Concerning two Chassidim who, on Erev Yom Kippur, placed in the Talmud Torah a collection plate supporting Zionist activities.

A telling letter concerning the expectations a Rebbe has from his followers: “Your letter caused me threefold anguish. How have conditions deteriorated whereby all may do as they please without bearing in mind the opinion of their Rebbe? This has caused much division within the hearts of God-fearing Chassidim, for as the Alter Rebbe writes to one of his followers, (I have the original manuscript in my possession), suffering comes about mostly due to “machloketh leshem shomayim.”
