When R’ Dovid Moshe, the first Chortkover Rebbe, turned seventy, R’ Yidel Melamed of Safed (R’ Aizik Bronstein’s father) was present in Chortkov.
He told the Chortkover that the Rizhiner had once said that if a child of his were to live to be seventy years old, it would be a herald of the Mashiach.
When the Chortkover heard this, he responded: HaShem Yisbarach should have mercy on him!
