The Tzemach Tzedek related:

"In 5569 (1808) we heard from my grandfather (the Alter Rebbe) for the sixth time the Maamar Ush'avtem Mayim [1] (the first of that title in Likutei Torah) and the experience was reminiscent of the Talmudic statement (Yerushalmi Suka 5:1)

`From there they drew (the holy spirit).' [2]

Yona [3] received, at the celebration of the water-drawing, the gift of prophetic revelation; we received revelation without end. The end will be when Mashiach comes, for the end is rooted in the beginning." [4]
