a good native shabbos to everyone
pasta is bullock
following you beige with kimutamus
and a few days before shivasamatamas
these days be transformed for joy and
happiness
let me begin with a story i heard just
last night a new story that i never
heard
from the grandson of rabbi barnetsky
was my fifth great rebbe at la bachcha
yeshiva
and he taught in yeshiva for 50 plus
years or maybe 60 years many years
and he was a tiger yi he was a student
of the frida keraba and in fact he went
to atvatsk before the outbreak of world
war
ii to learn there
and he became he was learning with rabbi
jacobson hasidis in the 1930s
while he was a student at tiravadas
and barnetsky was a tired yidd a sincere
year
i recall when he went down and his face
turned red
so his grandson
ellie ariel told me the following
in in i guess 1941 or 42
the frida quedabra asked him robert
barnetsky his grandfather
ellie's grandfather where
to see them the baptists see them bury
their
berry people the bavators he said in
staten island
there's a hellca there's a section there
that
has from the turn of the century
were burying their relatives there
if you could ever ask how do they get
there
so he said in those days you drove your
car
the hearst you drove it onto the boat
and it took you over
the river to staten island because this
was before
the varazano bridge was built i believe
in the late 50s or early 60s
anyway so the rebbe said to him
barnetsky
i will not bury my mother there this was
when rabbits and stannis
his mother was very sick and
this is i guess before the free cabbage
went to chicago because his mother
passed away when he was shakata
when he was in chicago but she was very
ill and the rebbe was obviously
preparing himself to have a plot for his
mother
and he said barnetsky my mama that
thought to meet legend
and the explanation that i don't know if
the fruit could happen said this or
ellie said this
is that because the ground the earth
is wet from
the water the the the ocean
the body doesn't disintegrate
he said that that's a pain for the the
for the summer because
it's it's called
and we don't want a person to have ever
the banging around
of the cave of the body being in the
earth so when the body disintegrates
then has peace shalom
menuha rest so if you could ever said
since that this cemetery is near the
water
so therefore the water doesn't allow the
body to disintegrate
as fast or maybe at all i don't know
my mom eventually and shortly there and
so he asked her barnetsky can you find
another
place uh barnetsky i guess in
conjunction with robert kozanovsky
and rabbi jacobson they found
the place which is today the oil
coche of the frida kerebe and the red
the oil
in queens so
this is the first time i heard the mai
said the story if anyone
has heard this before please tell me
if there are different details than the
way i
heard it please let me know as well so
we could
we could get it straight but this is
what this grandson
called me last night to tell me that he
heard this mice and not just once
several times from jose there are
vanessa himself
who the frida karebe discussed
and and this issue with and asked him to
find
another place where he can bury his
mother where the
goof will disintegrate et cetera et
cetera
it's um it's it's it's valdika days and
it's hard days we just had a tragedy
in miami uh a building that had many
eden in it
collapsed and if you if you saw the way
they had pictures of it
mama's like a shoebox it fell down the
back
side of the building towards the ocean
and this is in a
a city called surf side in which the
shul rabbi lipscore there it is there
is the rov my parents lived across the
street from the shul so i know the area
well
and i can imagine the type of building
it was because my parents were on the
sixth floor and they were towards the
front of the building and when we wanted
to see the ocean we would go on the
porch to look towards the back but it
was the back side of this building
i think on 88th street and columns the
shield was on 95th and collins
which collapsed
we know little we don't understand the
ways of akadeshwarhu
as we speak now we have to continue
davening the davis that shall make a
miracle
that many of those people under the
rubble are still alive and will be found
and be healed and be back
with us those that have perished they
say fourth parish they're ready
if any of them are eaten or even have
the non-jews
may their souls rest in peace as we say
but the the question is what's the
connection
to the advantage of gimbal tamils and
shiva but thomas
just a thought a short thought
at the highest time of simcha the
wedding
the jewish tradition is to break a glass
to remember the destruction of the bay's
amigdas
the way aka this barcode the way god
created this world is such
that there's a dual reality
there is goodness and kindness that's
obvious and there's goodness and
kindness that's disguised and concealed
both are from both are from god there's
no such a thing
as evil or bad coming from god
the issue is whether we perceive it as
good or we perceive it as bad
the fact that a building collapses what
is what's the message
what's the message well someone is
saying
i made and there were three so we've had
three neighborhood collapses miran
the karleen stolen school yerushalayim
outside of shalom and now a building
that had many eden
in florida miami area
we used to strengthen the schleischer
dwarim the three things upon which the
three pillars upon which the world
stands tyra avoided
to increase our study of terror avoid
this the idea of darwining
diving with a minion not talking during
davening and all of that
and blues hassan helping people with
loans and seductive
also a building has a foundation
and it seems like it seems that the
foundation here
went into the earth if the the way the
buildings fell it's like a
like a matchmak group and even the
rubble's like a pancake one on top of
the other
it seems like the earth cave
out and it's it it all
disintegrated and and melted and and
everything fell
the foundation of yiddish kite
is a munna's faith and be talking
trust in the abrasion the cycle the
intellect and the medicine the emotions
are already a development
an enhancement of a moon of faith
we need to strengthen our and understood
the more we strengthen our moon and the
abrester
the stronger the building will be and
stand firm
another point possibly to to think about
is
the buildings there are one next to the
other you know it's prime real estate
you're on the ocean
i once heard that the reason why trees
in a forest
stand nice and erect and straight and
tall
whereas if trees are just growing on the
street and they're
scattered and not next to each other
they tend to bend and fall
is because when you stand next to each
other
you have the power and strength of each
other
holding each other strong and straight
when you're on your own at the end of
the day
you fall you bend
avas israel the buildings to continue
standing straight
and erect and tall and beautiful
the increase of abbas israel of caring
for each other
loving for each other and really helping
each other
will surely surely eradicate
any negativity and any
mishaps from happening again in the
future may hashem help us
that was zaika to see the
layman the true redemption
and every year and every creation of god
will be well uninjured healthy
successful and will be said to the
ghoulish lama
so that before shavasana thomas comes
will be already
shabbos
