I have never ever seen a dance like
that.
And there was jumping.
[laughter]
[music]
point I saw the reb's shoes in the air.
He was jumping so much.
>> As we enter the new year, secure your
family's daily stuck with Kan Hash
founded by the Reba in 1953
under Israel. Karan Hash ensures that
every single day of the year including
the taka given in honor of Shabas will
be given on your behalf. And I urge
everyone to enroll every family member,
men, women, and children by contributing
for each day of the upcoming year. It's
the ultimate way to draw down continuous
for you and the entire family.
I'm Yasi Cayman. Welcome to among
an ongoing faban about life as a our
vibrant connection with the rebba an
inspired living shaped by the way he
teaches us each and every day. [music]

Thank you, Rabbi Vogel, for making the
time to have this discussion.
>> Thank you.
Okay. So, I felt it would be appropriate
to leave the am that is listening to the
podcast
with basics. And what I mean by basics
is tish is the time where one of the
primary focuses of is uh
with the and that everything that that
entails and that the experience and the
best way to do that is to speak to that
have experienced it and know how to give
it over and I think that's very
beneficial for me personally and for
thousands of people throughout the
world. uh whether they know that it's
beneficial for them or not, maybe this
will help in that effort.
>> Sounds like a plan.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> As of.
>> So, I think you could, you know, I I'll
think what what we can do is start off
just going through in a chronological
order. So,
it's the first time I was here for
>> Yeah. They asked the am not to take more
than one, not to ask for anyone else.
So from then I think that stopped the
asking for someone else
but they gave numbers and the Reb
thanked the Vader afterwards because of
numbers it came easier.
>> There was numbers for lack of
>> Yeah. That year anyway
>> you got a ticket.
>> Yeah, a ticket with numbers. It went
easier because if you know what number
you are, you you're less hesitant. You
know, you go. So it it made it made it
faster for the Reb and the Reb would
always tilt before.
So the Reb would the the tray of cake
tray loads of trays would be inside the
room and for every person the Reb would
take a piece and give they would look
take a piece givea but each person I
would look at them
turn into his room, take the pieces, you
know, backwards and forwards.
They claim this I heard once a s that
person there was not like a a waiter a
server you know serving food but was a
lot easier when later after so the tray
is in front of the just
>> giving from the tray like that
>> yeah it seemed like you know is not
giving you he's not a server giving food
he's like
>> right
>> but it became easier
>> to have the tray in front of the
>> tray in front of the driver gives you
peace so he doesn't have to turn that
And
>> so it went to a certain extent it went
faster.
So whatever we stood in line for and you
have the two sudas then you come back to
push for catch a place for um the braha
to the bahim.
Okay. After the braha downstairs
>> after ma was a braha to an
they say the didn't those years the reb
didn't like the microphone
this was years that it went like that to
the microphone should take it away
>> the whole thing changed because it used
to be
>> used to be me was the first time was ah
>> then became a and a regular
>> then became a long
I think
>> in the early would get on top of the
table. Yeah, that's a
>> pictures of it.
>> Yeah, there a video of
a table. Whatever. It's higher.
>> It went up onto something. Yeah, it
could be. I heard it there was a table,
but afterwards um
it became a me I think was a like over
an hour.
>> Yeah.
>> Ara like [laughter]
people barely had time personally to go
run home and come back. You know, you
want to go to mikvah before again. It
was like then I remember the braha.
[clears throat]
So um after the braha
so I mean they held the microphone at
the side and as the went to the side of
the standender and as he closed his eyes
see the braha then they put the
microphone close. who's holding it
whoever it was casin maybe was holding
it close to to on a stick so he doesn't
have to be close to the you know and uh
the tone is different tone of is
different than
I think they ever stressed that many
years
And right after that ran upstairs to Kul
catch a place for the braha
>> for the for the I ran out and um okay
you know the time
said they're opening the door a certain
time was I think 15 minutes before
mention they don't want too much
pushing. It's a whole other story. I'm
not going to get into that now. But
there was years when there complained
that the Baham pushed for so long that
they they didn't have time to eat.
>> Yeah. Because the bahim were waiting
saying amal was open and people were sit
there the whole day
>> and the rabbi was not happy about that
not eating but you know because they're
hopping a place. So they made a rule
>> that the doors locked
>> right. So they would open up like 15
minutes before
>> and that's the whole thing where
everyone stampedes into into the room
>> because was another thing. So you
started using
you know when the brain keipper moved
first it wasn't there of his room for
the first 10 years nine years until it
became impossible in there. What
happened was the light switch went on
and off.
So um the mam disturbed the next year
went out to get in the tan. there's more
room standing there and on the stairs
until moved into the
so it's like every 10 years they had to
make a change was impossible and I just
want to describe what's like when I
describe it but going into the kipper
and uh people just coming in and coming
in and coming in and they took out all
the furniture the only piece of
furniture which was left was like two
tables or four tables
in um what do you call it soften side I
would say next to mascus where the reb
came in so they had the rubbish stander
on top of the tables to put a carpet on
top of it also and there would go up and
stand on the tables besides that it was
place is empty only the bimma which they
I think they couldn't take it out
>> has bimma
>> no not just armor the the bimma
>> it was stuck on the floor
>> it was too big to go out of the door. I
don't think they could move it.
>> So, they put it near the second door,
you know, near the kazin.
>> I think it was there and guys would
stand on there, but besides that there
was uh empty
and it's like
six huge fans. I mean, the air
conditioner there was not strong enough
for such a
three huge fans on both sides. makes
such a noise, but you need it just to
blow the air through and just place is
just filling up and filling up and
filling up and filling up. And I'm
short, so I'm trying to catch my hat cuz
my hands like this and I catch my hat
and the place is getting fuller and
fuller and fuller
and I feel my hand is like squashing my
chest like it's hurting. I I felt like,
you know, the I don't know. I managed to
move with a drop. It's crazy. You know,
pushing pushing and pushing. It's not
pushing. It's just squashed. And the guy
right next to me, don't forget he got
standing in lines. Wherever there's a a
centimeter of space, you know, there's
somebody there. And the guy right next
to me, his hands were down. And there's
no way he could pick his hands up. And,
you know, shvitzing this his glasses
just slid off. and they fell down. It
doesn't go onto the floor. It dropped
down over here. He says, "Do me a favor.
Could you put my glasses on?" [laughter]
So, I'm like, you know, barely able to
move my hand. Then I pick up his
glasses. And managed to hook it onto
this ear, which is close to me, but I
can't reach the other ear. [laughter]
I tried a few times and it's like in the
end, he said, "Forget about it." Hook
you do. There's nothing you can do. You
know, it's like
>> your hands are where they're locked. You
you cannot pick your hands up. Your eyes
are squashed. I mean, like no moving.
Then there became a sh never came in. As
soon as it ever came in, they unplugged
all the fans cuz you wouldn't be able to
hear a word. They unplugged all the
fans. Then it got hot.
But it uh whatever the I wasn't able to
see anything, but at least I'm in the
same room as Yeah, I could hear. there.
I can't say I caught the braha because I
wasn't used to this type of pushing.
