Ep. 46: Why The Rebbe Referred To Me As A Mesudar with Rabbi Menachem Gerlitzky

So I'm saying you're talking about someone that was here in those years every like you could communicate with the bylang just by thinking what you want what and then this was often someone that was here those years >> I'm Yasi Cayman welcome to among by an ongoing faban about life as our vibrant connection with the Reb and inspired living shaped by the way he teaches us each and every day. How are you? >> Okay, thank you very much for uh making the time to be here. And um the way I usually have recently began these conversations there's always uh where where you come from. So I know your father was a famous Misha Ali Galitzki, right? That's his name. >> Yeah. >> And maybe you could tell me a little bit about him, where he came from, how he became how he came into labavich. >> My father was born in L Pon. He lived in a little city called Kinsk by the and [groaning] he had a cousin relative and when he saw my father he spoke to his father to my he says because your was already >> Yeah. Yeah. He was already in. And so he sent him to which was a yeshiva lodge. This was to sadik alf and sadik for the came to >> from where? From from or he was already in Poland already. >> He was in America. >> Okay. in Israel pest and then America the whole sadic kimat and then it was I'm not sure exactly which places but you based Thomas he came to via so yes they said in yeshiv that those certain amount of pro And I think it was 30 Bimor. So uh they'll be able to go to V for Yudamos. and they got a bus and he went and he used to describe that fabik was Friday 4:30 in the afternoon shabas and they uh went into yeshiva yeshiva or and uh they sang the mimer before They sang before the mimemer. Which song? It was a song. the I am I da da da. I in the dry. Oh yeah. Then the freedom And every shabas after saden he always sang this song. This was like his first but this was >> so it was there and they had >> the whole group after Shabas everybody separate. >> Mhm. And the next year he learned to ready in VA where the freed this was the main yeshiva then >> the was already there. >> Yeah. at Sadi Bay. He learned to via years later the moved tok and uh he learned all the years and then I once asked him the famous B was ink. So the freed moved in the middle of the sadics. How was it sadic base? So he told me that even though the freed was in v but every tish they would rent a big hotel ink which was the outskirt of over there all the came and that's where the was. So you're saying even when the yeshiva was in va they would go to >> they would rent a place in and over there was the the rebba [clears throat] would always come and that year the told theb that he should fab says he sat down 8:00 and he started And the reb went on and on and this fabian went till the morning 600 7:00 in the morning in the suka. So when they found the rishima they were looking for people that were there and the only one they found was my father. He said sure remembers the fabang and he described to them the suka people came in. It was like uh for 40 50 people and says that the whole night straight straight till the morning and when they looked into the shima he was it was more or less what he remembered. >> Uhhuh. >> So afterwards he's there invat till till the outbreak of World War II. He was in V all the years and then when they went to he was invit and when the war broke out they hid in the basement of the yeshiva him and another few bakim and uh Every day they had to give the poer custodian ago something he shouldn't squeal on them. And bit at night one of them would go out and find potato peels somewhere. And this what they lived on for two and a half months almost three months. There was the day they had nothing else to give him. He went and he told the Nazis there's Brim in the basement and they barged in. He said he saw a window, jumped out of the window, he ran up the stairs, he hid on the roof and he covered and he even heard them discussing if they should go up to the roof or not. And the poor hashem didn't go up and [snorts] things quieted down. He went downtown and it happened to be in the middle and over there he met other friends and they didn't know what to do. And what they did was by day they hid at night they ran till they came to va came to ves. So the fre was hidden in the basement by herseli. So they didn't tell anyone like his where he was but they were they told him and he was to have a with the told him gates and go to Russia and you should be successful. There was right before the freeda left Poland through Germany to America and that's what they did. They ran and finally they came to Vilna. Some Vner there was all the Bim the went to Vilman. They had a yes over there for a good year. [clears throat] But then when they saw that uh the Nazis, the Germans are coming to VNA. that they went to look for different places where they could run and nobody wanted to give him visas. One uh consulate the [cough] Japanese consulate >> Sugihara >> Sugihara he was a visro and he saw the situation and he did give everybody a visa. So he gave all the yin that came to him, he gave him a visa. The answer the whole story and once they had the visa, how do you travel from V >> to Shanghai >> to Japan? Kobe >> not to Shanghai. >> Shanghai is China. First they went to Japan. Their visas was to Japan. So the freedu fund and there was a deal they made with the Russian government. They anyway have a train going from west all the way to the east to Vald deastto a train that takes 12 days. So they said, "Yeah, we have a train. We'll pay us $600 American dollars for each ye that they let onto the train." And they did. And the freed sent from America money. And each one gave the money. And they had uh a train going the whole through the whole Siberia till the ocean. Alasto was the city. today there's a there I think and uh I asked him what did they have for food he said the meeting they took a long bread asked him how long this bread last he said if it's not in the plastic it could last that's what they ate for for the whole trip and in every station they had hot water they had hot water and bread and they stopped in Muska and whatever they hadim they couldn't give it to you remember was there other that were in Mosa so they >> they got off and they walked around >> yeah they gave him a stop in Moscow >> Mhm. and they uh they would put it in the sid and the safer and they knew ready to take it out but they couldn't talk with them because no communications and then they got to Japan but later Japan with the Germans made upas they made uh they became part of them and they kicked out all the Eden after about eight months it's the only place that they could go was to Shanghai in China. So they went to Shanghai, China and there was a labure of therekinazi and all old all the plate I'm not just talking about the labavature. >> Yeah. The mirror was there this and that. Yeah. And uh finally they worked out that Canada sent about 90 visas for Yidden to come to Canada. So they divided it according to each yeshiva. The yeshiva got nine visas and every other yeshiva thei yeshiva yesa yes and snagas they all