One of the Rebbe’s followers was once very sick. He suffered excruciating pain in his teeth for a very long time. The torture continued to grow worse, increasing without limit, until his agony was beyond description. This man’s face had become very swollen and the doctors had to resort to all sorts of agonizing methods to remove his teeth. His internal organs were also affected, torturing him to the point of death. It was beyond all measure.

The Rebbe spoke to this man and said, “You have suffered the most severe and bitter pains all these years. Es iz altz besser eider ein brei in Gehennom. Ein brie in Gehennom is ergir derfun – But it is still better than one burn in Gehinnom. One such singe is worse than all this.” 340 Cf. Ramban , Introduction to Job; Alim LeTerufah #167.
