Ep. 2: The Rebbe's Mission with Rabbi Yosef Greenberg

The entire competition was give me a moment of the Reb, give me a a ko from the Reb, give me a a give me a nonb. That was the whole competition. People went to end the world just for to get that one moment for the cuz that one is is is there's nothing in the world like that. There's nothing there's nothing than that. There's nothing like that. >> I'm Yasi Cayman. Welcome to among an ongoing fabin about life as aid. Our vibrant connection with the Reb and inspired living shaped by the way he teaches us each and every day. Okay. Rabi Greenberg was hashem. How are you? Hashem, I got a report that uh Alaska this year was um the warmest winter. I know the Reb told you to unvan him in Alaska. I think uh you you did it already. >> The Reb told me more than once. No. >> Well, the Reb said it twice. The first time the Reb said it actually to Balabos, not to me directly. I mean, I was with the Balabos. I came with with a couple and she was Jewish and he was um convert and he converted in Khan Heights and there is a whole story I don't know if we should repeat that story um if you want to talk about that story there's a whole story about this Balabos which is an amazing um an amazing uh example of the Reb's vision 50 years ahead >> of the game I think you have to say it because I heard the story but I I don't understand the whole >> that story is amazing story because um here you have two bimulam who going to Alaska in 19 in 1970 to that was the first time the rebb sentim to Alaska and was trying to go to Alaska before that and the rebba didn't give permission could see everything is no he asked for said Now Kakov came out of the Reb's room and he said, "Lo is going to Alaska." The Reb gave permission and um and they went to Alaska and uh it's amazing. They were here for three weeks. One week in Anchorage in the big city, one week in Juno, one week in Fairbanks and they wrote to the Reb from those three weeks. And when you read the Duke today, 55 years later, it's like as if it was written today because they describe to the Reb what is the matter of Yiddish in Alaska. It's just unbelievable. Anyway, and um I wish I would have the D when I went on, but anyway, I didn't even know about this D. You know how it goes in Kabad that Bim went and they gave the d into me and it was laying somewhere in a in a And >> what's so important about the duk? What does it say in the d? >> So in the d they tell the rebba how they came to to Anchorage and they went to the Jewish center in Anchorage, the only Jewish center there was. And there was this this person, this Balabos, he was the the president of the temple. >> But he wasn't Jewish. >> He wasn't Jewish. His wife was Jewish cuz nobody else wanted to be the president cuz who wants the the pain to run to run the whole place. So he was the president of of that Jewish center. It wasn't even yet associated with a certain movement. It was just the place of Jews to come. And and what's interesting, what's unique about this because he was not Jewish, he opened the center for them. He said you could do whatever you want. You could put on film, do whatever you want. And the other balabos was Perry Green who opened the home for them. Now after a week in Anchorage they went to Fairbanks. This Balabos wrote to the Reb, beautiful letter, a tight letter and I have the letter in he writes to the Reb how impressed he was with the Bim, how they represent the values of Judaism, how proud he was with them and he wishes one day he could be part of this. And then he quotes to the Reb all kinds of lines from the Mishnas that you know that he knew that would represent the values of Jadim represented those values that they it was just an amazing letter thanking the Reb for sending them all the way from New York to Alaska. Now the Bim have no idea that he sent a letter to the Reb. They come back three weeks later from from Alaska to New York. Shulangam is a relative of of Binyamin Klein because he's from the same um Abishusman's family. Forgot exactly how but he's from the family. So Binyamin tells them come into the office. The Reb wrote something for you guys. So he comes into the office and shows him the envelope of this Balabos who wrote a letter to the Reb. And his name was a very strong non-Jewish name. His name was Erling Kushensson. >> Doesn't get more dangerous than that. >> And under his name, the Reb wrote one word, Yehoodi. So now they So says to to Biam, I will we will write to the Rebel report that he's not Jewish, but he wants to be Jewish and his wife is Jewish and has a Jewish child and so on and on. And then later they of course they wrote to the Rebel report. The Reb didn't say anything about this. That was the only thing that the Reb wrote about the old D, the old visit in Alaska. And then what was interesting is that 21 years later, this is Lammed Lammed. I was 5 years old. I'm finally going. We went here to to check out this place in the summer of Toshinon and the Reb gave us we we asked the Reb if we have in Seattle to go to Alaska and should we be should we look into it? Should we go to Alaska? And the Reb wrote and we asked the should we be the made a line a little line under the and label showed me the line and we knew that we going. So we went to we went to Alaska to check it out for a week. We came back and then eventually we went on like