Grabbing and Saving Neshamos

GRABBING AND SAVING NESHAMOS

On the Toras Chaim’s Yahrzeit, the Imrei Chaim of Vizhnitz once remarked, “Chai (18th) Iyar is Lag BaOmer, the Yahrzeit/Hillula of Rav Shimon bar Yochai. On one side of that calendar date, a week before, is the Yahrzeit of my Zeide, the heilige Ropshitzer (11th of Iyar) and on the other side is the Yahrzeit of my Zeide, the Toras Chaim (25th of Iyar) – they all grab neshomos and pull them out of Gehinnom! (Sarfei Kodesh p. 451)