got a certain amount and they prepared the trip and the ship was supposed to >> how do they know which bahim got the visas? I think that like the more older ones got the visas. In other words, out of the 40 50 bim, they gave the older ones. >> So this is the whole group. This is Greenlass and Kmer and >> Rabbi Greenlass, Rabbi Kramer, Rabbi Hendel, Rabbi Rodel, Rabbi Stein, my father, Rabbi Weinberg, Rabbi Katlarski, and Rabbi Tannibel. Those were the nine that got the visas and the boat that they were supposed to go was leaving Adiv. Now when the boat leaves in China to America and Edim keeper sim is going to be on the tail >> the dateine >> the date line. So which day do you fast? first day or the second day, are you closer to east or to the west? So all them snagged him pasin that you're not allowed to go on the pasin they they said not to go on the boat not to go into any island the labav got a telegram from the four words to travel in the first possible opportunity So the labavich went once the labavich went because the told him so all the other also went give me an example Rabbi Hishburg was in the Rabbi Heshburg from Mexico told me there was a daughter the was on the boat they went but Litisher stayed in uh uh Shanghai, they'll go with the next boat. So they went and they traveled and as soon as the boat left, a telegram came from America to the boat that they need them to travel west to Hong Kong to pick up 300 American citizens. So there was no more Shiloh. The whole shila was if they go to the date line, but if they're going back over there, there was no Shilin. They fasted one day and then the boat went they stopped in Honolulu >> from there in in Francisco. >> San Francisco. Francisco. >> Francisco. >> It's a country, >> the city in California. >> Oh, San Franc. Okay. Yeah. >> And >> on the way to Canada. >> Yeah. Yeah. They had the American police watching. They shouldn't run out, you know. And they took a train. They stopped in Chicago. In Chicago, they had a whole big meal. Statesavich didn't eat because they weren't sure. And later that it was good that they didn't eat. And they continued. They got to Montreal and [snorts] that's how we got to Montreal. >> Short. Yeah. To Montreal >> and then some of them ended up in in New York later, but most of them ended up staying. >> All nine were first in Montreal, but three of them later moved to New York. Rabbi Weinberg, Rabbi Tannen, and Rabbi Katlarski. But the rest >> other six stayed in Montreal >> and they ended up building up the >> right away they came on a Friday they announced that they're opening a yeshiva and they came the English date it's still 1941 they opened up the yeshiva Sunday morning they had already a class they were ready >> told them to do this >> that's what they were sent for. >> Mhm. >> And who's going to give the shir? So they made a raffle. My father was always proud to say that he won the raffle and he gave the shir first uh class in Tshin Bay. >> So the whole Montreal with all the Russians that only was later >> later many years later at least 10 years later. >> Mhm. But these nine came originally and they opened up the Shiva and the >> Okay. And your mother's also from Poland. >> My mother's father came in the 1920s. My mother's father >> came from a city in Poland the 1920s. They saw the situation. They decided they got to leave Europe and they were four brothers. Nut Rosen Bloom, Moa Rosen Bloom, Yankl Rosen Bloom. And >> so Montreal, >> they came to Montreal >> and Schulen Rosen Bloom >> to Montreal. >> Yeah, they came to Montreal. So they were from and in Montreal there was a group a group of Fuma families. They opened up a sh called siras and they kept together very strong these from Eden and till today the show is there was yesterday I was in Montreal and I came to yeshiva and they said they're rebuilding the mikvah said where do you go to the mikvah said see the das two blocks away has a mikvah they used to be downtown, but now they moved uptown. But this sh is still there till today. And there was like a obviously when all the came and they were so my mother who was from a from a family and the way the story goes they went to see who's this who's this My Rosenblum took along his father-in-law who was a long white beard had 11 kids. He also came to Montreal. He came much earlier. He came in 1899 >> told him and he he came to and my Z had eye on him and I heard from my mother's cousin he was there and he said uh My el told my Z sell your last shirt and grab him for he wrote every many letters to the and they met they became obviously and he couldn't come to Yehidas. He was still uh >> cuz they didn't have the papers. >> They didn't have papers. But my mother was a Canadian born and she could travel. So she came in. >> Yeah. She was then she was born. So she was 18. She traveled and she came into And after wrote a letter to my father [snorts] Rosen Bloom was here by me and I gave her the and I told her you should be strong the exact printed better have the original. And she always said over that told us said he was banging with his hand on the table. Clapped. She says went through her whole body and she was talking m Super shim all the years. Just to tell you, no one wore shel those years. No one mish. And she uh she was the first one to to break the ice. She put on the shel and because of her her aunt right away started putting on the shel and she used to go in the morning to watch [snorts] how they milk the cows. they should have some milk. And this was then there was no but here she she brought up a generation and >> and that was her first connection to Labavich was becoming a to your father. >> Yeah. Yeah. Once he ma once the Rosen Bloom family took my father everyone else >> followed and married Lavich. >> Mhm. Very interesting. Okay. >> Yeah. >> So let's go over to you. So you were born in Montreal in what year? So maybe you could describe for me a little bit what it was like growing up in Montreal there. What was going on Montreal then? >> Montreal was a very when I grew up there was already a big lab. The Russians were there that came from Russia. There was the Pisha. There was a and the building was still downtown on Park Avenue. And that was the Maridus of the whole Canada. That was they had over there and the bismish, the sh the mikvah. And [snorts] I admire memories every shabas the sitkin remembering the suk they had and that was a real lesha [clears throat] >> there wasn't too many yeshivas then so if someone from New York or anyone else had to send someone to yeshiva out of town >> Montreal >> Montreal there was New York there It was there weren't too many but it was they moved already up town to the yeshiva where it's now. >> Mhm. >> It's still today. Yeah. >> And you learned in the over there and yes and everything >> all the years. >> So what when was the first time you saw the >> first time was for you. [snorts] So what's the math? >> How old I was? >> Six. >> You remember it? >> What can I remember? What I remember? We used to go every year on with the family obviously and there was all also [clears throat] a special for all theim that came in for your so the seda was [clears throat] that the younger