Known as the lover of Israel, the Apter Rebbe was “the supreme arbiter of ideological controversies.” Indeed, he was able, at the great wedding at Ostilla, to heal the divide that threatened to split the Hasidic movement. Disciple of Reb Elimelech of Lizensk, the Apter Rebbe championed love for all Jews only after being chastised by a woman for revealing certain things about her which even God had concealed. When traveling, he preferred to be the guest of the sinner rather than the righteous; he was always being arrested; he too conducted a trial of God, a phenomenon that has always fascinated EW. At the end of his life, the Apter Rebbe promised that in the next world he would protest until the Messiah was sent. Did he keep his promise? Have we survivors “kept the pledge given to the dead who vanished into the dark recesses of history?”
