The details (and story) of the Frierdike Rebbe’s diverse types of Mesiras Nefesh: 1) Russia, 2) Poland, 3) America. He adapted to each of these three worlds wholly and successfully because of his Mesiras nefesh. Page 142.

The Mesiras Nefesh attitude made the Rebbe consistent throughout all the changes in his life. His passions were: 1) Rabbanim and practical Halacha, 2) Helping people do Mitzvos practically, 3) Children [the lowest aspects in Yiddishkeit became his domain because that is what the hour called for].

“The best goes for Hashem” means, that the earliest hours of our (children’s) day goes to Hashem. Stories: 1) The Alter Rebbe and Shimon HaKofer, The Tzemach Tzedek and his war with the Haskala, and the Frierdike Rebbe and the 3 Tamuz talk. [Page 146].

Conclusion. priorities and its rewards. The Russian Mesiras Nefesh is proof of the positive return for good priorities. Page 146-7.
