Teaching Students to Say “A True Vort”:
The following story is related in Sefer Sipurei Maran Haramach:
On Shabbos, Parshas Ki Sisa, Rav Yisroel Zalman Shlovsky zt”l related that he heard from the Divrei Shmuel of Slonim zy”a that Rav Nochum Shochet of Slonim zt”l, a chasid of the Lechovicher Rebbe, told the Yesod Ha’avodah of Slonim zy”a that he was once in the middle of reciting Nishmas when he was told from Shomayim that all of the Torah and mystical secrets of the Arizal could now be revealed to him. However, Rav Nochum did not agree and said, “If that would be a help to my avodas Hashem, that is fine. But if it won’t, I don’t need it.”
The Slonimer Rebbe told him that his father, Rav Yehuda Leib zt”l, had told him that Rav Nochum Shub had given the same answer. He said, “I didn’t come to Lechovitch for this. I came here to learn how to say one true word to Hashem.”
