אות - קעח

Late one afternoon, just before the Minchah prayer, I was standing before the Rebbe. He was looking out of the window with a look of deep longing in his eyes. He began speaking to me of how quickly the day passes and is gone.

He said, “ Vas ich hab tzu tuhn in dem oilom! – What do I have to do in this world! But behold, the day passes and is soon gone.” The Rebbe meant that what he had to do was beyond measure.
