The Author Has Ruach Hakodesh

Rav Hertzka of Ratzfort zy”a once entered the room of his Rebbe, the Sanzer Rov zy”a, right before tekiyas shofar, and he found the Rov learning Sefer Bnei Yissochor, which had just recently been printed. He was surprised that his Rebbe would be learning a new sefer at such a solemn time and expressed his puzzlement.

At his tish that night, the Rov explained, “How am I supposed to deal with the chasidim of today? They peak to see which sefer the Rebbe is learning. Why can’t they understand that if the Rebbe is learning a sefer, it can be assumed that the author possessed ruach hakodesh.”
