The Yashnitzer Rav was once asked by his students to relate some wondrous tale about his Rebbe, Rav Naphtali Ropshitzer. He told the following:
When I was a youth in Rymanow, I had a friend, and together we traveled often to the holy Ropshitzer. The Ropshitzer’s custom was that he personally distributed the challos to his disciples and Chassidim who came to the tisch to eat at their Rebbe’s Shabbos table. Whenever my friend and I came before the Rebbe, he would always hand us two challos that were still attached to each other. Since we were good friends attached to one another, we took this as a sign from our Rebbe that he acknowledged our great friendship and how we were well-matched and suited to each other to the extent that we stuck together! One day we had a disagreement and argued over some matter that caused our friendship to fracture. That Shabbos, at the Friday night tisch, when the Rebbe handed us the challos, he handed each of us a single challah, for he could feel our hearts were not together. After the seudah I sought out my friend and we renewed our bond of friendship. Sure enough, at the Shabbos day seudoh, we once again came before the Rebbe, and he handed us two challos, attached once more!