Takes a different type of concentration
to be able to listen even though there's
pushing. But the words are very
interesting. you listen over to the
recording afterwards
like the
like
of
it that was the first year the Reb
allowed a speaker. So they hid the
microphone under the stander. There was
a speaker in the hall and then maybe in
the start started using the hatser
[snorts]
>> could hear something. I think the was
for the younger bakim. No,
>> that started later. Then the person did
the should be.
>> So those years was every bak was yeah
that's why I was a young bak was 15. So
the whole thing I was there the whole
thing that only the older
>> only after started
>> then they changed the sed when I came I
was in the outside was disaster and the
the pushing there for an hour before and
even that doesn't help me because I'm
not good at pushing and I found myself
on the outskirts could not and also
there came out very late
came out I don't know
maybe 10 uh I don't know 7 minutes 10
minutes after
they came out very late and the whoever
was inside they disconnected the
microphone because they thought it's
they thought you know it's going to be
already so there's no microphone the
spoke louder than usual the heard
there's no microphone no speaker and
there spoke louder than usual I just
heard in the I just heard the hum of the
Reb's voice all I remember at the end I
heard oh can you hear that then I heard
clearly
Besides, I couldn't hear a word, but
they recorded it.
They say, "Whoever held the
held the tape recorder." So he said,
"Doever finished two and a half minutes
of pushka." Okay.
Or rely on him. Tape came out. So
obviously it was.
And uh there's a recording.
And uh you hear crying in the middle of
one of the was screaming I don't know it
was on top of the roof the you know
didn't have but the beams were there
>> and he was on top of the beams and he
was like I don't know what happened some
screams so there was stopped in the
middle
>> middle of the
>> in middle of the
>> but um
talking what's going to happen but one
of the things that came out from then
that they would block the suka also no
more than 15 minutes before lmanion
shouldn't have pushing like that like
there was pushing for an hour it's crazy
before yontiff before kipper I mean you
know
whatever different uh
for me the best was mdalat I was ready
from the age 22 and the kutza could be
in the back room was the
They took out that window where the
swarm is are
and uh they put in all the benches from
the from the z into the kadesheni put
planks of wood on top of them. So you're
standing high was so high I could see so
well.
>> That's interesting. That's the best
place
>> for me that was the
>> unless your mom is in front. Yeah.
>> Yeah. For me that was the best. So so
mama should be able to see and the reb
came in for some reason I don't know why
they put a a microphone
in front of the reb was like why you
putting a microphone there I mean as
went up the stairs and he came to onto
the table and there sees a microphone
right in front of the stem there and
there like stopped and you know like
made his shoulders like what is this
there's a video of it and immediately
bakar came out and
>> so what's the problem the yik
>> there wasn't yontik But it's um
for Hassia after
>> right. Uhhuh. Okay.
>> So like so immediately Baka jumped up
and pulled down the microphone but there
was another hidden microphone under the
standard. I don't know what he was
trying to prove but whatever. But
there's a recording but I'm saying you
shouldn't have done that. Put a
microphone there.
Some years the Reb would pull the talis
over his face and some years the Reb
just left him
>> his talis on top just without putting it
down
but it always felt very special the
braha to the bahim the mahas to the
bahim in a way like uh
I don't think it was another during the
year to like that okay later is clawless
that's to tell them from outside New
York or outside America.
>> I mean the first year the Reb said the
Reb started it the premise for doing it
is the said
so this is the that's basically what it
is. It was a very very special feeling
for that
and Kipper itself was very peaceful as a
calm you know especially the night of
the name
very calming by
>> I didn't see because after the till I
got down and I didn't see much but
there was
which kind of interesting thing. It's a
separate story, but I probably printed
once. I don't know cuz a few days before
in keer
the the Arabs went into um Maris Yakino
they destroyed the place I think they
ripped up two and they were mishb
and there was very upset about it. They
say this is written down with um gash
Jacobson when he went by the reb
on Kipper there told him it's still
before I'll see if you can get some more
details what happened over there
and it seemed to bother very much and
continue talk about it both the
um
whatever means
and then uh by day Shabas braces but
there was a a whole hemsha but it began
in kiper the night of iniper so after
ding you see tm usually there would go
out after finished till stood maybe half
hour after the finished
was for
form but after he finished he didn't go
especially fast but the reb seemed like
he was going very slow
half hour after uh hasn't finished the
Reb is still saying tam
and uh
again the during a kipper day there's
not much happening the didn't even have
m on on day whatever shak
>> so by um so there's nothing much
happening during the day
is like the lowest key point of
>> yeah it's no to be a whole day with it
was
>> but peaceful
And then the a few times
>> but after I mean I love um
>> Mhm.
there would go.
Yeah, there's a certain uh
>> so by this know there was a
certain house
>> that and wants to know what time is keu
>> you know
>> but it's a I love the way that everyone
did that especially
then um then after the break or during
the break start hopping places for the
march because that was the the highlight
this time it was the middle of nila
Z and something happened with the kids.
I don't know exactly what and the turned
and he asked the
he misunderstood. He thought that wants
everybody to leave the area of the
Ahmed. So he screams
and tell everybody to go away and then
they understood that the kids who were
there they wanted them to come onto
so a bunch of kids maybe there 30 40
kids exactly and they stood on near the
wall now usually when
so he bangs with his left hand on the
stander so the whole island could see
but here because the kids are standing
on the right so with his left hand
banged on the stander with the right
hand. He turned to the kids. I think it
was Hulao but for sure that they were
made to them very strongly with his
hand. So the kids they should sing
and um at the end of um Sim Shalam after
the Reb asked the Kazen to wait and the
Reba asked to all kids under braitzu who
are able to dav should come to his
place.
started a whole in in the back. I was
like more near the bimma. So the message
didn't get there exactly heard it
alakinder
the establish kids you know even before
upish I remember and on the table which
is blocking the from pushing too close
to the baham standing on there holding
kids and they have to send them back to
the parents because they're one of the
only kids who could
>> mhm
>> and they're waited but they say that the
rebu then crying
I heard in the name of rabbi groner he
never saw the reb crying like that like
five minutes sobbing
and uh one of the kids who was there
says uh he saw they were crying like
that he started crying so they heard him
crying there looked at him and smiled
but um
and after all the kids gathered started
a volcano
I mean I would say there wasn't that dry
eye in the sh it was like you could
sense something happening there in
volcano again you know as years went on
there would to sing of over and over.
>> Mhm.
>> It was like uh by by the time it was
like five times by the fifth time there
was throwing himself backwards and
forwards you know and the island was
like
and after volcano
so then the kadesh on the march.
So the um so here because all the kids
are there so label grown instead of
having the kids should push around the
rebber from all sides. So you pull the
rebando all the way to the left so the
kids are near the wall and but only on
one side of the reban. So you know cuz
it's
so the chair was right at the edge of
the bimma closest to the then stand
there. I didn't notice this punct. So
somebody told me he said he put the
chair with the back of the chair to the
island so that it went like this. He
should turn the chair the other way. So
the reb should be able to get up on the
chair.
>> Napoleon's march.
>> Yeah.
And he comes to Napoleon's march and
there goes like this his hand on the
stander. They should um start singing.
