Rebbe Levi Yitzchak from Berditchev
I read recently that the Kedushas Levi suffered from a nervous breakdown (before moving to Berditchev) because of the harassment he suffered from the misnagdim. This breakdown didn't happen out of the blue, but rather the tzaddik had a mental health issue as a pre condition and thus he was affected in that way (which according to this source affected him throughout his life, he never recuperated).
1. Is this information accurate?
2. Would it be a zilzul of any tzaddik tzaddik to say that he struggled with some sort (severe or mild) mental health issue?
3. If the Rebbe did indeed have a pre-condition and a breakdown at some point, why is it that rabbis and rebbes don't talk about it? This appeared in a book about the Berditchev titled "Loved and Beloved" by a more "left wing" publishing house.
4. This is more of an emotional question: is it our place to try to empathize and have compassion from how the tzaddik (any tzaddik, not only the Berditchevver zy"a) suffers? We tend to associate the figure of the rebbe as the one who carries the burden of the tzaras of his chassidim and the Jews in general. Is it appropriate to invade that vulnerable, weak, in a way even undignified point of the tzaddik.
If yes, how could we connect to this empathy to draw a parallel to how we're supposed to mourn from the galus and tzaar hashechina?
Thank you very much Rabbi Jacobson for being a source of enlightenment and love for all of us during the darkest, lowest and hopefully last days of the Ikvesa deMeshicha!
