Whos' Fault?
The story is said about R' Yoshe Ber Soloveitchik that he approached his son on his wedding day and said to him:
"Do you see all the important guests that have come to celebrate? Don't think they came for you; they came because of me!"
Said son to father: "If that's the case, why are there not more of them?"
His father replied: "That's because of you, son."
At a Farbrengen I recently attended, the Mashpia explained: All the good things that are accomplished by Lubavitch are a result of our Rebbe. As for all the negativity and turning-off that occurs, we can only blame ourselves. We are the humans who make mistakes and thereby have a negative impact on others.
Either way, I thought it was a point worth mentioning.