And then it was standing and there was
straightening his talis straightening
and straightening and straightening. He
looked at me like there was
it's hard for him to go up. I don't
know.
It's a long time. It's just
straightening his tongue. Straightening
straightening. Finally, the Reb put his
left hand on his right hand on the
stander and stepped up onto the chair
and a little bit the Reb
waved his hand backwards and forwards a
few times and then there went down. It's
like very short. Even though I'd never
been there before, it still sounded to
me like it was short. Lier what I heard
from previous years.
>> The other years it was lot longer.
>> Yeah.
>> I mean the I remember later years
I don't know not sure what year they
started putting the stairs there. It's a
lot safer for the rabbit.
They put the stairs I think Malant
went up on the
one of the stairs. I just remember that
sear there was most of there was the
talis was covering their face completely
and there would clap like almost from
inside the talis
electricity in the air you know it's
like the the island was like the march
was unbelievable
and he said this time was short
and I'm not getting to but [gasps]
no we're getting there now so then this
matim
and there was a you know three times
>> was I think it was almost always was
>> and the last few years was um
>> by the way was the only time that the
made people fast a little longer
>> because of this thing with the kids
>> otherwise there was very mak they say
the the reb would have a watch on his
stander
>> right
>> so you shouldn't go over the time
>> and um now the the later years it was um
Reb started singing his father's name
>> father's name
>> and also and also the reb would come
into with his hat
right
>> yeah most times even though I heard that
me I wasn't there I was by I heard that
me that actually walked into me with a
talis not with a hat so right after a
reach's place asteroa
Um
the flapper they were call flapper
>> flapper. Yeah.
>> So he said so he said yes I guess he was
thinking
>> they would always say they even say some
was having heart attack.
So there was can't they bring the
vehicle yet
and always
>> and then the would um the would take the
hat off and put in the in the drawer and
stand there and take it off. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> There's different there's differences
from the year when they would put on his
hat.
>> Some years they take it off till after
the till after
>> and later years started putting on early
sometimes even by cave ready put on the
hat.
Um and the thing that writes in
this
would come into and he writes schlapp
remember correct and if I remember
correctly this huga to come with the
schlap is recorded by the with that word
schlapp
but it's interesting in the rashimus
spoke about it one of the sudas also
that the a year which I guess there was
especially meticulous in writing down
the predis
his talis was not on top of his head. So
even though in Zmani his ears people
cover the put the talis on the head here
the freak didn't the says I didn't know
if there's a meaning for barabim or not
so I didn't write it in hug him but
nevertheless it's a
>> right
>> then the will go upstairs and be kavana
>> what be kesana
>> yeah was outside there is there's a
picture actually wrote on
>> [snorts]
>> Um
smiling. I don't know exactly what
happened. And the Reb wrote in the back
of the picture.
>> That's the one from down
>> could be
>> that the angle is from down.
>> Yeah, maybe smiling because of his
angle. I don't know.
>> Yeah, there's a story about it.
[clears throat]
>> I don't know.
>> Prepare for the new year. There's an
essential campaign for every single one
of us to make sure is marked off on
their checklist and that is
the founded
under
to ensure that every single has the of
giving every single day explain that is
the general month that sets the tone for
the entire year and by securing our
daily sodaka right at the beginning we
will be able to draw down continuous
for the rest of the year there's a few
points to first of all it's for the
entire family the urge that every single
person should contribute for their
family men women and children so that
everyone in the family is covered and
the idea is that it's calculated by the
days of the year you give a set amount
corresponding to the numbers of days of
the year whether it's a dollar a day 50
cents a day or 18 cents a
It's multiplied by the days of the year
and especially in a year like this year
which is a leap year you have to
calculate the days of the year for a
leap year and it's a daily thing through
the money is physically dispersed on
your behalf twice a day before and
before and before
and when it's actually physically given
the encourage everyone to take care of
this as early as possible before. So the
year starts with this with the complete.
Take a minute right now, calculate the
number of days of this year. Count up
your family members and head over to my
karanhashana.com. That's m ke
ha.com
to secure your daily sedaka and
continuous brais for the entire year to
come. Okay, fine. So we're move. So now
we have uh the
>> which is everyone's
>> so is only the first day
>> right?
Um
again before l before meas those days
were quite unevent uneventful I would
[laughter] say
um
>> before oh you see because the
>> when the changed and
>> you didn't see the changed didn't see
the reba too much
>> so now we get
>> never came up
>> okay so now we get to the highlight of
>> at least in my view
>> but I want to go over uh whatever the
first time I came to it
Day after Yipper.
>> Mhm.
>> It seems like there started on Yuan
Haga. The day after Yam
started to go to the oil.
So the day after every Y
>> every Y
besides Rashana because it's didn't go
on a fast day.
But um day after in Kipper there went to
Lav. So I remember when I came to some
so they said actually somebody picked us
up from the airport and said then the
already done was in the aisle already
went home so we're not going to see the
reb that night.
So the first time I saw there was
but uh and there went
also and from then on I think all the
years from the after would go through.
So um
um I just described the I described it
in the the forerunner for the
>> the
original
my first 24 hours by the reb was like
whatever it's interesting I think I
think it's archived you can get online I
think anyway [snorts]
seeing the first time my father admitted
to me when the rebba came into he was
looking at me not not at the [laughter]
he wanted to my reaction.
But uh funny thing is I'd never seen a
video then a film of the Reba before I
came to the Reba first.
So I'd never seen they were walking or
anything. I saw pictures but I never
seen a
video.
So I see they're walking in downstairs.
[cough and clears throat]
It's tishary. So all the would be
downstairs besides
from Zyra also started to be downstairs
during t you know the big island
it wasn't hard to ask the rabban says
that I noticed through the years cuz I
remember one time a bus of tourists came
half the bus was boys half bus was girls
I don't think they were from but they
asked those girls in the in the bus So
the Reb down downstairs even though it's
quite empty but it wasn't hard to ask
the Reb to down downstairs. was an
excuse. They were down downstairs
even, you know, hat
downstairs cuz a big island.
>> Anyway, um so the reb
came into
remember seeing there for the first
time. I would say he looked different
than I ever saw the Reba before though
after that. I mean before I didn't see
but after
his face seemed like glowing. It was
like I don't know it was different look.
And there we go. This place
during Ashri not sure when that stopped.
I think after
>> I discussed this on a different podcast
with someone I don't think we came up
with an explanation but had this hug.
>> Yeah. put on the gel and put then later
snapped that
>> and to my would come in with a gle on
[clears throat]
>> then only
and um
okay I'm going to cut out a few details
have to go through every single detail
but just seeing seeing the right after
Mina Reb turns around
and goes over to Ardesh touches the
paras
and freight in Ley Frerieden the
photographer was there that was his
first year
first year's official uh photographer.
>> Mhm. So the asba saw him standing there
next to give him a beautiful smile and I
see you know I have to learn the han I
see smiles everybody smiles and there
walked there was going and somewhere
near the bimma in the middle of the shul
suddenly stops stopped everybody ran
over there by the time I got over there
the was already out of the sh but the
reb asked then bakar who's taking
pictures
let's go in tanya height how How much
time do you know about pay?
