No One Knows What Tomorrow May Bring
This week I have three stories for you. The first is about Reb Menachem Mendel of Kosov, who stops a wealthy traveler on the road and asks him for money — not for himself, but for reasons the traveler doesn't yet understand. The second is about the Trisker Maggid, whose chassidim knew he never really slept — and about a skeptic who decided to find out the truth for himself. The third is about Rabbi Reuven Grozovsky, a great Rosh Yeshivah who had one lifelong practice he never broke — until the morning a young, embarrassed student came to help him.

The One Thing I Can Still Give
This week I have three stories for you. The first is about Moishe Dovid, a simple Jew who saves five hundred rubles over years of sacrifice and arrives at the door of the heilige Chernovitzer on a Friday afternoon. The second is about an elderly patient who asks Rabbi Shmuel HaLevi Wosner whether he can still recite the blessing "Who has provided me with all my needs." The third is about Reb Itche Masmid, a chassid in Lubavitch who stands alone in the freezing cold on the last night of the month, begging God to let him see the moon.

Why Aren't We Screaming? Shavuot Stories
This week I have four stories for you. The first is about a young chassid who abandons his wagon in a forest to spend Shavuos with the Alter Rebbe. The second is about a woman who walks into Rabbi Moshe Feller's Chabad house wanting to convert — and takes Judaism more seriously than the Jewish man she came with. The third is about Miri Gabay, who visited Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach after ten years of marriage with no children. And lastly, Reb Baruch of Mezhibuzh, the Baal Shem Tov's grandson, who made two trips to his grandfather's grave — and what he asked for each time.

I'm Jewish and I Don't Keep Shabbos

The second is about one of the Alter Rebbe's closest disciples and what true humility looks like.

You Call That Learning?
This week I have three stories for you. The first is about a young scholar living in the court of the Kotzker Rebbe, and a question his father-in-law asked that took him forty years to understand. The second is about the Ohev Yisrael of Apta and what happened to him on a journey to Warsaw that nobody who honored him could have predicted. The third is about a man who was absolutely certain that Eliyahu HaNavi and Moshiach were living in his city, and what Reb Simcha Bunem of Pshis'cha said when he came to tell him the news.
