Rabbi Sholom Dov Eichhorn, who was privileged to serve at the court of the Rebbe Rayatz, relates, ?Throughout the years that I served there, I cannot remember even one occasion on which the Rebbe uttered a word, spoke or asked anything from his father-in-law, the Rebbe [Rayatz], during the 'seudos.? He would always sit in front of the Rebbe [Rayatz] with deep humility, and he would never even open his mouth[ to speak].

?[The Rebbe's] attitude of connection and self-nullification to the Rebbe [Rayatz] was so very apparent, even when he had to go into his father-in-law. Even though he would meet with him every single day, I was always impressed when I saw [the Rebbe] preparing himself with such self-nullification, and how he would wait in the corridor, getting himself ready before going in. He would straighten his clothing over and over again, so that he could go in to the Rebbe'suitably dressed, much like one who comes before the king.?