I mean when I went over there I heard
him tell you
asked me if you
>> this is an English guy when like another
American
eight years later spoke about it
I asked him if he learned
photograph
Maybe I don't know that one.
>> No, but this this was like
>> did this a few times.
>> Yeah, but this was like about
>> it's referring to that time. It's 8
years later speaks about it.
>> There's a video walks in.
>> Yeah.
>> Straight over the summer time.
>> Yeah. That morning. Yeah.
>> Yeah. The morning.
What's interesting there ask the person
who's holding the f the camera not the
one who's holding the video.
>> Interesting.
>> Personally I feel that video
you have more to learn. One of the
things never says you took a picture
yesterday took a picture day before why
you taking a picture again. What are you
going to get from it? So don't hog which
people um they write down they saw such
an hog a different hugger but what do
you get from just taking a picture
again? That's what there was. So I don't
know my own boy when it comes to videos
there was not so against it because a
video does have a
>> you know there's something more you
could learn from
>> and I'm thinking about them theorizing
about this more there was opposition
from the for pictures and
was told
but video
>> so there are mentions in that about
>> right video later when uh And Krinsky
went to start the videos. I mean and was
doing the videos in the liked it
>> even in that also there was satellite.
>> Mhm.
>> Didn't say the didn't say it in a
positive way.
>> Mhm. I remember one of Hild Krinsky I
think it was you know the one who
started gem and he was like uh or maybe
it was Freedom one of them anyway one of
the family was saying uh the first time
there mentions a satellite wasn't
positive
>> publicly yeah
>> yeah so like
anyway so I was just saying that this
what happened that first men I mean I
was there that night there was between
and it's the last time was that at
So my father asks I'm a client are you
going to
so says you just came you already wanted
to go to but later later years I found
out it was an haga
>> before and afterwards
>> no no be first you hear and then you go
to
>> even the first the bakim who came before
and they wanted to go to as soon as they
arrived and the freed said after shabas
And they were wondering and
Bobby Simpson then he explained he said
now we don't hear we don't hear the
Indian shout first come and then you so
maybe that was the Indian didn't have
this that year because our ticket was
the day after is there was no way we
could change it. So um we're talking and
um my father's asking and was there was
nothing to do already we there was
already he's going to the
so I didn't have but because of that my
father sent me the next year for so
another
>> because you didn't have
>> because I didn't have then so
>> I came the next year so I had
>> just by yourself
>> yeah I mean yeah I went to room by
I was twice
and
very short but
um
we up to so
that night was
so I remember the discussing if the
um usually afterb would come at 1:00 in
those years but because go to the
because it's So mama will come at 12:00
and they were right. I already told you
before about the the goal. So I'm not
going to repeat but me b me b me b me b
me b me b me b me b me b me b me go I'm
not going to repeat it again
>> and that night was there we came back
from
there we came back from
so the
downstairs till the end of there would
always be a break between even though
was late was after but nevertheless
there was always a break between
after
mandal did that So they started having
together
and even shabas byan if it was late also
together that's a new han started eld
so after ma there went upstairs to his
room and there was media that may be I
think 9:15 whatever and then a courts of
faban usually a court of fabang meant
two hours bar two two and a half
excuse
Um
comes in
and uh I told this already before about
when I said first time. Okay. Anyway,
first timer
said that he wants all to go to um
especially to show that in the world. So
should go and beus.
So to show that Yid wherever he is he's
comfortable he's valas so especially
should go to all the different places
then going to
be the other places
stood up by then gave out dollars
it's the first time getting dollars from
the rebed
so I went over
by the time I went However,
in the early years of dollars by
Fabangan, it would still be in the
middle of Fabangan and the Tistan would
go around and give dollars. It was hard
to climb over the people and especially
I wasn't used to it. When I came to the
revis gave me a pack of dollars, but as
soon as I went off, somebody says to me,
"Everybody has dollars already. Take for
yourself and uh give me the rest. I'll
give back to Mosquious cuz
there were loads of tist."
>> Mhm.
I tried to squeeze back inside and it
was a interesting um
and the Reb said to a few to whistle
remember from is next to me and he's
whistling I think the Reb said two and
one went after another to whistle by the
third nan he's still whistling he has
his eyes closed and he's whistling with
all his kayak and looked at him and
smiled
he was like in a different world
and the end said um like sing going out
of gus
there started to give simha and there
was stood up and made
a very wasn't very unusual in those
years but it was still an interesting uh
thing
that's really the night before sukus
and sukus used to be a peaceful yont
once time before sukasa
The only real frail night was the second
night sukus. Besides that it was um
>> why the second night? Second night is
always for it was a moment thing
officially. The second night of sukas is
because in mlang.
So the second night was always loads of
herangans. Randle Futfas used to fang
the
was a big always a big fang. The house
where I was staying futfas was an uncle.
So he used to come to that suka always
for ring
and um anyway. So um I remember just uh
the second night every time most times
when there came in that sukas they were
saying
and there came in there on the way to
his place and start my or was second
night sukus they were singing
and there comes to his place or put down
the turns around him start clapping turn
around to the was like wow it's like a
really exciting it's very unusual
a regular
like that
but did that every
that was they say because of what
happened afterwards and there wasn't
with
that was unusual but even also there
and um
I'm going to remind myself now but
and there's every
especially before mar
so one of the time is salah and there
comes in it's you look the video it's on
the tishary video of it which gem came
out gave out the black and white one
there's a fraen video but it's not that
good the black and white one push
focuses on the you see the is seriously
happy it's like hard to explain it's
serious for
>> that's the
particular thing I mean that looks like
what the Reb looked like on some
that the Reb's shoulder slightly as he's
clapping and and as turns around Nigan's
over and Hakafus used to be the same way
soon as turns around then Ligan's over.
Hak is over.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. They say one of the not sure why
they say one of these gimmel maybe early
was upstairs
came into
and they're seeing Allahb got up on his
chair and for 10 15 minutes they say
whoever was there will not forget it
people saying ah I missed it I was there
but everybody remembers that
>> I think it has something to do with the
the the with the niggan
>> I don't know what I'm saying
>> I mean you could say a bunch ac really
liked whatever like
>> also like it also works very well
musically. I don't know like it's a very
>> I thought about it over the years like
what's what's this thing
>> I wouldn't know why but anyway that's
but there's a bunch of really liked
so also is one of the nonimm that um
mavage sing it by hakafus one of the
nonunimon
>> mhm yeah
>> um
shin
where's the others not too many more the
hakas but that
change the sometimes it ever changed it
especially when he danced by himself in
the later years.
