The Malach was a Magid in Posov. After a while, the balebatim began to speak. “What use do we have from the Magid – he continuously prays and studies and we don’t hear a word from him.”
These words reached the Rebbetzin and she – in a state of fright – went into the Malach and reported that people were unhappy and they could God forbid lose their livelihood.
The Malach responded: “Am I to blame – they never call me – let them call me and I will come.”
Shortly thereafter there was a Bris and they invited the Malach.
He came, as was his manner, with his Talis draped over his head. When they began to circumcise the child, he lifted his Talis for a minute – this cast such fear upon the celebrants that the entire crowd ran away.
