“No Rest In Heaven” - Viznitz Rebbe Shares His Fascinating Dream | החלום המסעיר של האדמו”ר מויז’ניץ

During his tish on Friday night, following Birkas HaMazon, the Vizhnitzer Rebbe of Bnei Brak shared an impactful story about a dream that he had, relating the details with Chassidim who had come to spend Shabbos with him after he returned to Bnei Brak from his resting place in Netanya. The rebbe began: “I want to share a story that happened to me this week, early Monday morning, at my place of rest in Netanya. A Jew, whom I knew personally, who passed away a few years ago, appeared to me in a dream. He came to ask me for a tikkun (a rectification) because he has no rest in Shomayim.” The rebbe continued: “I asked him, ‘What happened that you have no tikkun?’ He answered that he had wronged a Jew many years ago and no longer remembers who it was, but for several years, he has had no rest in the upper world. “I asked him, ‘Why are you coming to me?’ The Jew replied, ‘I was told in Heaven that the Rebbe is ‘the man of peace,’ and therefore, I should come to the Rebbe to ask for a tikkun.'” The rebbe went on: “I am indeed a man of peace, and I inherited this from my elders, the Imrei Chaim, who was opposed to all those who are baalei machlokes. I, too, am against those who are baalei machlokes.” The rebbe continued to elaborate on the importance of shalom, explaining that this concept is emphasized on Yom Kippur, regarding which it is written, “Yom Kippur does not atone until one makes peace with their fellow.”
