The Ziditchover Rebbe's Blessing

Once, when Rav Menachem Mendel was visiting Rav Yitzchok Isaac of Ziditchov, he mentioned that certain wicked people sought to ruin his father's livelihood, and that this threatened his own parnassa as well, since he relied on his father's income.

"Tell your father not to worry," Rav Yitzchok Isaac replied. "He shall have sufficient parnassa all the days of his life." The Rebbe then turned to Rav Menachem Mendel and said, "You can go back home and accept upon yourself the yoke of the rabbinate."

When Rav Menachem Mendel returned to his father's house, his father came out to greet him with the good news that he had been appointed Av Beis Din of Kemetshe. When Rav Menachem Mendel told his father the Ziditchover Rebbe's words, they were astounded at the Rebbe's ruach hakodesh and miraculous knowledge.
