Rav Yitzchok Isaac of Kaliv was once in Lizhensk during Parshas Beshalach. The Rebbe Elimelech asked the Kaliver to be absent when he recited Torah at the tisch for some secret reason that the Rebbe would not divulge, but the Kaliver did not wish to miss the opportunity to hear the Rebbe’s Chassidic discourse and so he remained.
As soon as the Noam Elimelech began to say Torah, the Kaliver jumped up away from the table and began to run to and fro in the entire house, singing Hallel at the top of his voice! Everyone present was very surprised by such aberrant behavior. Afterward, the Kaliver explained himself: “When the Rebbe said Torah about the weekly Parsha, I was infused by such excitement and it set me aflame with such hislahavus that I imagined myself to be in the midst of offering the Korban Pesach – and so I sang Hallel!” (Ohel Elimelech #274)
