A Gift of Holy Souls

The Trisker Maggid, the Mogen Avrohom, told his son that he had worked very hard, for a long time, to draw down into him the neshoma of his own father, Rav Mottele, the Chernobyler Maggid.

Rav Mordechai of Kuzhmir himself used to say, "My father davened to Hashem that I should be granted very holy, lofty souls: the neshoma of my grandfather, Rav Mordechai of Chernobyl, as well as the neshoma of the tzaddik Rav Mordechai of Neshchiz. His prayers were answered, and Hashem granted that I have these neshomos."
