The Tzemach Tzedek: Difference between revisions

Now remembering this scene, a thought crossed his mind: "Indeed this is a supernal power, and the Tzemach Tzedek is revealing his hidden kochos (powers) which Hashem has granted him." While he was still thinking this, the Tzemach Tzedek suddenly stopped delivering the maamar, turned to Reb Yitzchak Aizik and said, "Would you suspect me of something I don't possess? What can I do - my grandfather, the Alter Rebbe, commanded me to say this particular maamar." He then immediately continued delivering the maamar. Thus, his ruach hakodesh (divine inspiration) was revealed publicly. At the conclusion of the maamar, all the chassidim burst into song and accompanied him home with dancing and great simcha.

The Tzemach Tzedek was known for the many halachic responsa he would give to all who approached him. These she'eilos u'teshuvos were published in the seforim Shu"t Tzemach Tzedek.
