so this is a fascinating story that i
heard last week
a viewer called me and told me this
story
this was rabbi kalman weinfeld
who's a rev in the shul in crown heights
and he's the the one of the rabbinic
coordinators for the
okay kosheros organization
in 1952
shane garten rabbit zodiac shane garten
was the wife of ruth shane
who had many yehidus in the
correspondence with the reb as an
educator and a social worker of kinds
of himself was a great talmud hohem he
had a shul
in his basement across the big boulevard
shul on 48th street between 15th and
16th avenue
in borough park and rapsodic could be
seen
on certain certain
clips sitting behind the rabbit
learned in kletsk i believe before the
war
and he knew a lot of the good islam and
he knew a lot of the rebels
and he became a laba hosted a plea
mistake
so in 1952 he was
this is the the language that he used
when he told the story to rabbi
weinfeld he was in ghana
and he was waiting his turn to go into
yahidis with the rebbe
and he heard crying coming from the room
bitter profuse
crying and tears
and then he heard the rebbe say to
whoever was in the room
in english why do you cry
there are waits for you a kingdom
on the shell on the
step going
from the room to the to the gane
the idea being it's right there your
your kingship your royalty
your kingdom is waiting for you
do what you need to do and you'll be a
king
and you'll have a tremendous following
and then the door opened up from yahidis
and a person walks out and the rebbe
repeats again
and rabbi schengarten heard this he
repeats guidance
remember
exact same words but this time the
rabbit
started with the word gedank remember
who walked out it was
down the bubble of the bubble
he came out of yahidis this is the story
the brotherhood at the time lived in the
west
side of manhattan and he had a small
minion
i heard from
robertson
[Music]
who told me that her husband and her
his brothers layma carl bach they were
twins
they helped in 1948
and those 49 those years they helped
make the minion many times by the baba
rabbi because it was a small crowd
and then they they they liked his nego
name and they started to come to his
malava malki's
and they really became close to him
so the west side was not his
it wasn't the people that were
sydney there weren't there were very few
in general in the west side in those
years
so he didn't find this place there
that's why in 1955
he moved to kran heights and he opened
up his shul and his yeshiva and he had a
mikvah
because there were many more of his
hasidim and people
who would participate
when he came to america in 1946 i think
i told you last week he had yakidas with
the freedom
and the friedrich and he was broken and
shattered he lost his wife he lost
children
he went through the holocaust and he was
a very broken person like
many other people including other rabbis
too
it's interesting that the only rebel in
a way that
had experience in europe in russia
with stalin yamakshama and then
had a had an experience on the holocaust
in 1939
and then came to america in 1940 was the
fleet of cadet
now why am i telling you this the frida
kareba was a mammoth
kind of an intermediary where he
had a taste of both horrors communism
stalinism and nazism
and then he miraculously was saved and
he comes to america
so early in 40. the rabbis that were
here the beyond the rebel
the captive
they all avoided like
the holocaust the frida kahn but did not
but he came here in 40. people who
started to come from europe
post holocaust 1945 46-47
identified with him then i'm talking
about hungarians
satmir then claire's see them
and the brotherhood himself related
to the frida kereb as a father figure
and i'm not only talking about the fact
that he wore his buddha
and he had this beautiful face and beard
that he looked so royal and so regal
and he fit the the the the mode of
of a polish hungarian hasidic
the frida krabi's heart his warmth
his fatherly love and mercy was what
drew
all these other hasidim to him
now i don't know this but i would think
that the rebbe
knew about the visit of the roof in 1946
to defeat the cadet
[Music]
only six years later in 1952
seemingly the baba vareba still
was going through a very difficult time
so he goes to seek
another father father figure out
who mind you was born in 1902 and the
blah blah was born 1907. he was only
five years older deb was five years
older
nevertheless he felt in this person
specifically that he wasn't hungarian he
wasn't polish and he wasn't got a galaxy
honor
he was a russian and he was a schneerson
and he was a rebel
he felt him to be another father figure
and that is why possibly he went to see
him in 1952
because he felt that abbott can relate
to his pain
and the rabbit did relate to his pain
that ebba's words why you crying was not
to
crush him or diminish him it was to
it was the following words after that
that there's a a kingdom
waiting for you shift your focus
from the negative to the positive and
you'll see what you can do for your for
see them and claudius roll and indeed
that's what happened
look it's 80 years later
70 years later or so and
the baba khasi this is blooming hashem
yes there's two groups and two rebbes
and we're not going to discuss that
right now i'll let you read about that
in my upcoming book
immediately but the fact is
that the rebbe's words of 1952
have been fulfilled a hundred fold
so here we are when we talk about such
at sadiq as the
rabbit of shlaine and we are
and we're looking to understand
how to take all the difficulties we've
had so far this year
to abolish them to eliminate them to
transform them
remember to focus on the good what
good has come out of this
pandemic what good can we find in the
negative it's interesting
in today's sheer tanya la skill khabino
igurus
yud alef that's daltereva's message
look for the good because it's only good
may hashem help that each and every one
of us
should go into shape as kaidosh with a
paradigm shift
of transforming negativity to positivity
and we should continue climbing the
ladder of truva
deshallow to be safer to the ghoulish
lemur because of mamish
