so we're learning the minor here
the
lahore malibi by the way the previous
rebbe said this mimer not only
not only uh in america in 1940 like i
told you yesterday in the history of the
mimer some of the history
but he said it i believe in 1936 as well
let me
let me explain
something to you that's
important for your
study of siddhis
the previous rebbe
wasn't well
wasn't healthy
his health you know began deteriorating
already
in the 1930s
we don't know exactly
what
it was for sure i mean there are
different opinions but
you know at times his speech was
sluggish
at times his walking was difficult and
then there were times when his speech
was excellent
and he walked fine
i interviewed someone who
who went with a cover with a friend in
1936 in vienna
to hear the rabbis
he later became a laboratory the family
name is feigl stuck
you might have come across them in your
travels
so he told me
i asked him
when you heard the mimer from the rebbe
was his clear speech he said as clear as
it could be and it was loud that you can
hear him
now
i'm sure there were 500 people in the
room
you know it was a smaller crowd but
regardless
so that's 1936 and we know by 1936
he already had issues uh
somewhat with his speech so it looks
like whatever the the issue was
there were better and worse times like
by by all of us with our health you know
in the 40s when the rabbit came to
america
he was already pretty much
wheelchair bound
if you compare
the two videos him getting off the boat
in 1929 and 1940 it's two different
people
in 1929 you see someone who's royal and
you know of course younger but
robust
walking
like with head up you know not head up
but you know
with power and you know you see a man
who seems you know very healthy and
remember
that's just two years after he was in
his imprisonment at 27 where they beat
him
don't ask
and they said i think he says himself in
his
writings that that was when they threw
him down the steps in those in moscow
and in that that prison which is iron
cast iron steps
i mean
i i try not to you know allow my mind to
to go there much because it's very
painful to to think of that but that's
what he writes
and nevertheless
nevertheless when he in 29 when he comes
to america he's like a spring chicken
at least outwardly
now take a look at him in the video 1940
you see that he's you know he he has
illness in him he's he's in a wheelchair
they have to help him get up
etc
then later in 1945
he had a a stroke and an additional
stroke and
his speech was very slurred and
you know and all that
so what did he do in the 40s when he
came to america and his health was
compromised
besides
several years i think this 1941 year
and 42
and maybe 45 a little bit
he
had the rebbe
and others who helped the rabbit to
prepare
my muram that he said
in russia in the 20s and 30s
he said take that mimer
and i will add a beginning and an end to
it
because his writing was fine
it was only his his speech and you know
that wasn't great but his writing was
fine which is also amazing
but again you know uh depending on what
the illness was
it impacted different parts of the body
i guess it didn't impact his writing or
at least not as bad
it looks like we have his handwriting
till the end and
it looks pretty good you know for
handwriting
so he had the rapper
he told the rapper which mimer
he should choose he's i set a minor in
in in in lenin in in moscow or in
leningrad or here or there
on this shabbos
or this weekday
this utes kisly
take that mimer
and i will prepare it and i will add a
beginning and an end
and that's what he did
and that that and that and then that
mimer
was
published for that particular day in the
1940s
now this mimer of the malibi
that ever actually said like i told you
it was monday night september 30th
i'm sorry 1940.
he actually said it there were people
there
but
what i'm sharing with you is that this
mime
exists by by all of the rabbi in other
words the concepts here are not new to
the frida kadaba
the way he puts it together is his
composition okay
but even that i think it's really a
mimer of 1936.
any questions
okay
uh it it's not it's not at all to you
know minimize the uh the legitimacy and
holiness of the mimer
of the 1940s but it's important to know
you know
the
what you know the composition and then
and how it was done and when it was done
for example remember i told you my
sheriff
basilagani right everyone learns
bastille gandhi for you trot right i've
come to my garden i've around you're
familiar with the bus of agani right
so
we say that that mimer
was was chosen by the previous rebel
for yutrat yuchafat was the yard side
officially of his grandmother
it happens to be that same year 1950
january 1950 the previous letter passes
away
so there was so that became the mimer to
learn every
york site of utrat and our rabbit
would say a whole mimer
on one chapter
of the 20 chapters in the mimer that the
previous rapper
had chosen for 1950 for four different
occasions
to put together four discourses that he
said
earlier
in the 20s
and and he
then put a date of 1950 on each one
so he wanted one mimer to be for his
grandmother's yard site he wanted one
mimer to be for his mother's yard site
he wanted one mimer to be for purim and
he wanted one mimer to be for his
father's yorkshire business
and guess what happens
he's not around to to for any of the
dates because he passes away
january 1950 you trot
but meanwhile
we had
for my morim that he wanted us to learn
for these four days
so he never said those my muram then
when did he say that
he said them in 1923.
