“The faces of tzadikim are not only a sight to behold, they have an actual effect on the onlooker. Instrumental in encouraging this practice was the current Rebbe of Lelov, a contemporary of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who was known to have a particularly soulful and deep connection with the latter. The Rebbe of Lelov once told a certain individual—and later this piece of advice spread far and wide and became famous—that in his home it is important that there be a picture of the Lubavitcher Rebbe that he can view at any time. The Lelover Rebbe explained that looking at the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s picture instills fear of Heaven. If someone does not take the time to look at the pictures of tzadikim, especially the picture of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, his fear of Heaven will certainly be missing something. The current Rebbe of Lelov learned this from his great-grandfather, Rebbe Moshe of Lelov, the son of the first Lelover Rebbe, Rebbe Dovid,¹ whose day of passing is on the 13th of Tevet in 5611 (1861) ” more@Inner.org
