubavitchers from the messianic belief. |
|
| Although one does not need to be an ordained Rabbi to be a Rebbe, most Rebbes today are ordained Rabbis. |
|
| Since one does not need to be an ordained Rabbi to be a Rebbe, at some points in history there were female Rebbes as well, particularly the Maiden of Ludmir. |
