After being handed the allotted 3 matzahs, he said to the Skulener Rebbe: “I know that you sent word that you could give only three matzahs, but nonetheless my father, the Seret- Vizhnitzer Rebbe, told me to tell you that he must have six matzahs”. We Are One The Lubavitcher Rebbe once explained it with moving simplicity and eloquence: The fighting between the stones was not caused because each one wanted the tzaddik's (the righteous man's) head; it was because they were separate stones. “That is wh
