Chassidishe Maaseh
During the excitement of a Farbrengen, one of the tables in 770 collapsed. Not wanting to disturb the Rebbe’s sicha, the Chassidim quietly removed it out of 770. Only after the Rebbe concluded the sicha did the he notice what had happened. He was then reminded of a story. "Rabbi Levi Yitzchok of Barditchov had concluded his study of shchita and was preparing to slaughter his first hen. He took the bird in his left hand, and diligently prepared it for the shechting. In his right he held the chalef. With great concentration he recited the blessing. In the meantime, the hen decided that, it was high time she ran for her life. The Barditchover concluded the blessing and exclaimed “Where is the hen…?” From here we learn that a person could be having all the right focus, intentions, and involvement but if you forget to take action then you completely...completely missed the point.