Um but generally I say sukus is a
peaceful yont I'm not going to go into
the second night and ladv was a strange
thing it parted from the second night of
sukus it poured until
pa almost did not stop raining I don't
remember a single meal we were able to
eat was like run in with your coat and
eat fast and go out it was pa pouring
the whole time it's settled from the
rebaban it's printed
>> that uh somebody asked How could you
have the name of if you if you um was
such a mat of raining and it says in the
Mishna
so how could you have so said since
you're ready
also they say even though it's raining
say
it was pouring came in said loud so
should hear you say even though it's
training
also said if inside right
>> so there in the settle the says since
you're ready
that day so it can't be that the doesn't
accept your sitting in the
exact
it's the discussing it's hard to
understand this because we do continue
to also whatever it's
>> I think that year they did they didn't
they didn't eat But the
>> yeah whatever
>> inside
>> actually hasha knight
>> I think someone was describing a menal
and he was heard his head out I heard
about that
>> night
so after till
announces because the sent over somebody
suggest here bring so I wasn't there you
know my friend I was a young boy my
father took me home to sleep I have to
tell him but the guys went into the suka
bring it's pouring and they say before
the went home they would go home shab
would go home by shak
so the looked inside the suka and saw
ranging and the said
>> mhm
>> anyway so it was raining so much the
sherba the reb gave out lak next to his
room
>> and not in the suka so I got lak next
was ruled. So it's the only year that
happened was push pouring
>> the later years it happened
>> I think wasn't that the room
>> don't think I mean I don't know you have
to check out
>> okay
>> but usually usually we came up with this
okay
>> okay one of the integral components of
being aid are the and whether it's
orim
these days give us an opportunity to
connect with ourim to connect with each
other and be better.
What is the story behind each of these
days?
How did the rabbi commemorate and
celebrate these days? And most
importantly, what are the lessons, the
takeaways, and the action items
needed for each of these dates? All of
this and much much more are answered in

You can have the set.
Go to.org/ org/our
days. Order your set today and start
living with
>> so you're
from till
>> I just want to mention one more thing
was interesting um
uh second day sukas
so the first day use a little of an
um the would always stand and wait until
does their hakafa
then they would start continuing to down
so the reb would first go make the
hakafa every behind the but there would
stand and wait every single day they
would always look
old years so they were standing it's
waiting the kazin he didn't know or
whatever the reason was he screams
landas the meaning is that you put back
the cifer
and as you put him back scream the khan
screams landas and everybody else
repeats the pock
and here he screamed landas and there's
this big estric in his hand that returns
to him
what are you doing?
So that was uh when the finished going
around the bimma. So the reb himself as
he turns turns around the reb started
himself she
like unusual
anyway uh you see okay let's get some
as I said sus was um
peaceful then till
and so I remember um
uh Uh remember Jacobs called me up the
first time he said describe was the end
of the nuns maybe not so much the end
zone
described tish for no problem I'll
describe tish I'm speaking about
comes to his new word about he's
interviewing me on the phone I said I
can't describe he left me alone the next
year he calls me again he says you have
to help
Nobody wants to talk about everybody
asked. They all say we can't describe
I said you know I'll try as much as I
can but it's indescribable.
So I I usually give the three
and I say very
brings down
explaining the
they said the first time he was by the
alter used to do hakus first by himself
the
family and then he would come out to the
whole so the hakus the alter himself
said the whole
he was kaz like for the whole and he was
kazen for every hakafa
repres
I started to have a little understanding
what a yid must have felt felt like when
he went to migdash
first time I had such a understanding
that's one one Indian another Indian
I'll tell you like this there's say kar
had a
whatever about
had a dream who had already passed away
came to him in the dream. So who's in
this world says how is it up there? He
says very good
to a shabas.
So wakes up he's wondering what do you
mean?
He thought to himself like this. It says
shabas is
so by every person shabas is of his but
when you come to
he invites you to his shabas his mahaba
is more than your whole
>> I was thinking the same thing the rebba
invited us into his
and that's probably maybe whatever the
reason why you can't describe it you
push you felt like you're in a different
idol there's certain times People tell
you that or even the moment you're
getting a dollar from the Reb
you suddenly in a different dimension
time has a different meaning over there
everything has a different meaning. So
by the reb
the rabbi invited us into his his
printed in I think it was a book called
whatever not
articles just articles from people about
the I don't have the book but I saw in
that article [clears throat]
somebody writes like this an Israeli um
you know
>> reporter
>> reporter so he writes like
For years, I've been hearing that you
can't describe.
Now, I'm a reporter. My job is to
describe things until one year I decided
I have to go there just to describe.
But what should I tell you? He says,
he's writing this in his article. He
said, "What should I tell you?" The
first time I see something you cannot
describe. What should I tell you? The
describe the bleachers of the bakim up
to the ceiling jumping up and down.
shall describe to you the tuatis of
thebigan.
None none of this will give you the the
atmosphere the the the a which there is
you can't
he say first time my life I see
something you cannot describe and I'll
tell you something else when I was on
to come
he's uh he tells him for whatever reason
it was one year he was here
says
he said when he saw
He says and he asked surely how could I
prevent my son from experiencing the
same the same experience he says he
traveled specially to the rebba another
time I figured that was sim whatever I
traveled to the reba specially just to
give my son the opportunity to be by the
rebus
I don't know it's a kite whatever but
I'm standing feeling
>> it was amazing just to hear that from
him and after saying that you can start
explain describe whatever you can
describe you can't you can't describe
I'd say most years you know before the
comes in the night of
I mean it's all the same
they go into different differences
basically um my would be at 7 7:30
would start at 9:30 :30
after started at 9:00. Same thing with
Fang and
they try to make things a little easier
to make the half hour earlier. But in
general, I'm describing they're coming
into which is more than
so a lot of the years that I remember
was 10 years
in the later years. So generally it's
saying um
Yeah. Yeah. So there be a circle people
dancing. Once it got full there is no
room to dance and people you know
singing on the place and the comes in
and they make a shill for the come
through and there is mid comes in a
sther everybody I've spoken to says the
same thing you know usually comes with a
sther he puts down the s but everybody
remembers
puts down his sid with both hands
to know him and then the turns around.
Hey. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And suddenly the
whole 770 is like one stick. It's not
separate people anymore. Everybody
controlled by the Reb's hands by the
Reb's movements and everyone's together.
It was amazing feeling just all
together.
And then there was I mean uh
there was scream at the recording there
is from Mashia from the is nothing
compared to that. Well, now we have
another recording.
>> Yeah.
I don't know if it's I'm sure it's not
Loratzens. I don't know should mention
public or not. But the the the way there
was a
that you could hear the Reb over most of
the sh there was screamed so loud. I
remember people even saying I wasn't
here but the people saying the way the
reb in the beginning was screamed at
also allares
is loud comes to it's like way louder
and then after each
night and dayb say the karata three
times that's a letter from rash to the
rebba asking in the Reb to continue
saying the
>> Oh, so that the letters to continue it.
>> Yeah, that's if I remember correctly.
>> I thought [snorts] I thought I remember
that it was like Okay, interesting.
Okay,
>> I thought I thought he's asking that to
continue.
>> Okay,
>> they say people have been saying that
they used to add a
ho
>> sometimes. Yeah, sometimes not.
>> It's on Hak.
>> Yeah,
>> but then they figured out was only one
time that they added on Hak,
>> right? So maybe the other times because
of the
interesting um
they printed they printed hakafus you
know everybody should have copies
>> they put that in
>> they put it in didn't say it remember
did not say it
anyway then to go the first
>> and there we go to go to the middle
whoever's close by wouldbay
there would say gam
that's the main reason people would say
that so the reb should say gam
one time by day they lose
>> and it can be for the deba has to be for
yourself [laughter]
>> we're all uh we want to cash in as many
as we can
>> so one year I actually kissed the satire
while the was holding it by day by day
was less people
day was less people and by night
>> by night was like
I remember the first time I was there
trying to catch a place. I got the most
dangerous place in uh
was between the Russians and the
Frenchies.
