[#909] Ten days of teshuva: Why the Holy Bardichiver didn't want to go to the Mikva Erev Yom Kippur

Mo'adim - Yom Kippur
09/28/201784

One Erev Yom Kippur, the holy Bardichever goes to the Mikveh and he's not going into the Bor, and the people are waiting and waiting, it takes forever, and finally he comes out. And the Chassidim asked "Rebbe, what happened?" And he said: I'll tell you. Recently a man came to me and was crying "My wife is not there for me, what should I do?" So I call over his wife, and she says "Of course not, he's not there for me, he doesn't take care of my family, he doesn't provide for my children to eat; why should I be there for him?" So I said to the husband "You're going to start providing for your wife, and then she'll be there for you." And they went home happy. And now when I went to the Mikveh I saw that a difficult year is coming, there's not going to be Parnoseh. So I said "Hashem, I'm not going into this Mikveh, I'm not going to be available for you. You've got to promise that you'll take care of your children, and then we'll have the relationship we've always wanted…" Today.
