Aron Marcus writes that he heard from an honest person that by the era of the Denmark War the Rav of Lomzhe (maybe the Divrie Malkiel) visited the holy Chidushei haRim. The Lomzhe Rov came out of the room with a glowing face of התפעלות. He was asked what happened ? He answered I am from the Lita and was not educated in emunas tzadikim and now the Chidushai haRim told me as follows: That he learned by the holy Kozhnitzer Maggid. When he was 17 years old, on a Rosh Chodesh Nissan, The Rebbe told me that as is known today is the Rosh Hashana for the kings. All the ministers in heaven come to the heavenly court. They all visited me as well. All except for one. The minister of Persia came to my door but I didn't allow him to enter, since he is more evil then all of them. This what the Chidushai haRim told me now. The Lomzhe Rov finished by saying: I thought until now that the concept of a tzadik that is spoken about in the Torah is that he is a Jew multiplied by ten. That he's MUCH bigger than ordinary Jews like me. Now I see that it's a totally different ballgame. His thoughts are not our thoughts, his path is not our path. The Chidushei haRim generally acted very "shpitz" to misnagdim. He would always approach them with the wildest chasidic stories. Some of them, like the Lomzhe Rov, were nispo'el from the stories, but the chemdas Shloma he turned off with his shpitz story. It just ruined it. By the way: What happened then with Persia ? Can we say that the holy Kozhnitzer had the same view like Bibi? That u can't make agreements with Iran because they're the epitome of evil. Thoughts for Purim... (Sorry about the shadow on the picture...)
