Siman 108 סימן 108 Source: https://ajew.org/reader/chayey-moharan/1/108 Segment 1 HE: וְהָיָה מַחֲזִיק כְּפָרִים הַנַּ"ל וְהָיָה מְפֻרְסָם בְּשֵׁם טוֹב בֵּין כָּל הַצַּדִּיקִים הַמְפֻרְסָמִים שֶׁכֻּלָּם נִתְאַכְסְנוּ אֶצְלוֹ כִּי הָיָה אִישׁ חָשׁוּב מְאד. גַּם אִשְׁתּוֹ הִיא חֲמוֹתוֹ שֶׁל רַבֵּנוּ EN: (5) Afterwards things unfolded and he was forced to leave his father-in-law's table — for his mother-in-law passed away, and his father-in-law took another wife from the holy community of Mogilev. And Rabbainu o.b.m. himself arranged this match for him, traveling with him to the city of Mogilev. And he was still in his very youthful days — approximately eighteen years old — but people showed him some deference because he was the grandson of the Ba'al Shem Tov of blessed memory. And they also saw and understood from him personally that he was a precious vessel beyond gold and pearls. And the discerning ones understood even then that when he grew up he would be a novelty in the world. In Mogilev he was lodged in the house of a distinguished man close to his uncle Rabbi Boruch of blessed memory. And he received him with great honor and made a feast for him. And other important men were there, and they gave him wine to drink. He o.b.m. was still contained and not accustomed to saying Torah in public — but then at that wine feast his heart became inflamed and he opened his mouth and revealed before them wondrous and awesome things. And the men who were there saw and were astonished, and were very alarmed. And then his father-in-law's wedding took place. And the renowned holy tzaddik Rabbi Dov of Zaslav, known as Rabbi Ber son of Rabbi Bunim, who merited to travel to the Land of Israel and passed away there — was informed of everything that had been heard from Rabbainu's mouth then. And he was astonished and very amazed and said: There would be a great novelty in the world. And while he was still sitting at his father-in-law's table, people from nearby places began to draw close to him. And at times they would travel to him and he would inflame their hearts greatly toward Hashem Yisburach, and they became very pious people, down to this day — fortunate are they. Afterwards his mother-in-law [the new one] did not fulfill her obligations toward him properly. For in his father-in-law's house Rabbainu o.b.m. had a special room — a small side chamber called an alkir. And there he would sit, seclude himself, and engage in his service. And at intervals he would go outside to the field or forest for hisbodidus. One day Rabbainu o.b.m. traveled to the city, and his mother-in-law went and placed her bed in his room — wanting to take the room for herself. And immediately when Rabbainu o.b.m. returned and found she had taken his place of holiness, he could no longer be supported at his father-in-law's table. And then he left the village and established his residence in the city of Medvedivkeh.