classes came into the frontal whoever came obviously the higher classes had more that came and if there was place the high school then from yeshiva till it filled up so I remember one year I don't remember which one it stopped so it was only from that I remember the was already in the youths so one year was filling up and filling up and they were coming in more and more and got full and the Reba was sitting and watching everyone coming in. It was the principal would tell us how to come in and they filled up and the Reb said if you push away the boxes there'll be more place. So the people in the back didn't even hear. I understood Yiddish and I was in the front line. The Reb said push away the boxes. I remember going pushed all the boxes in the corners. I met especially every year for the yeshiva Montreal. Many are mug imprinted. Some are not. I remember also that buil would go in with two boim two or three boim. They should be able to kazer the [sighs] and yeah >> and you also came for tish sometimes or not >> from then every year >> from from your father would come >> I was here >> your father would come every year >> except one year didn't work out but from I came >> so that means you remember the teaching >> the last Although I was only 7 years old and this was 5 in the morning but I was here my I was here with my father and rabb teachings I was here. I remember the Reb teaching Henu and then Keonu >> and Kazen Telleski would repeat and sing and then till everybody caught on but it was in the small shaw in the back long table that was >> same place but long table through the middle of the shaw and everybody was around and so in the back in the back like by the door downstairs. Oh, >> downstairs the m site before they built >> was just between 770 and 78 >> they had already a roof. So it was called the shul shalash was before they built the roof. So the Reb stood on a table and the Reb being there and the Reb teaching this. I do remember that uh they said the Reb said this year he's going to teach two nigim and next year no more. >> I remember as a kid that's what they said. Next year there wasn't Okay. >> Some people say because the Reb's mother was the one that taught the Reb which needn't to sing. >> There's different theories about it. >> That I don't know saying theories. Yeah. Everybody could say a theory. >> Yeah. Um, so when did you come to to New York to stay to learn [clears throat] uh summer lammed bays? I came to learn in Marstown. There was like a summer program. That was the year they bought the new building and I wanted to stay but the Reba answered Katas and they wanted back in Montreal. The next year >> I was in Montreal. The next year I came already to me a few friends we know came to and that spoke they should go in different. So a group went to to seis a group went to clabad the group went to Montreal and we went then to brim for a year. >> So you came for one year >> I was here and then spoke and we should go to different yeshivas. So then holla would would split it split this up who should go where >> I don't know if it was an hala but exactly how it worked but there was >> so you were you were sent to binoisa >> we went to bwa for a year we came back already 770 and when the yeshiva opened inad so The Rabbi Klein called us in each one separate and he said since they're opening up a yeshiva usually they take from holy to Martown but now since it's already so they don't want to break up classes whatever so they're taking from 770 we were 10 bim that went older >> yeah was 20 >> that's Mhm. >> What am I saying? Uh, more 21. >> Mhm. >> And we were at 10. And we were told right away, usually the is two years, but just this year it's going to be one year until they send the new from the regular classes. Uh, we had a >> just the >> the Rabbi Shhat. >> So, he came in special for the >> We traveled that day to Los Angeles. >> He came to New York special for the >> I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. From the >> Was he living in California? >> The plane. >> Where was he coming from? >> He lived in Toronto. came from Toronto with his family and that's when we all went to uh on that day we went to >> he went together with you start yes what happened by and beautiful said.

It was today. >> Yeah. So you you were sent you on twice. That's a unique uh >> Yeah. So the Los Angeles was handpicked like they say. >> Mhm. >> Over the years went to this yeshiva that yeshiva. But uh here was Mamesh Mosquito called in and the whole seda just like Australia or Miami >> right? So this is >> lame. >> So you come to >> was that spoke then that every city should open up three. So when we came that night Rabbi Kun with Rabbi Raichik I remember the devotees said said the Reb is speaking there are so many people if everybody thinks that the Reb is speaking to everyone else nothing will be done everybody has think that the Reb is speaking to him so when the Reb said to open up the Reb is speaking to him so he opened up the yeshiva he opened up then the sh in Beverly Hills and he opened up mikvah. New mikvah. >> So I'm going to go back and forth a little bit. So what was happening in the um so what years? So I'm trying to remember the year. In 770 you're there >> and then >> again here in Los Angeles and then you come back >> so what was happening and those are the years of what was happening 770 those those years >> was the tanks after they were tanks.

They put big signs tanks against the simulation and they had a picture of a tank with very nice and I remember once came in the morning there were three tanks parked in front of 770 turned around and said the fert tank because they were ready for drive. Every day they were going then >> every day >> from so the Reb spoke what the spoke >> this was when the summer started the end of season >> what did the Reb speak on about actually it was after was after the and the tank started and There was a whoever went on three weeks got a $5 bill from the reb that year. Those that went on tanks equivalent to the same time. I think it came out to 40 hours a week for three weeks. The total also got $5 before this was like and then we went with the tanks in Manhattan all over. It was tak a big uh thing. >> So the way it worked was that like there was different bach that would go every day in the beginning. >> Yeah. Everybody knew which is his tank and we would go every day. Yeah. >> So when did it become only We would bring sandwiches and drinks in middle 10 in the morning till when did that stop that it's every day some tanks continued throughout the summer. throughout the summer. I remember even there was a thank you to go every day to the airport to allow when did it stop at it's continuing till >> till today. Yeah. Yeah.

Where was the dormatory? 788. >> So this is before you're learning here. >> Yeah. When I came from Montreal. So you can imagine at night aus used to finish first there was faban there was a heikoff who went to sleep very late and then there was a bram dance and the room where I slept in was mush like what 10 ft opposite the windows of the mis wall of the sh from tshin Gimmo probably. >> So this is you're talking about after the >> 788 and 784, >> right?

