Yisroel Will Be the Rebbe

There was great friendship and love between the two brothers, Rav Yisroel of Vizhnitz and Rav Pinchas of Borsha. When the Imrei Baruch passed away, the Ahavas Yisrael declined all offers to take over the chassidus. At first the pressure of the chassidim had no effect, until Rav Pinchas revealed what he had dreamed.

Rav Pinchas had been undecided about where to live. One night his father, the Imrei Baruch, appeared to him in a dream and said, "What are you so worried about? Go and ask the Rebbe." Rav Pinchas asked which Rebbe his father meant, and the Imrei Baruch replied, "Rebbe stands for the roshei teivos (initials) Rosh Bnei Yisroel. My son Yisroel will be the leader and Rebbe."

On hearing his brother's words, the Ahavas Yisrael finally relented and agreed to accept the mantle of leadership.