at least the first one proposal which
has two
1923 parties boy
i'm partial but he said in my mind a
positive um impartial boy but x
which is from pasha's boy
and if you open up the book because we
have the book of my moral it's identical
to barcelona at least it looks identical
because that mimer
was set originally in 1923 you
understand
what did he change he changed the
opening line instead of bustling
he suggested
i'm sorry instead of saying he suggested
bustling
now you'll ask why
that
i don't know we don't know and
and unless the rebels the rebel hour
ever said that this is the reason
it remains a mystery
i mean we could we could you know we
could surmise and come up with
suggestions and ideas in other words why
would you you trot
learn a mirror from posh's
boy
you tried this before pasha's body
and instead you you he inserts the the
opening title of basiligani
and
simply speaking the reason is
because this was the end of his life
and the rebel was making a summation of
what life's about and and and and the
verse in shirashi
of basil
i come to my garden is kind of hey
this is what life's about
now there ever might have said what i
just said because i don't recall you
know
but it makes sense but you know but the
the previous could ever never said so
and so too the second cat opening the uh
verse how your chevy's begun him
for the second mimer in the continuum of
the two of the 20 chapters
is that sheriff's began him and then i
forget the next two openings for the my
moral but anyway that's i'm just showing
you that this style
was um
was a style used by the previous rabbit
i
my recollection is that the previous the
babachirabas did not
do that
as far as i know they didn't do it the
rev shop
and they were kind of fresh you
understand
they weren't
what some would say old material
reshaped or
reproduced
but khas washolum god forbid to say that
a mimer from for the past is old
because first of all
people don't know it second of all
people who learned it forgot and third
of all when when i read sadiq
says hasidis and this is important for
us to know
it means that
this is called
israel
the words of the living god that's
another name in another word
for hasidis yoni in the world of chabad
you might hear someone say did you learn
any dach i mean today's generation you
know
doesn't use such language but when i was
growing up
this was still part of the culture
because they still so many see them from
russia right
or for merchants row can't you from
russia came to throw and they would say
and that had a very very
significant
importance
what is that
that it's not just a good essay and it's
not just
a mystical writing it's divrei
it's words of the living god that's been
inserted in the throat and in the mouth
of the rib of the sadiq and he expresses
it
now again i'm not saying all khasi
didn't believe this and i'm not going to
go into it
you know yeah not but that's khabad
that's khabar's belief
so therefore
i could tell you growing up and here
listening to the rebels say a mimer
the feeling was and still is when i
learn a mimer
that whatever is relevant now in the
world and to me and to my family and
community and everything else
filters itself through the living eleven
that's relevant now that i'm learning
surely this was the belief when the reb
actually said the mimer in 1983 and 85
and 57 and 63 makes no difference
and that's the way we were raised by our
teachers
that in the my mahasidis and that's why
you all know probably and if not it's
good to know
that in 1951
the rebel wasn't saying my moran he was
for bringing and saying sikhs talks
explaining ideas in terror gavaldi so an
old closet of sender nemtsov
one second is sir
sender nemtsov
from manchester i believe
originally from russia from yep
he was the father-in-law of rabbi nissen
mandel who was the rebel secretary he
translated many works and took dictation
for the rapper's letters
so at the fabregan of yuchav the york
side the first york side of the previous
site ever he got up
and he said to everybody he said to the
rebbe in front of everybody about 200
people in the room or so
and he said the secret said in yiddish
but in english he said the secrets
the talks are excellent
great
but hasidim want to hear a mimer
why why did he say that and i was pretty
brave of him you know in front of
everybody
because he who i believe was born in
1870 according to my calculations
was around old labor
and rebels and everything else and
everyone knew what is khabad the my
mercedes
and howard eva wasn't saying my moral
so he went and he said he said it to the
rebels it says
it's your trot it's the first yard sight
he basically was saying it's time for
you to stand my heart
and guess what
after he sat down that ever started to
say the mimer busily
and that was
the official
that was the official
moment
when the rebbe accepted the leadership
of labavich as the seventh lubavitcher
that moment
what made it the mimer
so in other words the mimer in khabad
has the significance
of very different significance
so therefore why am i saying this
even if the previous endeavor took an
old mimer from the 1920s
and he had it reprinted with a new
heading and end
in in the 1940s it's the exact hasidis
that was necessary in 1940 so and so and
this and this day in this dispatcher yes
sir it's your turn
um i'm still unclear on the difference
between
a seeker and a migrant
was one
formally raped down was once spontaneous
what distinguishes
the seeker from the my work
okay good question
uh
by hour and ever
he prepared everything he prepared his
secrets that he was going to talk he
once said i spent eight hours shabbat
stay when he was explaining arashi he
he somehow came out he never spoke this
way he spent the last night seven eight
hours preparing one rashi talk
