ABSTRACT
Sometime after his death, a friend said of the Chasidic Rabbi Moshe of Kobryn, “If there had been someone to whom he could have talked, he would still be alive.”1 Rabbi Moshe must have listened to the problems of his Chasidim for many years and was likely very helpful to them. When it came to his own problems, however, he had nobody to whom he could pour out his heart. His friend was convinced that if he had had such a person to talk to, he might not have died so prematurely.
