Among the Maggid’s other famous disciples were his son, Rabbi Avraham the Angel, the Alter Rebbe of Chabad, the brothers, Rabbi Zusha of Anapoli and Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk, Rabbi Aharon the Great of Karlin, the brothers Rabbi Pinchas Ba’al Hahafla’ah and Rabbi Shmelkeh of Nikolsburg, Rabbi Yehudah Leib Hakohen, Rabbi Ze’ev of Zhitomer, and many more. He stood in the doorway and said: “You should know that the Ba’al Shem Tov was not the “as it were” (a connotation for the Almighty) and my grandfather, the Maggid of Mezritch, was not a simple wagon driver.” Then he told the following story: Once, the Ba’al Shem Tov was leading the prayers and his prayer shawl was hanging over his belt. Perhaps this heightened sensitivity to the Ba’al Shem Tov’s level of cleaving to God stems from the fact that—unlike a wagon driver or any other person who is not so pure and transparent—the Maggid powerfully sensed spiritual realities that we cannot even think of. It could be that the answer is in the words of the Ruzhiner: “My grandfather the Maggid was not a wagon driver.” With his words he was showing that the gap between the Ba’al Shem Tov and the Maggid was not as great as it may seem from the story. Unlike his teacher, the Ba’al Shem Tov, who would travel from place to place, the Maggid stayed in Mezritch and from there sent his students to teach Torah and establish centers of Chasidic life throughout Russia, Poland, and even Germany. A year later, during the festive Shavu’ot meal on the first anniversary of the Ba’al Shem Tov’s passing, Rabbi Tzvi announced that his father had appeared to him and instructed him to transfer the leadership position to Rabbi Dov Ber. From the standard set by the Ruzhiner Rebbe, we learn that it is possible and expected of us to broaden our faculty of da’at and to always increase our sensitivity to the concealed Divinity found within everything in this world. Rabbi Tzvi rose from his place and gave the Maggid his topcoat, which had belonged to the Ba’al Shem Tov, and then the Maggid sat in Rabbi Tzvi’s place and began to teach Torah. In the kloiz (study hall) in Ruzhin, the chasidim sat down for the fourth meal of the Shabbat, the meal that escorts the Shabbat as it