seven eight months later we went in and we come here this is only we came here like two days before por to Alaska. There was a poor party waiting for us and there was a whole the whole community was waiting and um the only person who said to me shalom was this Balabas and I saw something unusual with him because everyone said hi hi you know American the only person said shalom >> he said the words okay yeah >> he said the word shalom and I was like oh what is this all about and of course a few days later he said he came to my office he sat me down to my house and he said um he told me the whole life story how he was he's from Denmark and during the during the Holocaust he was a he was a sailor and he saw what the Nazis did to the Jews. He was so angry when he came to New York. He jumped the border. He said, "I'll never go back to Europe." And he started to hang out with some Jew with some, you know, Europeans and Jewish kids. And she was she was a she was a a daughter of a Orthodox rabbi who passed away young. She was a she was an orphan and um somehow they got involved and they got married and they ran away as far as they can from New York because the family was upset that he she married out and then they had a baby. He said to her, "Well, the baby is Jewish, so I'm going to become Jewish. We're going to raise the kids Jewish." And he started to study and he he had he's the only person that when I came to Alaska, he had a shas in English and a mission in English. even to get the Jewish press, they will read it from cover to cover and very he was a very knowledgeable person, very interesting person. And um so he sits me down and he tells me, you know, for 20 years I'm begging people to convert me and you're going to convert me. And I said, I just came, you know, yesterday from Yeshiva, I'm not converting anybody. Not happening. And he was like putting pressure on me every week after week after week. And finally um I called brother Milo and I told him the whole story and I said to him what should I do you know? So Milo said if he knows everything and he really wants it bring him I'll do the conversion. I don't even know if Milo ever did any conversions beside this conversion and we actually we we the conversion we made on on King you know the old Mika on Kingston and Montgomery then we do the conversion there if you remember that old Mika. So, so um going back to the story when I come to I come to New York, I come to to Sandy with this Balabos. By the way, there was a whole story related to that visit which maybe I'll tell you later with the Reb. So, but I wrote a Reb letter from the airport that I'm bringing the Balabos for for Sunday for dollars and that he's coming with me for the conversions. >> What you mean? What do you mean you wrote it from the airport? You fax it? >> I forgot. I forgot. I forgot. If I got to I forgot to write to the Reb before I left and I'm bringing him and I want I know I'm going to come for Shabas and I'm going to come for I'm going to come with him for I want to write to the Reb. So on the way either it was in Utah or it was in Minnesota we found a fax machine and I wrote to the Reb and this was a few weeks after the >> Mhm. >> So I'll come back to that story that the famous story you know. >> No I don't know but you >> I'll come back to anyway. So, so I come to to I've come to New York and I go on Kingston Avenue with Bella Buzz and Schmoozer comes by and he sees me and he looks at me. He knew I went to Alaska. Everyone know about it. >> N he looks at him. He says, "Oh my gosh, that's him." I said, "What do you mean that's him? What are you talking about? I had no idea what he's talking about." Oh my god, that's him. So, he takes me aside. He said, "Listen, he's the person the Reb wrote about him in 21 years ago. And now he's coming to the Rebel and he's becoming a full-fledged because he asked I kept I kept pushing him off. So he said I said I'm not doing conversion. Then I said to him we only do conversions in New York. So I'll find New York. I'll take the whole with me. So I didn't know what to do. So I said you know what I only do Kabad conversions. So he said what is a kabad? I said with a hat and I took I'll do it. So >> you weren't expecting that, huh? >> I didn't expect that. Of course not. And and finally and finally um so we we came to the Reb. So first so the that morning we came like a few days before Chavez. So I I I took him into 77 used to come those days every every day ding. So I put him with a beer with the beamer. When the river comes in the middle of >> the middle of sh came in I was hiding but I put him there himself and the reb came in and the river like looked him up up and down and then came by dollars. So the reb so so I came by and I told the rebba that he's that he is the person from Alaska that I brought here and uh and the reb said the reb responded with and then and then I said he helps after that I said he helps us a lot he really helps support the so the said in Yiddish he should continue supporting more and then when I finished what I said to The Reb, the Reb gave him a the Reb gave him a dollar and then the Reb turned to his wife and the Reb started all in English and the Sikh was then was um Alb said like this Alaska is very far from here. They pointed out very far like to denote that Alaska is very far from here and Alaska has a Alaska has a name or gives a