Burn With the Heart, Not With the Mouth

The Ruzhiner Rebbe was visiting the Rabbi of Slavuta. The Ruzhiner smoked his pipe and it went out several times.

The Ruzhiner asked the Rabbi of Slavuta if he may smoke – perhaps he cannot stand the smoke.

The Rabbi of Slavuta replied: “Indeed not, indeed not! A young man should burn with his heart – not with his mouth.”

About the Research Institute

Late Hasidism was perceived and presented in research as a movement of institutionalization and entrenchment that lost the initial Hasidic renaissance, and even degenerated. Recently there have been changes in research and more complex methods and approaches have been introduced that find characteristics unique to late Hasidim.
