A Vessel for Livelihood

Once, chassidim came to the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, complaining about the difficult monetary situation that they found themselves in.[1]

The Rebbe told them:

“The receptacles for livelihood are love and comradery. When there will not be jealousy, gossip or libel there will be income.”

The proof for this is as follows:

“When the Kohanim recite the priestly blessing, they exclaim “to bless His nation, Israel, with love.” When there is love amongst Israel, G-d will inevitably bless us.”

[1] Sefer HaSichot, 5698, Pg. 283