cold attention but people hear them with Alaska. >> It calls attention. >> No, it gives it gives a cold attention. Ah okay. >> It makes people think of coldness. When you say the word Alaska you think of coldness. But the Reb said but to spread Yiddish kite you have to have a stronger temperature. Which meant that to live in Alaska you're in the homes you have to have a stronger temperature to live here. So when it comes to Yiddish kite don't think of coldness but the opposite to spreadshite even with stronger temperature with stronger vine. That was the first thing the Reba said the first time and we saw the Reb with this Balabos and that was in English and I've explained the message of Alaska to the world but the Reb's message of Alaska is to have a stronger temperature in order to overcome the the coldness that was the one thing and then later because of this balabos typically when you go on you don't come back three months later to 770 with your whole family >> you're not typical no >> and so but because of this story is that this story brought me to the rabb. So first we had a conversion and according to according to the ultimate >> according to a conversion yeah >> you have to wait three months between the conversion and the and the wedding. >> Okay. So typically today there are that with such a age with people he was already in the 60s that you could make it the day after but we did with Marlo we did it the real way the way the ultimate way so it took three months. So after three months we came back for his wedding and the entire family her whole family from New York came to the wedding because and they were all judges and lawyers and they were all secular and he the non-Jews become he's with getting married and they are all the Jews they are all the secular Jews they all came >> and we were supposed to have a beautiful in the in the in the yard between the 77 between the 770 and the library, you know, in the backyard in the courtyard where where usually the suk is. But that an hour before the we heard that the chief rabbi of Israel is coming to the Reb. The Reb is going to the library to this is this is this is yeah the Reb is going to to welcome him in his in his in his office in the library and not in the Reb's room because Reb's room had a bed. It couldn't couldn't accept guest. So we had to move the entire kopa and fold all the chairs because the reb is going to walk there and we went back to have the kopa in front of the reb's room you know >> so bish bash bish the reb had in his office and the entire anash and all the bim were there with a huge crowd we had at the time and we had the same exact time >> and you know the microphones are you hear the older and we and and all of the guests from New York came from family, all the secular Jews who all came and said, "Well, of course they all saw the old crowd." He told everyone came for this wedding and um and it was really and that Shabas before the wedding, we we went to the Reb to to get a battle of Mashk for the wedding and the wedding >> he went he went up or you went >> I went with him together. That was the only time I went for a battle of Mashk. You know, >> you made the made the announcement >> and actually it happened that Shabbat there were like 50 balash and there was like all and and it took time to get his B was he was in his 60s. He was not used to climbing a benches in 70. So it was took time to get him there but we finally got him there and the reb was almost to a point that was waiting for us but everyone already got and he's still shleapping taking him from from you know from table to table jumping people's heads till we got to to the but it was and the reba and then and then we also g by dollars that Sunday and and he gave the reba album from our activities and the reb said dying for the album and again the Reb gave us a very strong at that time. The Reb said to me that was a very special at the time the second time. Then the third time we went was the same year we went for because it was the and somehow we decided to go the whole family and we went for that was our heres. We didn't know why we decided to do it. We just were here the whole family twice already. What was there saying there's a fourth yard site, right? >> It was a fourth yard site and but I don't know we decided to go the whole family and this was the last time we saw the Reb before the ST and we went by the Reb and uh we didn't of course we had no Balabos with us. We didn't plan to you know to talk to the Reb or anything special but the Reb stopped us. When the reb is by dollars or by the Sunday >> by dollars by dollar by Sunday the reb stopped us and um and and there was every time we went with our children the rebba asked of every one of the children in Alaska Alaska and even asked and he gave a to my wife a very special and then we left already and behind us was was Jacobson um our cousin um Borl Jacobson's wife with his with Bor Jacobson's wife with his >> she's Rabov's daughter >> and and she and they had a they had a little child of Sheresh and they were behind us and and the Reb already started to give her a dollar and then the Reb stopped and the Reb like the way the Reb would turn and the Reb screamed loud because we were riding the Reb screamed loud. So we turn around, we ran back and the Reb smiled. The whole room filled up with the Reb smile and the Reb said we were