Chassidic Story 358: The Deeper the Darkness The Greater the Joy (Purim stories)

❤️ Buy me a coffee :-) https://ko-fi.com/barakhullman Subscribe by clicking here: https://www.youtube.com/user/chasidic... This week I have two Purim stories for you. The first is about the great Rabbi Elazar Rokeach of Amsterdam, and what he did when government officials burst into his Purim seudah with news that a dam had broken and thousands were in danger. The second is about a five-year-old boy named Shaul, who sang so beautifully at the Baal Shem Tov's Purim table that the Rebbe wouldn't let him go home — and a promise made in a roadside inn that wouldn't be kept for another thirty years. And then I have Purim stories from previous years. The next episode will be after Purim. If you're enjoying these Chassidic stories, please take a quick moment to buy me a coffee. https://ko-fi.com/barakhullman Thank you! I deeply appreciate your support!