>> Danger zone
was a little closer to the Russians
[laughter] in the middle night sh also
in the middle of the what one of
I blinked. I'm telling you, one second
they were there, 200, 300 guys just
one second they're there, the next
second they're not there. They all
jumped down again and they landed on top
of one bucker had to give them oxygen.
Before lad, there used to be near the in
the middle where there would dance two
huge bottles of oxygen the green you
know whatever you call them
>> metal. Yeah. Labelki standing next to
them like they have to give him oxygen.
in this bah like and they see one bakar
standing there. The ventures are empty.
You know, suddenly go they all clear
cleared out went to the hakafa and they
see one bar minus his hat minus his
jacket minus one shoe. He bends down,
picks up two titets, rolls them from a
business pocket. They were wild, those
guys.
Anyway,
the Russians had from one of the beams
on the window of the vibes inside. He
had a rope. So the last guy because it's
a drop so they had a rope there to hold
on to
>> the equipment. [laughter]
>> Everybody had their own at those years.
I don't know why they would block the
Kingston vibes. So if there's any ladies
in there, they couldn't see a thing.
But I was on top. I had my sweater on
because the air condition was blowing
right out of me. So I turned it you know
the flaps it should close somewhere
else. So I said, "What are you doing
everybody there? Don't close it there."
I'm not closing. I'm just turning it
like freezing.
>> It's good. I mean,
night
comes in. It was quiet and turns around.
And then remember the roar of the crowd
like
began.
Uh um what should I say
before
hakafus I sat there for the first time
my father whatever I sat down with my
father on first table nish opposite the
reba
came we didn't go to I didn't even I
don't know if I knew about it or not
doesn't make difference I was there it's
the only time I saw the make kdesh by
night
came in he made kdesh so I suddenly
realized
I see the Reb like sitting or holding
the kais and suddenly I see the going
lower. So I guess there was like sort of
on his knees. He wasn't sitting.
>> He didn't want to stand. No, the whole
kesh.
>> He didn't want to make the whole stand.
>> You thought that was sitting.
>> I thought he was sitting. So you see
they were going lower.
>> [laughter]
>> made
very frail of
explaining that usually they explain
and um in middle fab says to
honor all detang
says
uh should sing a niggan of Medina with
words from Medina.
So they started singing from seven 70
marching out there didn't move as if
they're not singing. So they realize
doesn't want that niggan.
So the quiet voice I guess the
discussing what niggan to sing. So the
looks to barsman.
So he sung a song. I don't know the
words for sure though. I always sang in
Russian
and there was a little bit and after you
finish singing in Russian they have to
sing something in English.
So there was no
finally start singing just one just one
sing I knew the words from a different
song from England. I didn't know the
tune. It's American tune Yankee Doodle.
>> Okay. I I didn't know the song and so uh
I'm trying to catch the tune as
[laughter] opposite me is old old on the
other side of the table zing zing
[laughter] I'm saying the word I don't
know the I knew the words I didn't know
the name was clapping was wow mish
clapping
and then
um
said to sing a song in French a French
song with French words was the Hatir the
Reb always used to show him to whistle.
So to him, he had a huge hat. Then he
was like sort of a leader of a group of
uh Frenchies next to him on the Reb's
right.
They sung the national anthem with an
extra piece which I hadn't heard before.
It wasn't in the
right
>> they added it later.
So they saying that they sang the
>> sung the whole anthem
French words and there was looking there
was he did them like that.
Then there was
the but not as much as the first. Not
[snorts] as much as the English one.
>> The English one.
>> Yeah. Not as much as the English one.
Well, there was
says
of
his aim.
So I figured there
before he said
so the mother of all languages. So
kale
did to his head and it came the end of
announced that everybody should leave
the should leave the sh to be able to
set up for hakus.
>> At that [snorts] time was no kdes yet. I
think that started mandala something
like that.
camel maybe
>> was a kdish after
>> kdesh between fabangan and
>> okay
>> and office which still does it till
today you know
>> oh outside
>> so um anyway the so he got up the old
tvski to announce
>> I guess it's a a tradition in labav
before you make an announcement sha
I don't know exactly what happened at
that moment I didn't notice but I see
label grown telling him to get up onto
the table like he's okay he got up on
the table he starts again.
He starts again.
>> Say three times.
>> Okay.
>> Just like he was the cousin for always.
Say
the call say three time each time this
is a raise your voice really
sh
[laughter]
and the reb is smiling the whole time.
So while all this is going on there was
beautiful smile. Then he announced every
go and then you know that's the only
time I heard the reb sing this again is
no recording but today
I
left it's the only time I ever heard the
singing this without words. It was just
>> you heard the reb singing it.
>> I heard they were singing it without
without words.
>> They sing in front of in front of the
>> Yeah. Those times here I heard the Reb
sing it himself.
M
>> and that there became tacus
hakus
I mean I get into some of them but one
of the uh
um
okay at the end of
so instead of the going out the way came
in from the sides of the tables they
went in the middle of the tables towards
the where he danced. So he comes to end
there's a table in the way which seem
there would do that every year until
ladas.
So I I I don't know. I was dreaming for
a second and one of my friends says look
look and I see the was like climbing up
onto the table seemingly the pulled a
box from under the table stood on the
box stood on the table. So suddenly the
tables are quite high but stepped up
onto the table and as the rebbit jumped
down and as he jumped down they went
like this.
to the I don't know what niggan it was
but
>> it was blocking the rabbit
>> the table cuz the reb walked to the
middle so the table was blocking the
>> so stepped up they say other years the
rebel like swung himself over but the
heroes box
>> stood on the table and jumped off but I
remember as he's jumping off went like
that and then they have to slap rashag
and label
rashag over the table
whatever Anyway,
that was llama 12.
Um [snorts]
I noticed something interesting lad
during the day fabbran
and um it's long fabangan they're wash
say around 7 7:30 something like that
and uh I remember 25 to 1 cuz I was
standing behind there but then came a
little later so I didn't have a place I
stood behind and so I seen the clock the
whole time like 25 to one bar there
started the mimemer
It was like it's a long fang six hour
fang in the middle of fang
was um one year there his name is
is from
they say he was very very active in ms
film
so the reba told him see quite a number
of times at one point I see the rebba I
don't know how the cup got to the reba
plastic cup the opens the water the
pitch of water which was for the Reb.
The Reb poured a little bit of water
inside the cup and the Reb handed it to
label fill up with wine
and
he gave it to Label handed it to
I guess this was the last cup.
