The Sanzer Rabbi suffered from an ill foot his whole life. They say that when he was a boy he once didn’t want to go to school and a teacher’s assistant hit him on his foot with a stick and from then on he suffered from it. He bled from the wound and was constantly bandaged.
But when he had to go to the mikveh he did not mind it and tore off the bandage.
I.F.
