People would come from far and wide to seek the sage counsel of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, known to his admirers as the “Alter Rebbe” (Old Rabbi). Once a wealthy man who was seeing a downturn in his fortune came to ask for advice. After he spelled out his troubles, the rabbi responded, “You speak of what you need, but say nothing of what you are needed for.” #wisdom #alterRebbe #chassidicTales #inspiration #quotes