He was quite uh whatever. So he stands
up
and there with a big smile like sit
down. It was like it's very uh
at the middle of I noticed something
there again I don't want to be but there
was a whole mess that Rabbi Sudak once
told us against me of um
how the the reb once sort of explained
that the rabban
>> no no in general in general
if you could look it up and Uh he said
then they realized the first time there
was straighten his tie would raise
himself up they realized that same the
are coming. So having heard that here I
see something interesting like at one
point the reb is like clapping to an
middle rib goes very fast
it's like almost you should notice like
a half a minute or minute later there
was
raises himself up I mean I saw many
there were many times passing from one
side to the other he didn't raise
himself up
>> but here like half a minute after he
straighten his tie they raised himself
up so it tells you something Mhm.
>> Different and like that
>> among is brought to you by we live in a
chaotic world. A world where for us is a
we do not have the ability to hear and
see the on a daily basis. Yet we know
that the is very much with us and is
alive and thriving more than ever

say there different every every year has
its own
first time there
in the middle of
then like I mentioned before the Indian
of the was going on
so um before
he I think it is
so the reb turned around to cats who was
announcing the who should go to office
so the looked towards him started saying
something it looked like they wanted to
give him an instruction They
became quiet but started a sika instead.
They never stepped forward and started
saying the
whole was leaning on a stander
and here stepped forward.
Basically the Reb said all should go to
the hakaf
to show that belongs to belongs to us
belongs to Eden
in a sense I would say one of my friends
was saying it looked like the was paying
back for what he didn't do by the march
there was the march was so short he
there was like he did
mom but the biggest surprise was after
there was finished to see took his
sitter there started saying the
so high pitched I don't know how they're
able to reach so high
so high like mommy very very high and
there was scream lips
and there was saying lips quietly you
know the small
and some people started to sing and some
people shy you
So as soon as I finished the mara
they started singing he did so much
there was actually a not a beard right
in front of
and he was going to the like this the
whole time with his hand. So they're
made to him also very strong a lot but
it was very strong hakafa
again even there was a before
before hakus but in the middle hakus
again before
so again the start and this time the
said that all those who are
um when the army the
all different types of
maybe all those are different types of
the Israeli army should all go to the
hakaf
then the reb said again
in other words he was kaz for that
hakafa but the reb didn't go to the
middle was on his ding place they didn't
know what niggan to sing so after the
finished
sob started singing hash
Um
wasn't here
whatever I mean
was I think they were the special ones.
>> I think your hakama
I think your hakama was very important
give the context.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
Um I should I say Mandalad
was a very interesting um
Shminyataris Knight. Usually
is like a little contained is not all
the way as big as usual
night
there was like so
there was almost bent over double ah
there. Yeah. Yeah. His hands stretched
out for bending and his hands stretched
all the way forward like
so afraid of the the hakus. And the next
night the spoke about it and the Reb
said that with
the alterb when there was a who should
win the war alter if um Napoleon or or
um
And uh it was the S shine whoever blows
KS first and told the story didn't say
the name who was the other just wanted
to stress he was a person a person. So
it's given there was says like stressing
and he says um so the other this he told
his people right away to get there the
dam fast and when he got to he picked
the in his hand and he said I remember
there was saying this like loud I the
like the he did it first did it already
it was called the litw and he he blew
for what did alter
the the chaer should be before ding just
like lulv is before ding then later you
take ding again. So same thing should be
right in the way in then you blow again
in Mos but they stopped there was
because um the Romans or whoever it was
was getting nervous
>> I think I
was reading I think it says you're not
supposed to do it that early
>> not supposed to do that okay the main
reason
>> right
>> not whatever you do it later yeah
>> yeah but the main reason is the said not
to because the the go were afraid of
making an uprising Right.
>> But once you do it in the middle of
domining, you see it's part of a
ceremony. It's not an uprising. It's not
a rebellion. Anyway, that was the main
reason. But went back to the original
thing and he blew first. So you see from
this says there but sometimes you have
to be
before the actual time. So here we will
mock them before the actual time of the
so
the end of this says because the time
before hakus so every yeid is able to to
bench another ye so everyone should
bench and then at the end
says
to to be um
to to
said's
And then he said and
said didn't say Hashem's name
said
the next day they don't explain why he
didn't say the whole
only
said has to do more of the
benches everybody
it was after between hakus between and
coffus everybody's going around benching
each other it was like and this kiddish
outside you know everybody's eating
there but people going to each other and
everybody's benching benching each other
was at se
I mean they were just benching they were
hugging each other also
>> it was like that's one thing
>> it's an interesting thing that I'm
noticing from your te
And everyone talks about the rabba but
but I two things you mentioned I mean
the story of the and also the way you
started that everyone felt like one
>> so it's like the type of the feeling of
brought out you know the
like it's it's
altogether
had this feeling which is
Yeah,
>> you're saying a mif that you saw.
>> I saw a mus. It was the night of
>> and it was before around time you know
the the the reb would be moved out
>> for place. There was two benches in
there
>> and I saw somebody suddenly screaming
from the river wasn't there yet. So the
the space for the skin was in the front
on Miz.
>> Um no um the right side say Dam.
>> Mhm.
>> And it's called
the we labor of the head of T he was um
cuz he had something maybe a heart
attack whatever it was something
something was going on.
I remember as they were taking him out
to the kids all came and they took him
on a stretcher and as he passed by them
I was standing like
towards the front of the sh o I would
say opposite I was ding in a sense to
the left side of ardesh but near the
first beam so came out opposite
and as as they took him out and I see
Robert Lio's face he was on the
stretcher face white like a what should
I say like a white tablecloth like a
white shirt is white get oxygen on you
know any next part I didn't see
obviously but they say that they took
him into the ambulance and they that
he's not well and they have to take him
to the hospital said don't take him to
hospital cuz I won't be able to take
care of him leave him here should be by
every ding every office everything that
night they didn't see him I don't think
he they brought him to office that
But from the next day, Davening Fabangan
everything he was there by the Fabangan
before hakus they pushed aside two
benches where the scaling would sit
behind the reba and he was on there on a
wheelchair behind the rebus.
He's on the Reb's bimma on a wheelchair.
Now the reba would be I say wasn't
packed. It was full of people. know
anybody who felt he had a excuse to be
there would be on the rabbis bimma they
would bend down so not to block everyone
it' be full like whatever and he's on a
wheelchair
a little past the reba not to block the
is on a wheelchair in the middle one of
the nigunim
and I see there was like looking through
the people catch his eyes and there
starts clapping towards him and suddenly
he was likewah
is his hands were hanging over the edges
of the of the arms of the wheelchair,
you know, it's like on his face is white
and there was looking forward to
there was like clapping towards him and
somebody pokes him like look there was
looking at you so he looks up and there
was no so he starts clapping I remember
my eyes popping out I see part of his
face which is white start to get red he
starts to come back to himself
a day after some I saw him walking
around very
>> people should saw this with your own
eyes.
>> Yeah, I saw only I'd say the only time I
saw a mifus with my own eyes
like there was making in front of
everybody.
Most people I talked to don't remember
it.
>> Yeah, I never had this.
>> There's if you look in there's a of
>> that whole story
>> and they don't have the whole story.
They just mentioned he was the reference
asked about him. Yeah.