standing frozen because like it was such an unusual uh it was like a real like like called Yi that day after after Dallas and he said to him, "Oh, the Reb is like Alaska has a special >> Yeah, I was about to say. There's something about Alaska that uh I mean it's always like is all over the world from Alaska. It's always part of the >> actually it's interesting that um you know that came out >> so there is the introduction to >> in the for some reason in English they wrote they wrote from El Paso to Anchorage that was the mia that ped a few ago that >> happens to be your brother's in but you know the the reb has a special co in in in >> but the the for there's a few ago on that very same page like a line after that where it says read the reb saw it >> and um so the reb to toim in the far far corners of the world and there's a very famous for where the reb talks about it in in length of of the famous story which muer the old story um so the rebuer >> the old story which mufer that he um was the was the head of the head of the bisk in Israel >> the and he was a member of our sh inbak he lived where I lived I grew up as a child with him and he was a one of the biggest >> he lived in all his life and he was a speaker he was he was one of the greatest speakers of kabad if in kabad events or out events he he was one of of in Israel and we grew up as children you know with him with his in his presence. So he always told the story about how infur to New York to be by the reb he couldn't go he couldn't go for t because t is when school starts and he has to do registration and the whole thing in the classrooms but what so anyway so he decided he'll he to go for he comes for he comes for he comes for calls him inov said to him you have a special from the what's the going to travel to Minnesota for purim. He came to the Reb for Purum. You're going to travel to Minnesota for Purim and then you'll meet Mashella and with him together you'll travel to to Iowa that little town in Iowa and there is a Jew there. There's a Russian Jew there who became F and he asked for that someone should come to read the migilla and he'll call all the Jews in ins Iowa to come to the Gilla reading. So you will read the migilla for that and you'll go with myella and you'll read the migilla my fellow will translate in English and he'll explain and he's like I came to New York to the rabbit the rabbi is sending me away to a little town and he went there and of course the said he went he went there and he said he was shocked because two Israelis walked over to him as they were married to non-Jews and um and there was a he he always says how they told him yes they're very into Judaism so I said they're into Jews or they into Judaism anyway and and and after that so he said every one of them was like intermarried there was nobody there was both of them were Jewish small community now there is a there Jacobson there is our campus city >> but it's even today it's a small town compared you know and anyway so so he comes he comes back so the next morning he had to fly back to New York so he had no minion you I had no minion to come to, you know, and he flies back to New York and um half a day. So he comes he comes to New York. It's already the afternoon. He didn't hear the migill yet. He goes to his brother's house in Williamsburg and someone read the migill for him and finally he ran to the Fabang. He came to he thinking himself the day why was I punished I came to New from Israel. You know those days to fly from Israel to you know what that meant to fly from Israel to New York. It's a big deal. It's huge. And I'm coming to the Reb. And the Reb sends me away to a little town. I mean, the Reb could have sent to Baham there, >> right? >> Me and my need to go to a little town, a little and then comes from after the Reb old and the Reb start explain that what spoke about that may that he had to show his in all the 27 countries. And and you have to and when when do we know that the is running the world? When you see it in every one of the 127 countries and that speak about about the in the small towns in the kat and the rabbit speak about the people could ask the question why put so much effort in going to small towns in eve where there is maybe one family three families when the same money the same energy you could do in a big city and affect more Jews beautiful have to give several answers. Reb says first of all in a big city there are all the Jews who could help them. So here because nobody else will go to the small town and there is if you heard about this town need you have to go you have to go and do it and then after all the explanations the says in a big city there are many managers who going to help him but in this place if not you who's going to help them then >> and then the end the reb says which seems like the ultimate answer the reb says that this is That year when the rebal in that year after the six day war the reb explained that that say inash one is that's one post and then there's another post of that it says that there be there be a which god will be ston so the reb said that the one apostle spoke speaks about what the aisha will do the bigish will waken up the nations of the world that's world war I world war ii that was the for after the six day war that was sp and then is about the six day war that what what happened during the six day war that many