“What do you mean I can’t marry your daughter? Do you know who I am? You don’t just say no to me!”
Come children, gather ‘round. We are going to tell the story of Rav Aryeh Leib Sarah’s, a Tzaddik who was a close disciple of the Baal Shem Tov. Along the way we will share some stories about the Baal Shem Tov himself, his foremost disciple, the Maggid of Mezritch, and a few other of the great masters of chassidus. It is a minhag to share stories of the tzaddikim on Motzaei Shabbos, but whenever you are reading this is special as well!
One day, a young, Jewish girl named Sarah was walking to the tavern in a small village. Her father was the owner. When she arrived at the tavern, she was shocked to see the son of the poritz pummeling her father outside the front door.
“What do you mean I can’t marry your daughter? Do you know who I am? You don’t just say no to me! I see something I like; I take it! You know the rules already, you miserable old Jew!”
“But she is my daughter! You can’t just wake up one day and decide to steal someone’s child! Ouch! Stop hitting me!”
