However, after the passing of the Tzemach Tzedek, and especially a few years later when a few of his sons established their courts in other towns, the number of visitors to Lubavitch fell drastically, and this innkeeper felt the loss of income much more than those who were located closer to the Rebbe Maharash’s residence and Beit HaMidrash.1 It was Erev Shavuot and Meir was downcast, it is Erev Yom Tov and he hasn’t had a customer for weeks. When he told each vendor that the Rebbe told him that he will have around 150 guests and that the Rebbe himself lent him some money, each storekeeper was willing to give him the merchandise on credit, knowing that immediately after Yom Tov they would be paid in full. Rabbi Avtzon’s conclusion to the above episode is: “Upon finishing, the person who told this story said, ‘Friends, the question from this story is only: Are we conducting ourselves as the innkeeper did, whose simple pure faith in the Rebbes’ words never wavered even as the time came for his wife to light the candles and not one guest had arrived; or are we like the neighbors who thought that perhaps the Lubavitcher Rebbe was encouraging us and praying that Moshiach and the end of our exile are coming, but never meant it as a promise and guarantee.’” My blessing: This Friday, Shavuot, may we all merit to receive the Torah with joy and internalization. Also, I am positive that the storekeepers will give you credit as well.” Meir sped home and asked his family to help prepare for all their anticipated guests, and then ran to the market and began ordering large amounts of food. Seeing him, the Rebbe said, “Reb Meir, it is Erev Shavuot and one is supposed to receive the Torah with joy and b’pnimiyut (‘innerness’ - that it should permeate you), and here you are downcast.” The innkeeper replied, “Rebbe, what shall I tell you? It is difficult to be upbeat and joyous when I haven’t had a customer in my inn for weeks.” The Rebbe raised his eyes, looked toward the horizon, and said, “Reb Meir, I see a large group coming and they will be staying in your inn for Yom Tov. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Source: Adapted by Yerachmiel Tilles from a Weekly Story emailing
