The Rebbe replied: "Take a new apartment in the Kiryah in Kiryat Gat."
"Where will I study? There is still no kollel there?" The avrech pressed. "Open a kollel and lead it" The Rebbe replied.
The scholar did not stop there and also asked to care for his wife for employment. "What will I do about a workplace for my wife?" But the Rebbe was ready for that, "do not worry, Hashem will summon you a good living."
