Every Man's Challenge
A man of modest mien and means
his genius hidden ‘behind-the-scenes’
The Rebbe of Lubavitch in NYC was the address
for those who aspired to success
For over forty years, ‘til 1994
those who knocked at his door
from early morning ‘til far into the night
came away with clarity, unparalleled light
He challenged each visitor, from the States or overseas
to be the absolute best they could possibly be
Accepting no excuses, delays or ‘lack of passion’
The Rebbe told them: “Obstacles are miracles
~ waiting to happen”*
