The First Year
FRIDAY , 20TH OF NISSAN :
An individual came to the Rebbe and posed the question , “ When will the Rebbe accept the Nessius ?” The Rebbe replied , “ The Friediker Rebbe will say !”
There was a man who asked the Rebbe for Yechidus . Whereupon the Rebbe replied : “ To someone who wears a short jacket , do you want to go to him for Yechidus ? That ’ s not a Rebbe . Did you ever see a Rebbe wear a short jacket ?”
The man retorted , “ I didn ’ t come for the jacket ~ I came for the Rebbe !” The Rebbe granted him a Yechidus .

The Rebbe went to the Ohel . Rabbi Zalmen Gourary related that lately when anyone asked the Rebbe for a blessing for his business , the Rebbe would tell him to let him know all about the business before he went to the Ohel . When the Rebbe would return , he would enquire whether the situation had improved !