you imagine i can't imagine
seven eight hours to to explain properly
one rashi on the parsha so the rebbe
prepared and he also prepared which
mimer is going to say that means he
learnt it and then he decided how to
explain it and
and then
the belief is that
god goes through the mouth of the sadik
and the way it comes out is
it is sometimes not even the way he
prepared it that's the uniqueness of a
mimer a secret means conversation
so you have to
it's a good question you're asking but
you have to think of it this way
sikha is kind of the mundane
conversation
by a rebel and a mimer is the holy
conversation by adam although there is
no mundane conversation by adsonic but
nevertheless if you compare the secret
to the mimer the sequel's conversation
so in other words let's see what i'm
talking to you now about this is a
secret it's not a secret it's a talk
right it's a talk some caller of her
brain and some kind of talk but when we
learn the text here and we learn about
the two types of rhea of course it comes
out in speech but you hear clearly we're
talking about godly concepts
um
that's not sicha
so of
in in english we say you're speaking
with your mouth thank you i know i'm
speaking with my mouth but what's the
taken
what's the content of what i'm speaking
about it's
it's in a chabad we call that mimer
um any clearer or not yes sir
uh let me let me try and rephrase it and
tell me if i'm off base or if i'm on
target please so as the sikher
is is directly expounding an idea and a
concept on on a topic but
the my mark is a more
direct teaching of casitas
yes
and and cassidis
as you know
is
it's content it
says
i say it again it's a study of divinity
see this is not messily
i say this is not peer key office it's a
bad mistake
and people make the mistake because i
feel because because we're looking for
self-improvement
i mean i'm just finishing my book on
tanya on on mental health issues right
so i am using the tanya as a guide for
mental health
but that's i write in my introduction
that's not pure citizens
that's really
mental health issues and how we can find
suggestions that the author ever makes
in tanya for those issues but pure tanya
poor purchase is like you said i said
this was it
this is godliness
the only part of godliness is to be
mentally stable and not to be impatient
and not to get angry but that's not you
don't need citizens for that learn the
syllabus learn the muslims
learn how costay is in the rambam and
you'll be a fine match
is about god and making you godly it's a
whole different equation
so that's why that's why
meisha shared a story and i i asked
permission to share it then and i i just
want to it just comes up sometimes so
i'll i'll share it now
he said he was at a kiddish in ace code
shabbos
with a very good friend whose
father or father-in-law came in from
another part of the country from from
yerushalayim
and
he went over to to moisture and mushroom
was giving out machiams to people to you
know to get the crowd and you know
so he says are you a liberator he asks
really much you could say the story
yourself i don't have to repeat the
story but anyway maybe it's more
comfortable so he says are you a
laboratory
so he didn't answer right away
so you know i'm all above the chair you
know what i'm saying obviously if you
think i'm on the bottom of your little
bomber
and he says to him
he says to him
i'm i don't know if again the beginning
again i'm not going to be i'm not going
to be doing you just motion repeating it
exactly the way you told it to me but
from what i remember now
he said you know kind of uh i he was
about shuver growing up in in in one in
the united states and he was close to
khabad
and um because i can tell from the way
you give me out the alias or the way you
you know he did his uh he's got by there
and all that he said that i could tell
that you're alibaba habatnik
and and and and from and sebastian said
called me and said that i spoke
yesterday about how a traitor that a
person learns
makes an impact on the person that the
person
is displayed through their tater and the
same was siddhis
sidness of being divine
when you're in that mode
you conduct yourself in more of a divine
way so automatically being more divine
you don't want to be angry
and you want to be more charitable it's
all true
but that's that's a result
of the siddhas
not the mainstay of siddhis
in other words come let's learn siddhis
because when we learn hasidis you will
be be more you'll have more patience
that's nonsense no
you'll be more godly oh if you'll be
more godly
you'll be more patient you'll be less
angry you'd be more charitable
so
in summation uh is sir what you said is
correct
what you the the way you uh
discerned between a sikha and a miner is
correct also is sir just for your
knowledge you probably heard this tapes
or maybe you were by fabregan's i don't
know but when the rebbe said
he spoke in a conversation style like
you know he had his
his uh sing-song you know
you know like ravi salvation got his
sing song and i'm sure uh your your your
rapper has his sing song people have
their i have my sing song we all have
our sing song as we speak
when he said a mimer the sing-song
changed
and it was a different tone and a
different so for example that i would
say
is
is not the quote over there but i'm just
saying that sing song that sings song
you didn't find during the secret
during a talk yes maisha
would you say that the
it's on a higher level
okay
so
in the u.s outwardly the answer is yes
the pneumous no
and that i learned from my spirit of
yolkai
he taught us that
the rebels greatness was
to bring the deepest ideas of god
through the seeker because the
conversation and secrets for the average
man
whereas the mimer
you know like israel said before it's
