    “I was the most introverted, the most bashful, the most timid. Public speaking? Are you kidding?... One year, the yeshiva declared that every bocher is going to have a shul, and you have to go there Shabbos afternoon and teach a sicha. The Mashpia said, "No exceptions." I said, "No, you got to be kidding." He said, "There are going to be no exceptions.” - Rabbi Manis Friedman

    About four months ago, I went to the dentist... There was an ulcer on my tongue. They asked how long it had been there and told me to get it checked out.... To my complete shock, it came back positive for oral cancer on my tongue, and they scheduled surgery right away.” - Rabbi Yossi Rodal

    "As we were walking down the driveway towards Kmart, I hear some like commotion behind me. And I turned around to see this woman kind of waving her arms wildly and calling out to us. And as I turned, she barrels past me into the arms of my husband, gives him this massive bear hug, and then backs off and says, "Oh, my gosh, I know I'm not supposed to hug a rabbi. I am so sorry!" - Rebbetzin Malki Rodal
