He said, "At my funeral, tell everybody it's never too late to be a proud Jew."... he'd say how he feels that the Tefillin is like a spiritual gas station for him. And he would sit and talk to me. He would ask me to keep the Tefillin on him for an hour, two hours." - Rabbi Mendy Greenberg

" - Rabbi Yitzi Loewenthal

Wellesley is a town that didn't have a Shabbos observant Jew since the six days of Creation. Since Adam and Eve, there had never been an observant Jew in Wellesley. But, that being said, if 80 years ago, they said, 'Is there a minyan of Shomer Shabbos in Lakewood, that would have been new also. Someone's got to make this happen." - Rabbi Moshe Bleich

“And then, almost as an afterthought, as we're walking by, the Rebbe gives, like, a half turn in my direction with my father and me. And he says, "Aun a Chossid by undzer oych." Which, literal translation, "And a Chassid by us as well."
