A Gadol at the Head of the Table
A story ofRav Dov Berish Weidenfeldהרב דוב בעריש בן יעקב וידנפלד
In his youth, Dov Berish's father brought him to the tisch of the Husyatiner Rebbe, Rav Mordechai Feivish. The chassidim were amazed to see the child carried over the heads of the crowd and seated at the head of the table, surrounded by elders, gaonim and tzaddikim.
The Rebbe, uncharacteristically, explained it in the simplest terms: "Here sits a gadol."
