The potato kugel that saved a marriage

the Rebbe has once again shown his greatness in his undercover and modest ways.

Here is the short version, a longer version will probably be included in the Rebbe's Sefer about his travels in exile.

This past Shabbos the Rebbe went to a kiddush to show that he will walk for someone else's Simcha. At the Kiddush he met someone who considers the Rebbe, ( in his undercover guise) as one of his Chaverim. The Rebbe asked him ( we shall call him Chashuva Mentch) to wait a minute to walk with the Rebbe back home, since they were going the same direction. After the Rebbe said mazal Tov, and was Mekadesh the oilam by making a brocho and having a piece of Kugel, he went upstairs to get his coat. While there, someone said that the Chashuva Mentch the Rebbe had asked to wait was looking for him, because he was ready to go, and he say this same Chashuva Mentch's family upstairs, also getting their coats. The Rebbe asked the Mishpucho if the Mentch had left yet, and they indicated that he better not have, since the Mishpucho was still there. The Rebbe then went downstairs and saw the Chashuva Mentch was still waiting for him.

The Rebbe then told the Mentch that his Mishpucho was there, and the Mentch thanked the Rebbe, becasue he wasn't aware that they had walked, and would have gone home without them, much to the extreme annoyance of the Mishpuco.

So the upshot is because of the heilige Rebbe having a piece of kugel to enhance the joy of the baal Simcha, a marriage was saved!

An amazing man, doing amazing things, undercover.
