As his year by the Rebbe came to a close, before returning to Eretz Yisroel, he merited a yechidus.

“I want a bracha that I should be able to come back to the Rebbe speedily!” he wrote in his note.

“To come back?!” the Rebbe responded with surprise.

“First you must unpack your bags, everything that you gained here. Which includes everything you are aware that you gained, and so much more that you are not yet aware of...”