So when did you get married? >> And you got married here >> in that. >> Your wife is your wife is >> Yeah. >> So you had >> we had from the last in private. [snorts] Yeah. What happened was there was still regularly but there was such a big that the ones that had to travel to Israel saw that if each one goes into they don't know who won't make it because they had a flight. So they decided let's start groups together at least they'll have some. >> Oh you're saying started this thing. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> That's interesting. like they have to leave latest by 11:00 and it's4 to 11 and there's 10 couples that have to go and some might not make it so at least they'll go together and that's when it started and but we went in regular >> with your parents >> no >> the asked Wednesday V. So was right when we came maybe a day after. I said we don't know yet. Based on >> it wasn't like today they do it that night. >> Yeah. Yeah. It was a week two weeks later. Yeah. >> Did use that language. You know >> people asked me I'm not sure but then it wasn't called and then it was called >> you know why it changed. >> I heard it was from the but I I don't know for a fact documentation. Then they were called a vault. >> Okay. >> And so I'm not sure if the exactly said the word vault but passed us. And uh Deb took $2 and he said whenever be we should give the dollar by the v to that's remind us surely good for everyone. Yeah. and gave a lot of brahas. My wife's from Israel. I remember the Reb used. He said, "Usually the say >> in Yiddish, but when he used the word >> he used the Israeli." Yep. So you got married and then you came back >> came back for I got married and you came to the >> and you went to Kyle >> went to Kyle. Yeah. >> I was in Kyle till >> so what happened? So, so how do you so when you're in Ka you wrote the deb about like how do you know your next step >> after k when it came so I wrote I wrote different offers >> people came they were looking for offer here offer there finally I wrote in a whole bunch of offers but I didn't bring the lotion exactly it's very interesting what they have answered me four answers. >> So you you can remember you have you have him. >> Uh I have him but I don't have it on me. It's very interesting. Basically Balt what I remember is before a person writes in for which job he should think it over to what he is >> what you're capable of whatever >> capable and what's practical >> how is it possible that one person should be capable for Everything I wrote every offer which was from the biggest to the smallest and >> the wanted is saying like why you just sending >> different from one other words think what you're capable of then write and then write >> so you're being aid you want to that you're trying to be write everything like again said other things also. >> You mean other things besides >> doesn't have to be just in these offers that I had could be something else. That's what it ended up being at the end. Something that I didn't write wasn't on the list. >> Okay. Okay. then you can ask >> so the Reb is giving you on how to >> write to the Reb >> one thing I had to offer in the country that I didn't know the language and I mentioned that I don't know the English thing I wrote So the answer on this specific thing question mark >> what is it >> mazoo >> what does that mean >> you're writing in that you want to do so and so what is it mish I sat down and I wrote almost a three-page letter three-page letter and they're waiting for answers Sir, every day I would ask Rabbi Klein, so he told me, "You should know that it's on the Reb's desk right on top." He sees it on the Reba's desk every day. And for weeks, I was waiting and waiting. There was no answers. I didn't do I was still looking. And finally, weeks later, that Eb from a three-page letter that Eba tore off just one line out of the whole three pages and from if it's the right thing wrote No. >> And but he didn't give back the whole three pages. Just a a thin strip >> to aim >> aim. It's not for you. >> Yeah. >> And he But this took weeks. >> Finally, there was then the Reb spoke so strong. I was still a boar about fetisim >> beforeh this is years before >> yeah and pen megiml they were looking for someone to take it over so they offered me and truth is that >> who's they >> there was a vat a vat of light that they felt like responsible and they offered and uh I wrote into the reb This I got right away. An answer. This was before back and forth took months. >> So for months you're >> writing hot songs >> doing different things. Yeah. But uh >> and then not whatever nothing and then >> that's your thing. >> So what is [clears throat] wanted a real coy people come and instead of uh them reaching their retiring age and doing nothing they should register and come and learn every day and a little bit after I went in we were we wrote the we have a place we have >> so so your kale is in is the New York k or it's like the central k what what's the function of it >> there's a kil that's going Now I'm asking >> over 40 years that they're learning here in 77. >> But every city is supposed to have their own ky. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Mhm. So you're in New York whatever >> here and everybody that retired alen came and they learned and beautiful co all the years different. First Shia Pinson used to give Shurim and then now the Shakang is Rabbi Holtzburg and uh Yeah. >> And it works like a like they get a stipen. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They get a stipen gets paid. And [snorts] so today we have three coy in Crown Heights. The one here sponsors alaz for years and years but we opened up two more. One is in Frankl Rabbi is and Rabbi Ginski and one is invar used to be they each get about a minion and as we're speaking now there are three kum in Crown Heights where the other two are in English more about type and the one here is they learn everything. So this is the coil but the about it's printed on everything how the coil should run and one of the things over there the writes that since there are so many Eden in Miscan and the different senior centers and they're looking how to uh fill up the time with the older people. So we should reach out to them and make sure etc. So this became the most of the work at Ferris senior centers, nursing homes, adult homes, daycare centers. There are different types and the busiest time comes We go to so many and that want to go send out. That's why you do the is for the for the >> it started but people call he's homebound >> the calls end up in we make the list we put it together and we send out we all sent to different part buildings and hospitals and states of the nursing homes and >> this pes we had every night 35 Five >> they call in advance no I'm saying people want to make their own seda but if they call the bavage so there's bim that they're here anyway pes and they want to do a seda for public seda so we send them out to all the different mishums so and that's after that you started those pulas that's when the reb started being in the kin that you do in 770. What's the story about that? How'd that happen? >> We had uh Rayon thought to bring all the scan to the Reba. So the first >> So So you started doing with them and then you had this idea to bring to bring them to the >> Yeah. So the first time was of Sheen and [snorts] made a rally. We invited them and they came from all over and we knew nothing is how we going to speak for them or not. We brought them. >> You brought a group to 770. >> A group hundreds of scan. >> It's a big operation. You have to bust them in some ice. >> Yeah. But that one's easier. Today they have so much laws bureaucracy they can't leave only for a certain amount and each building has to then there was more >> hish so nursing homes came and everybody that came with a wheelchair there were four ber on top of the steps picked up the wheelchair brought him down they didn't need a ramp there are pictures a whole group of wheelchairs and and uh on the settle I wrote the program. So like 1:30 was starting and someone's going to speak and then a children's choir and then refreshments the whole program and 3:15 >> you decided to write that >> in the program then with with the and >> those diamond upstairs. So you were being a little bold writing that >> by the way be 3:15 3:10 probably uh one of the bim that worked for the mashbakim came down and he's asking me in the name of theb if the program is on time if the reb could come down 3:15 to imagine and I said, "Yeah, for sure." But uh the would with each detail like maybe he's running late, man. >> So you didn't know till that moment if the Reb is going to come down or not? >> Not that the Reb is coming from Ma was the Reb came to every Ma but we didn't know if the Reb is going to speak. So I wrote >> What year is this? >> Meal. >> Okay. The didn't so whatever. Okay. So that maybe was obvious that if there's a group the reb did do sometimes downstairs of his. Yeah. Okay. >> So I asked Rabbi how does he know before if the is going to speak he says he doesn't know till today. He makes a rebroke which could mean after the spoke a beautiful and we started doing them twice a year. One time and one time. So every year the Reb spoke for them in the summer a couple of times but not always. One time I would give him the letter that we sent out for and would usually answer regular and it was tough me Zion. So we made it that year on the Tuesday test zimov try to pick a day that the reb doesn't go to the oil. I'm sitting in the office 10:00 and also someone comes in Rabbi Groon's office he says Rabbi Gro is calling you. I go down he says us. So I asked her by going give me a few minutes says okay. So it was before mikvah I ran the mikvah was >> union mikvah >> the hot day I just vish in two minutes was a hot mikvah and I didn't dry myself because I was in a rush and you're running and I figure I'll come in it'll tell me okay wait till this second I came in says come with me knocks on the door goes out it never comes out >> I was the was his in the room by the door said since he was it's also the was mia the whole thing because I didn't know exactly said >> you wrote it down afterwards you wrote it down afterwards >> yeah as much as I remembered but but Rabbi Groer who was in his room opened his door to listen in so I would say more he wrote down Since I decided to go to the oil today, I want you to give over to the ska for them, their children, their grandchildren. I was giving brahas and then the reb went back in and he said he wants to give more stock. Give me 600 six packs of hundred single dollars. And then after he went and he came out again and he said, "You'll surely give over a report [snorts] of how the kinus went." So right away, Rabbi Groner wrote and I brought it up. They typed it up and I gave it in. The was edited. >> You have the original >> and that's what I read for them. is but from my memories I wanted to give over exactly the >> was my G and that's what you read. