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
