WEDNESDAY, 29TH OF SIVAN:
The Rebbe cried a lot today during Shacharis. Since it was Erev Rosh Chodesh the Rebbe traveled to the Ohel, but, only certain individuals traveled with him. Before he left, the Rebbe turned to those present and asked whether there was a Minyan. They answered that there are only nine, but the driver is Jewish so he can be the tenth. The Rebbe said to include him. When they arrived at the Ohel the Rebbe told the driver,“ G-d should grant that you should have Gishmei
Brocha.”
The Rebbe then asked that someone should explain to the driver what Gishmei Brocha is. It was explained to the driver that first one has to plant the seed, and only afterwards one can see the blessing.
It was told that the son of R. M. H. was very sick with a high fever. The doctors said that they must operate on the child. The Rebbe replied that there is no need to do so. The doctor was persistent, saying that if he was not allowed to operate he would not visit the patient any more. Every specialist dealing with the case agreed with the doctor, saying that they must operate. The Rebbe replied,“ again there is no need to operate. The child will be well!” The next morning the child felt better and the doctors were amazed at his recovery!
