A Shtickel Emes

When the Rebbe Elimelech was niftar, two of his talmidim, Rav Uri Strelisker and Rav Gavriel MiTschuk, came together and sobbed unrelentingly, crying bitter tears and saying, “A shtickel emes iz gevein oif dem oilom, hut men es oich aveckgenumen fun inz!! – There was at least a piece of truth in this world, and now that too has been taken away from us!!” (Devorim Areivim, #40)
