How to Read a Kvittel

The Rebbe once said, “My father, the Yanuka, taught me how to read a kvittel, a note of petition given by a Chassid to his Rebbe. It’s quite easy – you only need to know three things:

1. To know the root of the soul of the petitioner who gave the kvittel;
2. To feel his pain and suffering as if it is your own;
3. To know that you have the ability to help him.”
