והגדתם לאבי את כל כבודי במצרים (ויגש מה: יג)

When the holy Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch zt’’l visited Vilna, he was bestowed great honor.  Chassidim from nearby cities came to accord him great honor and to hear his wise words of Torah.

One of the Tzemach Tzedek’s children, who accompanied him on his trip, wrote a letter to his mother.  He shared that his father is enjoying the great honor he’s receiving here.

When the Tzemach Tzedek came home, he saw his son’s letter.  He reprimanded him for writing such content.  His Rebbetzin asked, “What did our son do that he deserved such a yelling?” The Tzaddik answered, “My blood poured like water from the honor given to me, and he writes that I enjoyed it!”