many Jews all over the world were awakened to So there says that when do you know that you're getting ready for Mashiach when when you deal with the and the >> when you those who are and when you deal with the then you know >> but the first but there were to to big cities no in the beginning >> of course Of course there was there was I mean the first was to Morocco which is in a certain you know in a certain way at the time when most Jews left Morocco as they were left with without everything. thought from Morocco was definitely a mochid to a certain degree. >> You see um >> want everywhere. No question about it. I saw this also as a hit from the Reb at least then I remember once um as I was in Miami they um I think I think I heard from Rabbi Shapiro from Shapiro that um they asked the about opening of the Ga and the Reb said I don't remember the lion but that tonight that there is no other yeshiva that exists already in Miami and there wasn't so that So you see this thing but there is one there already. Let's open up a place that doesn't have you know I think that's connected. So the Reb said at the end the Reb said at the end of that said to everyone said like this as it says the Reb said who has what to give and they will give to all the are sitting here and do not want to move and go out of here and go to and go to so will give them the to the and then the said all the and then he turned around and he showed him to stay in a big felt that the Reb said to him like even though he was aided from Bra who was always going to sh with a migill in his hand you know like the rebels to feel the feeling of being in a little town and and dealing with Jews are intermarried and giving being given there the that's the says when do you know the Messiah is coming when the when the when you start to deal with But you find them and you bring them back. >> I have a question. I think those years it's very about those years in the end of the you don't see it so much in the llamas. Why do you think? >> Well, it depends if >> I think in the mess when you're I think the Reb starts speaking it again a lot, right? What the what when the Reb spoke in my in my years for example when the Reb said when the was singing very strong and after that the Reb said what is the tellsum you're singing you should know what is go conquer every every corner in the world so the did start again to speak about in a in a very strong way in an unusual way from from the mems it started >> started speaking about >> right after after the after the immediately after a whole campaign a whole huge campaign of kabad established that was the the shabas started speaking about in a very strong way about the two and spoke one shabas about about the new step to build by building and the next is that we spoke about what is that the are with us that that's the goal. So the g you don't know why you don't have any from the upon him or something you think why the didn't speak about it so much in the laments >> well I don't know what does it mean so much the spoke the l the lb spoke more about which is another form of that's how the rebb got all involved in mim is all other form the tento that's where the got the so it's a It's another forum of that the Reb started in addition to the Reb like the Reb almost like took a new a new initiative how to mobilize every one of men, women and children into into the work of a >> by the way they when was speaking strong about also tied it in and it means but also the whole mitzvah was on making every home a kabad and every every that's in the mess. >> Yes. I'm saying even when the mess is speaking about he's making it applicable like the said you could be one of the says but then way gets into the whole >> he does the opposite speaking about the concept of negate to anybody to everybody in the end says those that are so >> and and you could and you could see it you could see that And if you if you familiar yourself with the work of the Reb that there were many many accomplishments that accomplished through people who were not >> I I saw there's a book I forgot what the book is called like it's like an encyclopedia of like about Judaism. I picked it up. I found it somewhere from the lammed and it has a so there's like a bunch of pages about labavich bunch of pictures of the rabbi those that were I forgot the name of it but I have it at home but um they have a list of all of the around the world there's a Dr. Lucans is on there. There's people that have worked in in that are that are on there like MK and there's this this representative that representative not necessarily I think today we it would be you know later the the greatest accomplishments major accomplishments for Kabad were done through people who did not you would never believe that they are connected to Lavage and they they they were able to be in such places that no Lubava and no was able to be that. The reb there are countless stories of people who have been in positions where they was spo for example I give you one example I want to I want to first tell you the story about my settle from that visit from I told you before >> so when I wrote to the from the airport that I'm going this was three weeks after the famous spoke about in 2000 Again at that time there was among to that all theim should write the rebel letter that they all accept the rebal >> and uh and of course we all signed