After spending some time in Rebbe’s court following the acceptance of the nesius, Reb Bentche Shemtov took leave of the Rebbe, to return to his Shlichus in England. Before he left, the Rebbe guided him what to do upon his return.
“It is advisable and fitting to arrange a Farbrengen, with love and achdus, and with simcha, because a Farbrengen can accomplish much more that can be done by one person learning himself with a Sefer.
“At the farbrengen,” the Rebbe continued, “you should discuss the need for der eigener treisel un hazozoh (one’s own shudder and movement). But it must be added that one doesn’t need to fast for three days to achieve this. It can be accomplished with a kappitel Tehillim said properly, a possuk of Chumash with Rashi, a few lines of Tanya, a piece of Chassidus.
“The Farbrengen can be done before [the said avodah], after it, or in the middle.
“The most important thing is,” the Rebbe concluded, “to constantly try, once, twice, three times. If it hasn’t worked, don’t be afraid to attempt a fourth time. And if there was a hefsek, get back and continue. And then, one will suddenly find himself standing in the light.”