kassidis you have to be plugged in
so someone that's not plugged in doesn't
even know the terminology is doesn't
unders you know it's like uh
right i see this brie like
when you learn and we've been learning
five years and we're learning and we're
talking you become a little more
comfortable hey with the terms be with
the ideas and the culture you know
but but so so outwardly motion
the mimer had
in the way it was said
the content of what was said the purpose
of it had the makings of it being more
holy to answer your question but rabiot
taught us
that the rabbit kind of
hid
disguised
the the essence of hashem and his
teachings and everything through
conversation and and and and
said this was our
by this laboratory but the seventh one
that we didn't see by any of the six
previous ones and that's true that i can
i can support historically
because because until the rebel shot the
fifth rabbit
we don't find any you know fabregas for
hours where they spoke extensively
that
introduced it it seems to me that the
the the one bringing a year but sorry
there were two for brenda's a year that
the baby should see them had you test
you test kiss live
and you'd kiss liv
yutas kisl was the girl of the balatanya
and you and your kids live is the ghoul
of the middle of rev the second rather
right because they both were in jail and
all that and what and what that
represents
and then you go through the rest of
their obeying
and although they were in jail and all
that but there was no
holiday made out of their ula
so it seems to me that that was really
the the celebration and if you compare
you'd to your test there's no comparison
so for example in 1924
rabbi uh
kramer mr kramer who came from russia
around the turn of the century
he writes and i have it i put him into
one of the books he writes we're going
to make asiya mashaas
and he says dhaka by us
[Applause]
that's what he says he means compared to
some of the other city groups with at
the time or from his knowledge in russia
they didn't really put an emphasis on
gamora we're going to finish
fitness shots you test kiss them he
wants everyone from the greater new york
area
to come to the scene
when you test kislif
uh official schnairsen the psychologist
psychiatrist
writes about how yuta's kiss of what was
in saratov ukraine i think
in the late 1880s
fascinating
it's in the hebrew you should read it
i think is the name of the safer
he gives a description there you there's
kisle that's fascinating so utah's
kislev was really
the day that was celebrated by the baba
jackson
starts for bringing two other days purim
asymptotic
okay three days a year we're for praying
that's it
the rest of the time we're learning
working
comes the previous rapper
and he starts for bringing more often
first of all he now has a new year
magilla youth based thomas when his life
was spared
and he was redeemed so that now falls
into the category of utes and youth
kislev redemption from jail
so now a hundred years
after his
ancestors
ullah we have a new york magoula and
frankly when the little
by them they add another holiday and by
us it gets less and less referring to
the fallout from um
from haskola et cetera
and when they came to one second when
they came to the brisker and they also
had a tying on the bavage with with you
based thomas he said you should
celebrate it
you should definitely celebrate it and
the question was when to celebrate it
because it was the year after he said
you should celebrate it that he made a
point of it yes yes sir
and so at the same time it sounds like
if i bring it
is a less formal
right
right the fabregan the fabregas was is
definitely less formal i once asked my
father-in-law he was from russia from
ukraine i i asked him what did you guys
do
he says
as as
you know
until we had to go to work
we just went to shu i said what did you
do we danced we ate arbors we had kasha
we said look i am and we danced and we
danced and we were happy for the day
that's it
you know i was expecting him excuse me i
was expecting him to say
you know uh we fought brained and said
my mora and i'm sure they they set up my
word you know they but you know what i'm
saying he pointed he he pointed out to
me
that
that uh
it was a celebratory happy day of just
being together so there's no question
that that the fabrega was it more
informal frankly the one who
kind of formalized fabregans was already
in in the early years 51 52 those years
during the hour
episode older see them with would
comment would make a it would speak
sometimes not interrupting his words but
in between and and the younger guys got
upset and they basically said no this is
not their inherits here is
you show him the lead
and it took some work and they basically
accomplished it was the the bakarim and
the yeshiva who kind of solidified this
style but this style was not a style
that was known by them looking to the
river shops fabregas in the safer called
torres show
you'll see this comments he said this
this one said this now naturally people
spoke
and thoughtful people you know i'm
saying elders and all that but
nevertheless you see they ask the
question he gives an answer
in our atmosphere praying is no one asks
questions
not turn to fablengine
i mean you would be
taken out
that wasn't but that took some time
but overall yes a fabregan
by hasidim for sure is more informal and
by the rabbeim it was more informal
compared to
a mimer again
asika was not said until
okay
the the previous level going on here i
have to go learn
the previous rabbit
said sikhs but different style it was
stories and history
however
the secrets consisted of tighter
insights into trader mostly
so the difference in the secrets
haven't i i have another year i forgot
about it so we'll catch up tomorrow okay
a nice upbringing today
take care bye