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So this is all in a few minutes. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> That's very special. Thank means it shows you how much the Reb is with this whole concept that was calling you in >> I don't know how many people your age had such a thing. >> Yeah. In those years there was no Yas. >> Yeah. But I was lucky that he kept the door drop open so he could write it up. >> Uh there were other answers you got from the about >> Huh? >> About the about these? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Do you remember any of them? >> You should invite proper speakers. They should speak to from the Reb circled on the stationary. >> This is the one for >> Yeah. Yeah. >> She's saying this is a time that the Reba didn't come. >> Yeah. >> And the Reba said they should speak >> father. >> The famous thing about speaking as answer to to you. >> Yeah. I move them underline twice something that they could understand. Yeah. >> I remember I once I once MC a and they asked me to to say the over from's father. So I made sure that it's going to be something that's something that the people can understand you know based on the that you got. Uhhuh. It's actually interesting that I noticed that um by the um the contrast you see of the Reb, you know, let's say the Reb is coming down. You can imagine that these people that the Reb is speaking to they're probably the Reb is in the Reb's age and then just the older >> older. Yeah. Or whatever. But the contrast they all look old. The Reb comes in and like is smiling at them is young, you know, like like it's like is giving them you can see it in the videos. You can >> What was the story? Um there was a shooting you had answer from theba wasn't there some story like that told you right before like Friday I got answer and >> you got what answer >> last and It was less than a year later that the Reb came out with so here I was learning and then there's no I decided we'll start of Z. >> One second. One second. We're talking about Rambam now. >> Rambam. This is this has to do with the shooting because I want to talk I want to introduce you before I talk about okay say it I'll go back to we started the first >> okay so I'm going to say now that uh the big thing that we didn't cover yet is the thing that you're the most famous for is the haram and the sum that >> in order to make a you have to learn Okay. So the scene that happens every we're going to get into all of that. So you're saying this is the beginning. >> So we started the speaks about and you decide that there has to be a >> and I publicized it all over. >> You took it on your own. This is >> on my own. that height to start a year. So I remember put up signs all over that was titing a shar about 45 people came to that shar >> who gave the sharp gave the shar the first sh andem that it's already over 42 years every day we learn three >> sure >> yeah short while later we went over to k feriskan building on kingston And every day, >> every single day for the last 42 years is a shir. >> Yeah. >> What time is the sh? >> 8:30 Friday in Shabas. It changes winter, summer, usually before maid and every day three. You can imagine how many people went through these 42 years. Used to be mameish packed. You couldn't get a seat. And [snorts] today. Uh okay, it's online. So half of the people come, half of the people listen in and we have the barashem every day three. >> 8:30 a.m. or pm >> p p.m. >> PM. Okay. And we learn already most of the time we learn for tomorrow that just in case a guy misses the shir he has another day to catch up. She learned the next day's sh >> next I learned already last night. >> Is there from the about that you're aware of? >> But when the spoke by a faban he always spoke about the next day at least most of the time. So it's always the next day Shia >> okay >> that I remember for sure. Not only we used to learn for the day before but then they changed it because they say if there's a fabul we want to know what the Reb is going to talk about. So we caught up and we started learning for the next day. So this went on uh from Zion. Now it was listen to the dates careful. Viv two months later we had a tea party to raise money for kingdom was in the house of and I wrote into the for and was interesting there were no answers till I wrote in this. >> You didn't get answers for your >> I got answers. People that went on Shirum got answers on the stationary. There was no answer. >> We started started summer >> after after this >> this is okay. It's it's it's a short talking. Yeah. So I wrote in for Tuesday Thursday went to royal knowing why wasn't publicized in the came out that year. So over there there's the letter that today came safely to America. So before the entered oil I got an answer on this but wrote four letters. Hey B paybreviation question mark then answered. There were different reasons why but answered. >> There were different reasons why there was no answers. >> And answered and they sat down. They wrote a detailed d. 17 people came and we raised alcoh pledges then over $5,000. >> One second. So you were writing before the event and you got the answer after the event. >> Two days after you're giving a d. Okay. By the time the Reba came back from Dobb had a complete Sunday, I got an answer on the I saw like steps without picking up the pen. Oh, two answers in three days. So, I remember I typed it up. I sent everybody a copy and everybody had the same question. That Tuesday, Gimmel Tamos was the first time we learned the last two. The first time we learned the Rambam I think it was the last two and the first pale of and in the first pale of Ilhustinus the Rambam writes there's no such thing as Mikra happened by chance and if someone says remember it was the first time we learned to see such a lot was a After the sh I had a car and I gave four people a lift. Then it wasn't walking at night wasn't so safe. So I gave four people a lift and Rabbi Ellie Martvos Lang and to Kyap Rabbi rap. So before I dropped off anyone I was the first one I was going to drop off was on [clears throat] Carol between drawings connected. >> Yeah. So, as we're on the block, we see two robbers in front of a Jewish house. And it was obvious up to no good >> that the middle of Aeneva or they're breaking in. So, we were five, they were two young guys. So, we stopped and we'll see what we could do. He was already in Schmid. He had a walkiet. >> So, we stopped. As soon as we stopped the car, they started running. One ran backwards and one ran with the traffic to connectity. So I was the driver. It was the summer. The window was open and I gave gas and I mamish pulled up right next to him. We stop. He stops and within a second he takes out a gun and he shoots. I heard this big boom and I see a bowl of fire. He shot and on the split second I just floored the gas and ran away. Even though they opened the doors, everybody was still in the car and we took off. We called police, reported and uh they took the details. Seems like they're still looking for him till today. In the morning, 7:00, they say they have to inspect the car. Okay, the car is outside. They come back two minutes later. They want me to come out. I come out and they show me a bullet hole. Mamesh on the top where where the side window is, where the side mirror is, a bullet hole, which which by him it's a He that he didn't pick up his hand millimeter high have a picture the bullet hole in the car. [snorts] Obviously I was a little shaken up. I wrote the whole story. I was in the car and then I thank the for writing because the says I think it was [clears throat] he was what four or five feet away a car five people a full car shooting both stopped and And I had an answer on that answered question. actually want to know if you had in the car. [clears throat] >> So then wasn't so much publicized to have a car. This was tough. People did have answers but the communication wasn't like today you send a thousand people. >> Not everyone knew everything. >> Not everybody knew everything. There happened to be we had a safe randomly in the car and there was a pushka. We knew to have so they would steal we had it under the under the seat. So there was and a pushka. So this very important everyone should know that you have to have which now we know is they come anyway with and the pushkit to have in the car. And >> by the way there's to some have a muza also. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so I'm saying p we learned that there's no mikrab didn't answer for so long and then he answered I have to write again and what did the answer pay I saw and is brought to you by we live in a chaotic world a world where for usim is We do not have the ability to hear and see the on a daily basis.

