Kaparah
We are His Children:
One year on the night of Yom Kippur, the Sar Shalom of Belz zy"a asked those near him, "Where is the tailor of Brody? I need him!"
They searched until they found him and brought him to the Rebbe. The Sar Shalom then asked him to explain the meaning of the verse (Yirmiyau 14:7): “Im avoneinu anu banu."
He replied, "Doesn't the Rebbe know? It is so easy! It means that even if we sinned, we are still His sons."
(The tailor was an unlearned man and didn't know that the word "anu” is spelled with an “ayin”, and means “answer”, and not with an “aleph", which would mean "we are".)
The Rebbe praised this explanation and repeated it numerous times as a defense for Klal Yisroel.