There's one thing anyway. Um
MH is actually the first time I saw the
Reb showing to whistle on Yamiff. There
was somebody the whole coffers was
whistling on the
on the left side of our you know
>> it happened before
>> the bleachers. See the first time I saw
the rabb
>> but here at the end after it was after
lane already mish the end I said yet
they returned to the wall they were show
to whistle that was like on yontiff I
remember I was talking to somebody on
the phone after yontiff and I told them
they were said to whistle said wow
because in this famous
says not
so here it's said there whistling okay
So it was a big
>> the same thing as clamping.
>> Yeah. I don't know. It happened even
more than that. Based there was one time
they were said to whist on chabasades.
It wasn't here then.
Anyway, um
was there told turned over the cup was
also scene middle of a coffus and that's
also the mishb of the was like looming
in the background you know
>> I can't say thinking of it the whole
time but middle of the middle of fangan
there was suddenly turned over his cup
I can't say mish noticed this somebody
told me he sw like that to take out
every cup but the Reb turned over the
cup and there starts showing to both
sides like what does the Reb want? They
say Yan was the first to and he turned
over whatever was next to him. Then the
Reb said something about to empty the ca
not to pour out not to waste it.
>> Then there's the the m the rabbit
afterwards.
>> Yeah. But then the reb um
the reb held the kama for like an hour
a nigen everything and I think also they
sung
and there were there was holding the in
his hand
>> upside down
>> upside down and there was waving the
making there was explaining there was
what's a cup upside down so just like on
the
se the ra puts all the cups upside down.
What's it upside down? Just like the
windows of the bign.
So the light goes from outside. So the
same way the hashb comes from the bis
migr to everywhere. That's why the cups
upside down. So mela is the Indian of
holding a cup upside down. It's like
next to me is next to me as said he goes
wow like [laughter] what a beer
explanation.
I remember in the middle I'm I'm stay on
my place where was more on to the reb's
left
closer to the back of the sh and I see
on the bleacher on the the other side
the arm side I suddenly happened to
notice
a kid the bak whatever maybe he's 15
years old something 15 16 around that
age stop
he's he's holding a cup with something
in the nashka wine inside his
standing and holding and smiling from
the situation. And I think to myself,
you're supposed to turn your cup over.
What are you doing? There's no way I can
get a message to him. The split second I
thought that there were like turned to
him when like an emergency
showing his cup showing the showing his
bakar to him like supposed to be upside
down and the bak
by the way from where I'm standing I'm
standing on top of a high bench that
there was no mus by um so hak office was
especially there was no musk
and uh I saw from down there people are
bringing in bottles and bottles
I figure they said to empty the bottles.
It's maybe like off whatever. I saw
bottles all different kind of whiskey
and drum buui and bent tea and s like
bottles flying in.
>> So there wasn't a lot of uh drinking
>> generally not from the you know cuz you
want to see you want to know what's
going on.
>> Yeah. But here I think it was a little
more because
>> Samus was quite I say the I mean they
always was always fail
and
but meas
was the last time I was here some
there's nothing like me
>> everybody talks about
>> everybody one of my wife's uncles tanam
film al tanam he said to me, I remember
hakafas from tshin dal. I said, I
remember the old years. There never was
hakafas like never. I mean, it's
remembering enough from
never was like some say that the reb I
couldn't notice from where I was
standing. Some say they brought down an
old kapat which the threads were coming
out like ready for work. All I remember
is the first night I don't remember too
much of the first night but the um
Rashag was complaining is was cold
always gave him the second
so this I was told later he was like
whatever uncomfortable aspic what does
he want
go upstairs I remember they're taking
him out during a niggan between races
And I felt bad for him as they're
slapping him out and the reb starts to
be the the crowd was going like wow.
And um
and this is the first time usually a
would be five, seven minutes.
Every was 10 15 minutes. The could not
keep up with the person felt it. There
was no kas and there was eyes were
burning. He was like looking to
everybody and like slapping out of you
the kas which you never knew you had.
It's like it was
it's unexplainable.
Now the place where I was standing in
later years I couldn't see the when he
danced in the middle and most I'd seen
the a few times dancing with Rashad.
Rashad he did have kayak later years you
know dance for a minute.
>> Yeah. Yeah, I read in one of the Z that
the Reb basically cut it short.
>> The Reb cut it short.
>> Yeah, it says like the like
>> the didn't want to be m whatever. It was
hard for it was very hard, very hard for
him.
>> And even the first time I remember I saw
Lamat Vavv his Rashag is dancing his
face is white and like almost like
catching his breath, you know.
>> Actually I heard from Rabbi Sodak he
said joining Kipper war they um by day
so the threw his talents over his face
and it was like fake. You see the rebels
is not in this world. It was like
and and could he tried to stop the reb
but there wasn't in this world. So this
two guys went and held Rashak to help
him go around
but generally it was very so the later
years it didn't bother me to I so I had
a place in the front so I would be able
to see the reb there. So I was standing
as a whole bleacher and I was at the
bottom of a bleacher but it was like and
the whole bleacher could all the way in
the front on the left side. We couldn't
see the reb in the middle. There was no
chance. So we're singing we're not see
you know don't see the suddenly one of
look looks
what so I see over there on the one side
and everybody's screaming the faces are
red scream all the
>> that's how it works the people that saw
>> and then
>> and then I suddenly see they all
[panting and laughter] catching their
breath and the other side they're red in
the face they're screaming
>> as it turns around
>> a minute minute and a half and then
they're turning around and see the was
holding
in his hand
his father's I don't remember exactly
but the officer there made us work hard
eyes like burning you know everybody
says there has blue eyes I never noticed
it but I mean there was like I remember
black I don't know there was eyes
burning
but not sharp like I [snorts] don't know
pulling pulling a kayak was like looking
at everybody
But the most which I can't forget is
after the seventh
and the came back instead of giving back
the I remember Kogan was telling
everybody tells me I'm wrong but I
remember uh Kogan you know from Lenigrad
>> which you just had feature article on
him this
so um so I remember he was standing
there to take the terra from the reba
and put it back in but the reba came
back to his place. Instead of giving the
cifhater, he went up with the cifhater
in his hand and he went up on his bimma
and the rebas
waited for the mashbakim whatever all
the guys on the reba to go down bend
down and the reb started.
I have never ever seen a dance like
that.
And there was jumping.
point I saw the reb's shoes in the air.
He was jumping so much jump. Okay. It
was a long time. I didn't look at the
clock but a long time this niggan and
there was just jumping and jumping and
jumping and
sa to all sides and people
then after the niggan was over so Kogan
reaches forward he wants to get the
label run get away get away cuz he saw
there wants to sing another niggan
started yet wasn't as much as
but still um Fre and then there would
take there and he gives such a kiss. I
never seen they were kissing anything. I
mean they were kissed film you don't see
it that much.
It was such a a I mean everybody who saw
it
>> you saw so you never seen a kiss in your
life. He kissed the tear
>> before with his mouth before he gave it
over to Kogan.
>> I I've never seen a kiss like that. It
brought tears to my eyes. I've never
seen anything like it. G such a kiss. It
was like you see the it was unbelievable
and it was
guys told me later I was in I wasn't
able to be here the guys told me if you
had to choose to be the last one that
was a good choice you know whatever
anyway
again amen
and
this year.
>> Amen.