This was before he was my brother-in-law. >> He was a baka then. >> He was in. I was a bak. >> You were a bak. >> I remember the story. >> I think I heard I heard it from him. The gun didn't go off. He he he came to make a mal for the and Thursday night before the mali he happened to go through the 770 he was debating to go in or not because he was in the rush. He went in punked Rabbi Klein met him. He said, "The Reb just sent out 50 single dollars and a bottle of wrote, which is a word for a bottle, not five zero, not one non, but again two noons." So he had already twice noon. He put the It was in the winter tavis. He put the bottle of mashk in his right coat pocket and the $50 in the left and he's going to where he stayed when he meets him on the corner was with a car in crown in Kingston and he tells him as he's speaking to a big tall guy comes over to him with a gun at killer and he says give me money. So he was thinking the Reb just gave him $50. He's going to give it to the guy. Within a second the guy gives a shot and he runs away. Mama she says right in front of him gives a shot and he runs away. So Nefi was in the car backed up to the police station tells him there's a shooting. So right away they >> The gun went off. The gun went off. >> Gun went off. Of course, there was a woman watched the whole thing. >> He missed >> and the police came and he ran over there. No, in those days, there was no cameras. There was no cell phones. >> You said they're still looking for him. >> Yeah. Over there also. And [snorts] they start asking him details. What did he look for? As things come down, Napolei feels that his jacket is wet. How's his jacket wet? Where did he drink? Where did he get water? Like the thing settled down and takes a look. When the guy shot, he missed that laser went into Napolei's elbow. >> He didn't realize. >> Got a shot. Didn't feel. He went to call police there shooting >> and five minutes later he was full bush bleeding from the gunshot. >> So he asked me if the bullet went off. It went into his hand. again answers out of the blue again. Why not bak book use the andvon von and here >> so twovagers have the m shooting and >> okay this is the stories that are okay so >> so once we had the shir >> oh so now you're getting to your career in Is that is that what we're going to talk about in Rabbi? So, it was a nice thing. We had the >> his idea. >> Yeah. He was the one first one that came up with it and there was a lot of labon here for beautiful pictures. It was Rabbi Ashkenazi, Rabbi Bistritzki. remember Marlo came through. >> Yeah. And all the people that learned felt it was there and actually was an a we had a beautiful summ and always I would type it settle and be and this day there's going to be a mitzvah and a fab. So how much times comes out to 14 times max [clears throat] and uh every time every time I wouldn't say every time but we gave in a copy to the for many answers s on the s on the re the invitation and also many times on the report beautiful answers. I have copies different that was ma sometimes the date I wrote hyo with a wrong date and I have a circle with a question like circled [snorts] the day circled pulled uh with the pen and a question mark how is it copied from the one before >> if I wrote this guy gave the CM Lily Nishm asked Ben What's his father's name? >> His mother's name. >> Father's name. Okay. >> And I wrote this guy gave for a birthday two weeks after the birthday. I should tell him to do many answers during >> the really of this. >> Yeah. >> Then [snorts] there was >> happened in 770. Mhm. >> They were in 770. >> Flex. Good. Most of them were in the Kyle. >> The Kyle is in the is in the back of 1070, right? >> Yeah. In in the where the Shir is or in the Viber next door. That was where most of them were. If it was a deager or something bigger, we would make it in 770. Actually there was one time that uh Rabbi Rap was a whole day in 770. He knew who's coming which in which there was one time uh mayor from a city in in Israel that said he might come. He wasn't sure. So if a mayor comes and I think it was a few mayors together so then we would have to do it in a bigger place in 770 in the show. But if they're not coming, so you do it in there's this narim over there. So I made the ma and instead of writing exactly where it will be like specify in 770 in the shim, I left it empty and the gave mashkb gave mashk. So, you have to announce what you're taking for and where it's going to be and which day and what time and everybody's invited. >> The Reb said to say that >> the said in the beginning the said to announce what he's taking for a few weeks later said to add >> so everyone will do that >> everyone. meant to free the but everybody would say. So this time I gave him the was before in other words till summer meas all the mashka was only from the we never gave in. People make a big dinner, a big they give him. But here we didn't feel. So all the times the Reb gave was all of a sudden the fab said he wants to give mashkba saying. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> So why didn't you give on your own if you saw that the wants it? He thought it was a certain times >> makes today a birthday party. He's going to give in a bottle. Like we didn't people gave in for real a big dinner from it wasn't >> sobb gave mashka and actually the first time the rebba said that when he gives mashk wants to announce what for he gave also >> when instituted this thing >> to say to announce what you're taking for I remember my brother called me from Tel Aviv like you had to announce you feel was a new thing but this time back to the story we weren't sure where we're going to make it so I came up and I announced that the whole thing without mentioning where and as I'm walking back to my place the says I have to realize by by announced right away do some 70 >> you decided on the spot >> here in 770 and from then all the CM in 770. >> Mhm. >> From then >> you can mean that like there's 15 people announcing and everyone is saying something here. I just kept like where it's going to be and >> so that's when it started everything in >> 770 >> and also you started giving mashka every time. Oh, so the mashk every time is like this. This went on from tshimal for five years till meas although one safer I missed in and The first that I came after I missed on this. So I realized right away that I missed uh uh safer and I announced both. Now the safer and seems like the was satisfied. So that was one time in Alo because I missed a safer. But this was a year later and the Reb said to make a so was a bigish but I remember before came and said you have to make ask what >> if if practical to make him was a big >> so what's the question if you should do it from then on >> no if we should make then >> but the said to do it >> said to do it so I >> he's saying grown if this is the kavana >> yeah to find out >> practically >> mhm >> so he had his office in the reb's house in the back I went over he said says They have asked about it. >> Yeah. After actually making it, I remember I ran in the bakery was open 24 hours. I think Pen and like Bimmer again and again the Reb said to make us see him. So made I gave him and me. You want to hear a little bit more? Okay, it was after Ding second day and the rabbi pin made all the roses, the regular roses and all the regular announcements and the Reb is still staying when the Reb doesn't take the sid means he's waiting for another announcement. So people said that he didn't announce the he should have announced something like that. So the is waiting and he finished. So because of his haggal of every week he was so used to. So he announced now this is five after one. >> Was it Shabas? >> It was also