The Rebbe himself described them as stories of ancient times that the mouth transmits — and through them people are awakened from the sleep of exile] — through which one is awakened from sleep and so forth. Who has heard such a thing — who has seen such things [מִי שָׁמַע כָּזֹאת, מִי רָאָה כָּאֵלֶּה — Yeshayahu 66:8: \"Who has heard such a thing — who has seen such things?\" The verse of the miraculous birth of a nation in a single day — the ultimate wonder of divine action beyond all natural expectation. Applied to the wonders of the Rebbe's stories: what has never been heard or seen before in the world] [Yeshayahu 66:8] — let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation — that until now He has helped us to hear such awesome wonders to revive us forever. Remember — do not forget — all that was spoken between us regarding each matter and matter and so forth — and we still need to speak much about this — in His salvation, Yisborach. Only be strong and resolute — and gladden your soul always — and everything will be in order with the help of Hashem Yisborach."
