A Stuffed Lion, A Suit And A Rabbi

This week I have two stories for you, the first is about a Misnaged (an opposer to the Chassidim) who came to Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk to determine whether he was really a tzadik or a big fake and the second a story I heard on shabbos when a Haredi rabbi was asked by an injured former solider why Haredim like him don't have to serve in the IDF. If you're enjoying these chasidic stories, please take a quick moment to buy me a coffee. https://ko-fi.com/barakhullman Thank you! I deeply appreciate your support!
