Conclusion
A story entitled "What's the Rush?" (page 187) tells of a philanthropic woman, known as Chavale, who was once blessed by the Sha'agat Aryeh because she brought him every week two Challot for Shabbat. He assured her that she would grow wealthy and build two synagogues, one in Minsk, where she lived and the other in the Land of Israel.
She did, indeed become rich and erected a synagogue in Minsk which came to be called Chavale's Shul. When she was getting on in years, she decided to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in order to build a synagogue there.
Taking leave of Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, the woman told him of the Sha'agat Arye's blessing and of the purpose of her visit to the Holy Land.
Rabbi Chaim remarked "If a great Tzaddik such as the Sha'agat Aryeh assured you that you will live to build a synagogue in the Land of Israel– then what's the rush?"
It's a nice little story, but…
I don't know whether there ever was a Chavale's Shul in Minsk, but there was a Blumke's Klaus which was quite famous.
According to Rabbi B.Z. Eisenstadt in his Rabbanei Minsk VaHachameiha (1898), Blumke whose family name was Vilenkin, sided with the Sha'agat Aryeh against his opponents in the town, supported him, aided his students and built for them a Klaus. After the Sha'agat Aryeh was forced to leave Minsk, fires and other mishaps occurred in the town. The Jews regarded these as punishment for the way they had treated the Sha'agat Aryeh. Blumke did not suffer from the mishaps, but continued to prosper. Several years later she settled in Jerusalem. There, too, she built and supported a Yeshiva.
A different story about Blumke is told by Rabbi Moshe Meir Yoshor in his biography of the Sha'agat Aryeh (printed in the Sha'agat Aryeh edition of the Hatam Sofer, Jerusalem). Blumke was a poor woman who sold candles and Challot for Shabbat. When the Sha'agat Aryeh was expelled from Minsk — it was said to have been on a Friday afternoon — Blumke carrying her heavy baskets made her way though the people, who surrounded and jeered the rabbi and his wife, and gave the Sha'agat Aryeh candles and three Challot for Shabbat. The rabbi, greatly moved by the deed of this simple woman, blessed her that she would attain wealth and honor.
When the blessing came true, Blumke built a synagogue in Minsk, which became known as Blumke's Klaus.
From the above it is clear that the original version of the story "What's the Rush?" spoke of Blumke and not of a certain Chavale.
"Reversed, Revealed, Revered" (p. 99-103) is the title of a longer story. It tells of Rabbi Levi Yitzhak of Berditchev attending the funeral of a person, generally regarded as a selfish miser, who never gave charity. Rabbi Levi Yitzchak explained to the people that he was involved in three Dinei Torah, which revealed the true character of the deceased. He then went on to describe the three cases.
A slightly more detailed version of this story has been printed several times. The late Rabbi Shlomo Yosef Zevin published it in a Hebrew paper in the 1930s. It was copied by B. Ye'ushzohn (M.B. Justman) in his column "Fun Unzer Alten Oitzeer" in the Warsaw Yiddish daily Haint. Both Rabbi Zevin and Ye'ushzohn , issued their articles later in book form. Several years ago the story appeared in English in A Treasury of Hasidic Tael on the Torah (a translation of Zevin's Sippuri Hasidim vol 1, pp. 78-81). which was published by Mesorah Publications– the same people who put out The Maggid Speaks. IN presenting the story in THe Maggid Speaks, the editors might have added a footnote, referring the reader to the other version.
Rabbi Krohn's book has already gone through two printings.
