The Hagada Of The Kozhnitzer Maggid

לזכות ידיד נפשי רבי אפרים אבא בן מרים שושנה וכל משפחתו לברכה והצלחה!!

The Bergsazer Rebbe Shlita related the following story that he heard from the person involved: 

The Heilige Belzer Rebbe, R' Aharon Kdosh Hashem [whose yahrtzeit is tonight the 21st of Av] was about to start his seder with his Chasidim [in the year 1950] and sent his gabbai to ask if anybody has a haggada with the commentary of the Kozhnitzer Maggid. Nobody did. A number of minutes later the gabbai came out of the Rebbe's room and again asked if anybody has a hagada with the commentary of the Kozhnitzer Maggid. Again, nobody could find one. Suddenly one of the guests remembered that he had just bought an old hagada, he checked his bag and found that it was a hagada ... with the commentary of the Kozhnitzer Maggid. He handed it over to the gabbai and the Rebbe used it for the seder. 

And it was a wonder.....

זכותו יגן עלינו ועל כל ישראל!!