and we were looking for ways what what we didn't know what the Reb meant with that. I remember I remember when I when when I heard about the sik there it was a surprise and uh my brother Schol was now in China called me you heard the I said what happened he said go listen to the >> so I ran to to call and >> you didn't have a you didn't have a >> I had a hookah but didn't have the ch at the time yet to call everyone because it was a surprise okay >> so so anyway either I was in a meeting I was in already >> so I I I listened to The I heard the I was the all night with my friends on the phone waiting till the morning till morning in New York which were me 6:00 in the morning but you 10:00 to see if the Reb came down to Davin because it was such a shock that >> you say you thought that the Reb that's it over >> I didn't know what to think because >> that you thought you you thought that >> I was afraid that the Reb is like making here major changes because >> like did and >> I'll tell you why because Because because five years before when I was ash >> there was a very similar to that was basically basically similar to that said that now is the time that he's going to give over from the the mission from the leader from theb to occur to the generation the generation and then nobody understood what it meant because it was a very long an hour and a half and many bu in about different science in the world and everything. Two weeks later, >> is that the same? >> What >> about the Adam bomb? The same pur. >> So, so two weeks later, the Reb started speaking in such a sharp way. Why nobody understood and nobody did anything. Nobody reacted to what he said to him. And the Reb spoke in very similar to the of >> and and but was about himself that why should he come downstairs and for with he could lock himself up in his room and he could better do better things learn for himself d for himself anyway doesn't affect anyone with this thing there's no results so when I heard that I was like I said oh my gosh who knows what's going to happen here and it's interesting so I thought the Reb is not going coming going down. When I heard the Reb is coming down, I went to sleep. And it's funny, I just saw a talle from the Reb that the Reb writes to someone. I just saw it a few weeks ago came out of settle and and someone wrote to the Reb that people are very confused and I'm very scared and this and the Reb said and oh it's um either it's either it's something that Rabbon Reb and the Reb said I came down the next day to Davin I continued everything. So the interesting was like a because I was literally afraid that the reb not come down and the reb said the words I came down the next morning to d. >> So what happened what happened to the you wrote you signed this letter about the >> so I wrote to the mush because we already I felt to myself if I if I signed it already. So when I'm writing the to the letter I have to write with that. >> Yeah. >> And when I came to I came to New York I didn't expect to get an answer. So I came to New York and Mesh Shabas I went into label Goner to arrange that we should go by dollars not with the regular line we should go the whole family together because I have a balos with his wife so Rabos was sitting in the office the label tells me I need to tell you something go out with me >> he didn't want to hear that so he comes out with me to another room and he says listen when the reb saw you settle he turn it over and he wrote down and will come let him you like when the Mashiah will come you dear like you you let him know >> so I was I was in total shock and I said to label me I'm not even involved what happened I know I could tell you stories from today to tomorrow but what happened was but now I'm not even involved >> you send me maybe you did things you shouldn't whatever the but now you're just you're just following the >> I'm like so said don't worry every one of the people involved got this so this week >> so >> but one second but there were people that wrote like that that the didn't uh write anything about it >> no he said this week that week >> so anyway so so later on so when I came but I was afraid the next morning to go to Dallas I didn't know what's going to happen with Dallas after such a like oh my god mame the in such an amazing way. So that's known. >> So that's what were the saying about uh why do I come down? What were the bakam saying then? >> Oh actually there was a very strong reaction to this um um very very strong reaction. When the Reb left the the Shaw, um we made an announcement a few and we spoke about it very strongly that um the old was still sitting at the top. Well, you you made an announcement what like >> like that we are so disappointed and we are have to do a noad to do to to to make what the reb wants and nobody is doing whatever wants like we were like and um and the next morning we made a novad with just came down from Israel made a miach >> that's the that's the mimos >> no no that's different >> that's a different what's before that that's a bad special for mashia in to bring mashia. The reb that we have to do things to bring. >> So anyway, so we went we went all over all the went all over the and we raised money at that time. We raised $10,000 with a lot of money. >> Lot of lot of money for Baka, young Bak. And um and of course we wrote a letter to the Reb and Moses signed the