shabas. >> Shabas and yeah >> but it was y five after one. >> Usually no. Everybody reminded him he should announce the fabangan of after Mina and he announced 13 1:30. The whole place started laughing. The Reb took his sitta walked out two minutes later Rab comes out from the Reb's office and he says Fabang 130. So you'll see there's two Fabangans that >> whatever because it was announced there's there's a Fabangan >> and after the first the Reb called over Rabbi Groner told him something and he left Fabang >> Groner left. >> Yeah. He came back mish two minutes later a bottle of smear like a liter bottle. He put it on the table. I remember as soon as he put it down the started the second what was the second since there's a sem being made on the completion of every safer. So from today he wants that there should be a safer on every which means instead of 14 times on the there should be 83 times since there's someone that he makes the sum. So he should come up and he should start even today between the two fibbrangas and continue and the main one tomorrow night. Then the say is that when the reb >> and they was talking about you there someone that does it >> and he's so he'll be able to >> in this in this >> and the rabbi gave the mask so the rabbi gave So the whole thing of for every but that's why I said that I've also started chabas after >> slowly >> yeah and we made and then the next shabas after I'm standing in my place rabbi gron would come in like a half a minute before the reba said hint So again that the reb is giving mashka. We never gave in and since then the reba gave every week except one week. So you you would give in already battle before >> later we started giving in already and then Rabbi Gro would ask said whoever sponsors is also about the Mashka and so uh you're saying there's a every week besides one week. Oh, besides one week because we started learning hilashabis on the Friday. So a whole week there was no seal. Next one was the week. >> So from test there was only one >> every week except one week they never gave >> what if there's two in one week. >> So one bottle and we announced there could be four also. There could be four sum in one week right if it's small. So we had to announce and uh >> and also they always took place in 770 from from that time. >> Yeah. >> From that time when they asked where is where it is. >> Yeah. From then all of them 77 because the asked and wanted to know don't you? [snorts] So this way if it was once a month I had time to sit down who spoke how many when it started when it finished how many people came what were this two three lines on each speaker but here we made Sunday and then Tuesday was another one and then Thursday there were a whole bunch of one after another so I remember five past I didn't give in so I sat down I wrote And right away I got answer was received a warm thanks including the the happiness and the that you caused etc. And then a whole long brah. So the Reb would answer with this and since then we made every seal. Interesting. There was the nine days the Reb said to make sum but tough nun alf by the fabian. The Reb said that he wants not only in the nine days but the should be continued till >> so became >> became one [snorts] organization. Now I always knew remember even when the rebba started the first that to make a onishabove out of antishov someone has to learn the first two of and the third pic says since it talks about learn now Shabas the Reb said it was Shabas tishabove on tishabov and Sunday was the fast day. So the Reb said that they should make sum continue to kamisher shabas moz shabas Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and Friday. So I didn't expect it. I didn't have anyone prepared to make a sem on shabas on Sunday for all times. I didn't ask someone to learn my cotton before and I made the announcement. I made it very I said at museum and whatever turns around like every day zik montik. So I went right back and I said exactly the words that ever said I said exactly whatever said after theian is was revealed we didn't know before there's a whole called that says learned the whole learned right away the whole shabas and antishov but when I went up I didn't know that it's practical >> right >> there was target shabus mozzar shabas morgan and since then uh So 15 days straight there's a sem every day. So if you make a 83 in >> 11 and a half months plus 15 days over there. So it comes out to over 100 times a year. 50 weeks. It's average twice a week. uh see him >> what happened with um there's a time at they made a inb gave the mashk to you was the story over there >> first year the spoke tiheim was a bigb spoke again and again so everyone wanted sum and big ones small ones. The Fabian Udal Nissan was Monday. we made Sunday night in 770 Nissan and by the Fabrang the Reb said that today we're going to give Mashka only for those that are making before Niss and we didn't give him again >> so the main CM was after >> there was the big one Manhattan and there was >> the from the learned to Morocco they brought in from they did in the Rambam and so we didn't give in and for whatever reason other people did go up and uh they took the mashk and I'm standing there. We were the ones that the Reb said should take. So after the Reb they said uh the Reb picked up the bottle. They said that's the bottle they gave in. The Reb said you're making before your doll or after because he spoke in they said they're making on. So the Reb gave the bottle. The Reba turned to me and said, "I should bring a bottle." So he's standing by the Reba and no one has nothing. So they figured the Reba that's what I thought the Reba wants to pour a mashk from fest. So they [clears throat] quickly emptied out a bottle and I brought a bottle a flesh and said a fuller a full bottle. I didn't have. So Rabbi Groner had in his the small bottles that he used to give for Koshov. >> You had a backup in case. >> Yeah. So he took out that bottle the Reb gave. And in this bottle the Reba did put in from the f Mashk the mashk from the lamb city and 70 was packed packed Sunday night. Beautiful scene. You have to see the pictures. First team >> all the we had the six seven bid this year they all came there was two head tables raonim and the speakers and it was beautiful Rabbi Shalom Gutnik from Australia Rabbi Gash Mandel Gerelik from from >> Milan there was Rabbi Gerali used to give a shir Murali Rabbi Salangi, Rabbi Bogamilski, Rabbi Heber, Rabbi Shapiro, Rabbi Walberg, who did I miss? >> So these are all old magad mag >> was like a rotate. It was every day someone had to prepare and give it to Especially the first time you learning everything was new. Yeah. Yeah. They took it serious. The place was packed. Today is already you learn 40 something times. It's much much easier. You know exactly what >> it was a beautiful cm a beautiful cm big signs and this >> and you're always in the yourself. >> So I have a question. >> That's my best hour of the day. I'm serious. Like you're running here, you're running there. You take one hour 8:30 I suggest everybody that hears this should and another thing if there's any day that I don't go to the sh for whatever reason a simra or something you come at night you take the raam and you a question so you start looking in the bottom then you can fall asleep it could take you instead of 45 minutes a raam could take you double or triple as long. So you come to the sh like you said close your phone and any question there are so many people listening everybody has answer on the spot so it's mamesh for by far the best hour of the day 8:30 and every time we finish the threeim we learn of used to print every week that Now his son took over. He prints every week for our week printed and