Description
אַאַמוּ"ר כּוֹתֵב בְּאֶחָד מִמַּאֲמָרָיו
My revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], writes in one of his maamarim:
תַּעֲנוּג נַפְשִׁי עַל אֱלֹקוּת יָכוֹל לִהְיוֹת מִזֶּה שַׁמְנוּנִית בַּגוּף
The soul’s delight in G‑dliness can actually make a person fat.
אוֹמְרִים עַל הָרַב ר' נָחוּם מִטשֶׁרְנאָבִּיל
It was said that [the holy tzaddik,] R. Nachum of Chernobyl,
שֶׁהָיָה שָׁמֵן בְּגוּפוֹ מֵעֲנִיַת אָמֵן יְהֵא שְׁמֵיהּ רַבָּה
became portly from [his sheer delight in] responding Amen, Yehei Shmei Rabbah.
