Before his passing, the Apter wept greatly over the suffering of Jews in exile and sobbed because the Messiah was not coming yet.
He said: “The holy Berditchever said before his passing that when he arrives in the other world he will not rest until he will convince the Master of the World that the Messiah should come. But when he arrived in the other world they gave him such a great reception in the heavenly palaces that he forgot about his mission.
I, however, promise you that I will not forget.”