we learn whatever let's say three chapters what does it take five to 10 minutes. So usually it comes out to about less than an hour the whole sh. So I have a question that when it came to the other it came to the asked you know wanted to know I mean it's not that's not like a that's not negative but is questioning the wanted >> my question is were there answers like that or they're all you know answers that were and or a lot of times like I told you Ben the date and so I don't know if you know but the and the mems and blo answers she so we used to get all those answers I'm saying the clawless answers many many times. I gave him the we're having a see him in the suka. One word. >> Out of my memory writes underlined underlined to make peace in the world. There was a lot of like I'll tell you something else. I remember I used to give in it's like not such a big massuda but Friday before Shabas like after sometimes the mid would come to the box. I always tried before Shabas. So I remember would take the mid fold it right here seeam and put it on top of everything came out like he wanted should open up with a gut suras. So that I remember always seeam and put it on top of all the >> everything else >> on top of all the papers. >> So everyone >> times a day pages. So everyone knew that has tremendous from the right. We're too small to understand what this is. But the Reb really liked it. the Fabangans. The fact today you come in some 70 there are 10 birthday parties every night and Fabrangans and Madan or people come down and they say oh we remember that that twice a week we could come in and really have like a meal and it's the and the chev and the the environment and the fabian TBI saw much more than what we saw and he really liked it. >> There was a uh a senior center called Queens Senior Center in Caesina, a Jewish woman. She liked very much to Pushidesh Kite and she invited we should come for a for a program. So I came and I spoke uh spoke about Mashiach. I told him about the the six day war when it was such a scary time and the reb came out of and there was the big six day war victory on and on the Russian said they should build houses and all of a sudden the iron curtain M everybody came out and instead of having all these houses that I spoke >> they did build then 42 houses I think they lived in tents and caravans and parks and and the Gulf War said Israel is the safest place 39 missiles fell and not a single ye was killed from the missiles And the Reba said, "Israel is the safest place." And then I continued that not only that, but hundreds and hundreds of people come every Sunday to the Reb for and everything the Reb says is words from someone asks for a child that ever says the boy will be born. There was a boy, there's a girl, a girl. They gave two. It's twins, three triplets. I mean, thinking all about one of the seniors get up and he says, "Rabbi, how dare you say another word?" Then he starts screaming mameish nonstop. What was he screaming? He says that his whole family is the only one saved from the Holocaust. He came to America got married and he only has one daughter. She comes home and she says she wants to marry Aoy. Says his whole family he's the only one left and he has only one daughter and she's going to marry Aoy. He was completely broken. He did. He said he tried everything to convince her. Nothing helped. Finally friends told him that whoever has a problem goes to the 770 and the Reba solves every problem. Says he went 770. He was screaming it. He stood four hours in the line came to the he told the Reb's problem. Sister Eba told told him, "Don't worry. Everything will work out as it's supposed to and you'll see it." She married a She has children from the And you're getting up here and say that the rebba never made a mistake. That was screaming and screaming. Finally he said and not only the rabbi all orthodox rabbis to get I don't know why but here I interrupted him I said what do you have against all orthodox rabbis so he said [snorts] that when he went to divorce his wife the mother of this daughter no rabbi wanted to do the get so I said why not Why not? Ah, they said that she was converted by a conservative rabbi, so they can't give her a get. They give her a get. That means she's Jewish and she's not. I heard this. I told them, "Here's your answer." What did the Reb say? Don't worry. Everything will work out as it's supposed to, and you'll see it. A Jew is only someone born to a Jewish mother or gets a special and here she wasn't Jewish, the daughter wasn't Jewish. Why did the Reba tell him? Don't worry, everything will work out as supposed to and you'll see it. So, I was the one that uh explained to him the end was after the whole class, everybody heard this and comes over to me. He says, "You know, Rabbi, you're right. She wasn't Jewish." on his wife, the mother, the daughter. When she would get drunk, she would scream on me, "Dirty Jew." She wasn't Jewish. >> But here you see by every person, even though everything looked opposite, like when he started telling the story, it was like, "What are you going to do?" And he has to people travel last night by the I said the story two came they asked me what so I told him that I once went to Montreal this was summer nonfr every hour the pile of tetl would Oh, I was going to Montreal with a whole family with an old car and I was debating should I ask a bro or not from one hand whole family old car a trip from the other hand did I beget so many I'm going to bother him was between camp and school decided just to give him the names of mantra so it was Sunday afternoon uh M was 3 days after I was born. >> And I wrote I wrote the names. It was Sunday afternoon about 7:00 after dollars. I put it on the girl's drawer door. I go to Montreal and uh came home from Sh. Rabbi Gro wants me to call him. I call him back. says I'm sure says no settle first in Montreal and the Reb answer on this. What did the answer many of the custom or don't drive noagim in quotation marks the word noyagim >> [snorts] >> and saying the traveler's prayer exclamation mark and maybe you'll return its crown to its full strength and in both countries. I was going from the United States to Canada. Okay, I got the answer and then right away I was thinking where did I say because I was brought up by my father was a whole big stop and eating a piece of cake and making and standing with the was a whole I always said but here I was thinking where did I say I'm think I didn't say alter it I gave him the settle that never answered saying it's open open. So I used to publicize. I went onto the bus that goes every night to Montreal and later I meet up with the driver should say it with everyone. They used to call me the and Rabbi Rasin called St. Luke brought in the bus with 50 children for so because of this he wrote the he brought in 50 children and we said with them on the way. So the Reb answers him when you bring in the bus of children at night you have to say with them that was what he didn't do saying you're talking about someone that was here in those years every like you could communicate with the bylang just by thinking what you want what and then this was often someone that was here in those years remember people would hold the cup out by a fabangan like this as if the Reb doesn't see him other people like between the I would people the mish be looking into the between a certain person I remember he would say if he just picked up a cup the Rebu would pick up and answer him right away. saying he picked up once for a sen I the other guy is having his cup right in front of the and holding it up high was so here also like everything you saw how everything was open the said now Mashiach is coming get ready to any moment. >> Amen.
