To Know and To Care
Volume 2
Every person who has developed a relationship with the Rebbe has his own way of talking about him. But every person also realizes that his viewpoint is only a limited one and that there is something much greater about the Rebbe that he cannot describe. Nevertheless, by seeing a variety of these personal perspectives, it is possible to develop a heightened sensitivity to what that greater dimension is.
It is our feeling that stories express this best. Stories are alive. In contrast to a biography, which may often represent an academic perspective on a person’s life, in stories his responses to the people and the circumstances he encounters breathe with vitality. Besides, biographies come with explicit or implied conclusions; stories quietly allow the reader to draw his own.
Introduction: Telling Stories A Rebbe’s wisdom is wisdom; his emotions are emotions, and his directives are directives. But when encountering and relating to a Rebbe, there is something that transcends intellect and emotion, something that you can’t put your finger on.
