Immediately after the prayers, the Rav ascended the bimah (platform in the synagogue for the Torah Reading) and announced emotionally: "I deeply and sincerely regret the slap I gave the young man, and I beg him for pardon and forgiveness." Right away the young man stood up and exclaimed: "Honorable Rabbi, I deserved that slap, already for a long time I had it coming due to all the distress I caused you." Several days went by when suddenly it became known in town that the Rav left on a long journey, without stating when he would return. Benami, long-time editorial assistant for www.AscentOfSafed.com, of an article in Sichat Hashavua (#1327) Connection: In “the Three Weeks” leading to Tisha b’Av, we mourn the destruction of the Holy Temples and the exile of the Shechina (Divine Presence). Concerned that if he would go to bed he would not get up in time to remind the Rav that it was time for morning prayers, he decided to lie down on a bench in the shul, hoping that the arrival of the first worshippers would wake him. Only to the members of his family the Rav revealed that he decided to take upon himself a period of exile [not so rare in those days –y.t.] as penance for slapping the young man in public. The community leader ran to the Guest House supervisor and furiously asked him, "How did you sent me a guest who is nothing but a thief!?" The supervisor decided to discover the whereabouts of the thief. Finally I have received a sign from Heaven that my repentance has been accepted." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Source: Adapted and supplemented by Yerachmiel Tilles from the translation by C. When he stood in front of the man responsible for the Guest House he was dumbfounded to realize that this was the same young man who was his servant all those years ago. Everyone present turned around and were astonished to see that the person administering the slap was no other than Rabbi Lipa, the Rav of Shargorod, in Ukraine. At the end of Shabbat after havdala (ceremony at the termination of Shabbat) the Rav took leave of the household members and got ready to continue his journey. Years passed and he felt his strength weaken, he realized that he would not be able to continue his wanderings but he still awaited a sign from Heaven.
