== Giving Blessings ==
The Rav of Lublin would receive kvitlach for blessings. It was known that if he looked at the person's face immediately after reading it, it was a good sign, but if he placed the note directly on the table, it was not a good sign.

There was another sign: when people would request a blessing for a sick person and he would say "er vet zein gezunt" (he will be healthy), it was a good sign, but if he said "er zol zein gezunt" (he should be healthy), they knew that a decree had been made, Rachmana Litzlan.
