For the first time ever yesterday, in the midst of the Or Chaim year, we had in our school a famous Rebbe; the Kaliver Rebber. The Rebbe joined us for an inspirational davening, perhaps even the quietest one of the year, and afterwards, gave majority of the students brachas and lessons. The Rebbe would grab us by the cheek, pull as hard as he can, while slapping the other cheek (all in good fun), and would tell us things about our past, present, and future. Personally, the Rebbe was dead on when he told me things about my past and how I can improve my future. He ended off my "palm reading" with a reasonable request (for a rabbi), that I should fluently memorize 6 ½ daphim of gemara before I attend Yeshivat Torat Shraga next year.
