Once Upon a Time in the far away land of
Russia there was a poor holy man who
lived on the road going to Al where he
would teach Tyra for from unit the
children for this he got some few
Pennies from the poor
parent his wife helped by baking yummy
Bas which the poor man would sell the C
Mars in the town every day one cold
windy night the family and all the
Kinder way sleeping comfortably by the
fireplace suddenly they were awakened by
banging on the door holding the candle
the poor man opened the door he found a
man shivering from the cold the
Shivering man was quickly brought inside
and given a steaming cup of tea after
The Stranger has warmed himself the
teacher moved his sleeping children from
near the hot stove and told the traveler
to lay down and warm his weary bones
early the next morning The Stranger left
the Kinder love still tired and cold
huddled together near the stove suddenly
a cry of surprise came from the Kinder
who had returned to their usual sleeping
spot they had discovered something hard
a lumpy in the bed upon closer
inspection they found a pouch filled
with a lot of gold coins left behind by
the mysterious guests hoping the
stranger might return to claim his
property they waited several days but no
one came unsure of what to do with the
unexpected treasure the teacher decided
to ask for help from the alter re who
was living in leoa at the time after
listening carefully to the man's story
the alter rabet explained that the
treasure was a gift from Hashem and
rightfully his
however advis caution suggesting that it
would not be wise to spend the Newfound
wealth as it could raise unnecessary
sumission instead the Reb instructed the
men to keep his fortune a secret for the
time being continue teaching his
students until the semester concluded
and then returned for further guidance
when the semester ended theid returned
to the alter rebba who advised him to
rent a house in town with a store using
some coins the man was to purchase
supplies from a local local wholesaler
and begin s selling them for a profit
the rebba assured him that if his
Venture succeeded he should return in a
year for additional advice a year later
the kassid came back to the rebba
reporting that his business had
prospered that his family was now living
comfortably remarkably he had only used
a small portion of the treasure hearing
this the rabba advised him to expand his
business by buying directly from the
supplier in VP bypassing the local
middleman as another year passed the man
returned once more to report even
greater success his business had
flourished and the majority of the
treasure remained intact this time the
re suggested an even Bolder move the man
was to travel to Moscow the stor of
goods purchased by the theps um
suppliers and sell his stock to
merchants in both theps and Lea a year
passed and the fortune continued to
favor the under the guidance of the Al
rabit he expanded his business even
further traveling to cburg to establish
connections that allowed him to trade
directly with Moscow businessmen his
transformation from a poor teacher and
pastry seller to a well respected
businessman with feelings across Russia
was remarkable before going on another
business trip the man visited the alter
to ask for a Braha and advice during
Theus the rebba asked for a gift from
cburg feeling honored by the request the
man visited the finest shop in cburg and
selected a beautiful golden stuff box
confidence it would leave the rabba upon
presenting the gift however the rabba
conveyed that while it was a fine item
it was not the type of gift he had H for
determined to fulfill the re's Wishes
the man on the next trip selected an
even more elaborate and expensive snu
box yet again the re indicated that this
was not the gift he had mind before they
made the next Journey the alter rabit
asks if he ever visited the theater in
Kingsburg as said and a pous j the
businessman had never stepped for in a
theater before nevertheless on this trip
he bought a ticket to a show at the
colburg cater determined to follow the
Rebel's words settling into a fancy
private box high above the stage that
the businessman exhausted from his
travels and business dealings quickly
fell into a deep sleep he remained UND
disturbed until the janitor entered the
box to clean it startled to find an
unfamiliar figure asleep in such an
unusual Place The dinor Struck up a
conversation asking about his travels
the businessman explained that he was
from white r
specifically from the town of leoa At
The Mention Of leoa recognition crossed
the janitor's face and he referred
fondly to Zia The Familiar nickname from
the Altera CH zman the DOR shared a
message asking the businessman to pass
along his regards to the rebc the
businessman though puzzled by the
encounter carried the Jor regards with
him sensing that this moment held more
significance than it appeared when asked
for his name name the diner simply
responded with one word
Carl Upon returning to lezna the huster
relayed regards from Carl the theater
cleaner to the alter
rebba the Reb's face lit up with
satisfaction as though the simple
message had been the exact gift he's
been hoping for before the H's next
Journey to cinberg the alter rebit
entrusted him with a small package to
deliver to Carl the instructions were
clear the hustle was to give Carl the
package upon her arrival and then
retrieve it before returning home
once in Kingsburg the hust located Carl
at the theater and handed him the
package upon opening the package Carl
carefully removed a sheath of papers
covered in the alter Reba's handwriting
these Pages contain the teachings that
would soon become the Tanya the
foundational work of hassidic th Carl
studied the pages intently as if
recognizing something far beyond
ordinary words he spoke softly to
himself marveling at the Divine wisdom
contained with him and reflected on the
greatness of these ings after a moment
he gently returned the papers to theid
who brought them back to the altar reab
these very Pages would soon bring light
to the generations a reflection of
divine inspiration in its purest form
when telling the story The famed
Kidman would conclude it seems that Carl
was among the 36 hidden sadim and the
Altera wanted as approval for the Tanya
