The first time we called Rebbe on Purim, Rebbe understood that we were not yet ready to speak with him. Rebbe handed the phone to one of the junior talmidim, who mumbled something about the cardinals and Achashveirosh. We hung up the phone.
A few hours later, we were ready, at least on some level, to hear Rebbe's teaching.
Rebbe explained the well known line in Tehillim:
אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי אֶל-הֶהָרִים מֵאַיִן יָבֹא עֶזְרִי
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where does my help come?
Rebbe explained that we should read the pasuk differently than as translated above. "מֵאַיִן" does not mean "From where." Rather, "מֵאַיִן" means that specifically when one is in a place of "אַיִן", when he is in a very low place, to the point where he feels that he is nothing - that is when he will see "יָבֹא עֶזְרִי."
Ashreinu.

And Rebbe gave us the perfect way to learn that torah...when we were put on the phone with his junior talmid (although im sure he is a very holy jew and cant wait to chill by our BBQ at the east gate...but WE WANTED REBBE...), we were in the bechinah of MeAyin, then Rebbe Ezried us with his Torah.
