An Author Par Excellence

AN AUTHOR PAR EXCELLENCE

A Rav once asked the Rebbe Elimelech if he was engaged in writing anything or authoring a sefer [called a chibur, which also means “connection” or “attachment”]. “I have been in the process of authoring something and putting together something – a chibur – for some forty years now,” replied the Noam Eliemelech, “but it’s still not finished.”

“Please show me this chibur,” requested the Rav.

“It’s still not complete. I am working on the chibur of my heart to my Creator, you see,” explained the Tzaddik. (Kisvei Ri Shuv of Brisk #6)