letter that we're going to make a new to the Mashia. And anyway, Kamu someone in didn't like it that it's already a second vad we are making. That's one thing the mim what's the story of the mimos? What's >> we'll come? We'll come to a second. Yeah. So, so, so they were they were very upset and um and they wrote to the Reban of course and it came out a very sharp settle from the Reban very sharp against that. The Reb said if you want to do things there are existing organizations just join the existing organization and help them but there is no need to do and the Reb wrote a line very interesting line you know every time when the Reb um the Reb comes up with in the there is the the Gilly in that old settle very sharp settle very very sharp settle that some part will show it to me that's how sharp it Um so one line was there an interesting line. The reb writes in 1987 this is like 37 years from the rebes The Reb is just starting to build in the future. You guys want to build. So says from making from taking away someone else's thing. You want to do it, do it the right way. But I took from it is the Reb he's building just like the Reb said to to to Prime Minister Netanyahu when he came to the Reb's house. When he came to the Reb, the Reb said to him, >> he said to the Reb, "Thank you for all the years that you helped me." >> Yeah. >> The Reb said to him, >> "I'm just now in the beginning." He thinks the Reb said, "I'm just in the beginning of my project." And he says to the Reb, I'm also in the beginning of my mission. And he said, I'm coming. I'm in the beginning of mission. I'm caught a person in the beginning of his mission. And the Reb kept saying, I'm just beginning now. >> Right. >> So the is just building this. I'm saying it's related to what's you know where we are now. >> So you're saying he's saying this is the this is the plan the whole time. >> That was the Reb's plan. It's to him he's starting. And the truth is anybody who had a to be by the reb I mean I had a to be with the reb like almost 10 years from when it was when I was a 17y old ber till I went to I was 26 I was like 10 years by the rebangans the reb everyan would come down with such a fire and would speak about a such a fire as if it's the first time he said it ever. I mean a a a person who was not involved in a fat like a a like a person from Khan Heights who just came from his job and came to probably his will turn because the Reb is speaking like it's the first time he's going to conquer the world wasn't like oh we worked already for 35 years now we could enjoy a little bit. One second. But I have I don't I don't I have a question this is cook now. Now now it's happening right now. How does that fit with the whole that I mean the way most people I mean I was alive but I was not with all my faculties but and my own family and many others. What do you mean nift whatever it was it was the end it was the height that that that's coming so there's no there's no no plan for 30 years >> you're saying it now >> well how does this fit >> I I'll tell you it's true it's true to a certain degree but it's not true meaning for example when I when I passed the rebba dollars and the rebb told me >> he didn't tell close the kabad house because mashia is coming in a second and you're left to sell the kabad house. >> He gave you a mission for a long time. >> He gave me a mission. So what does that mean? And not only to me like like for example when David came by to the dollars and he gave the after and he gave the an idea what was the idea the rebb should go to the d with all the from and the rebb reacted very strongly. Reb said, "I said that now it's I'm asking you for ideas. Don't give me ideas. You should find ideas what to do." And he was got scared and he said, "No, no, no. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it." And the Reb said, "I >> I met him once, by the way, and I spoke to him about this, but yeah, whatever. Keep it off record." Yeah. So the Reb said I don't mind people giving me ideas but says people are using the all those ideas to go to the way wanted to make a fast and have sist what do you mean epist to do is the reb's work that will bring mashia only that there's no other gimmicks but the the old and the old from what the meaning of the is really that means the saying 35 years I'm begging you to participate in my work of and to understand that each person must take upon himself the responsibility the to turn the the world upside down and bring Mashiach and that's the only way there's no shortcuts and the Reb said inshin that he wants to have everywhere in the world. There is no shortcuts here. >> One second. But one second. But the rabbit did say >> right from the said they didn't say before. Was that >> 100%. What what it means is just like you know the famous the famous line that that goes around that said that uh that um he said that he was there to see but he was not >> what does that mean when the when the reb started the day that was the new the said the said about that that means the started For example, the rebates of Mashiah open if all the go would come already. What does that mean? That means like this that there is the there is there is the potential of Msiah coming every day from the start and every year became more and more and not only that the process the process of BS has begun and the Reb spoke in Toshi noon about the connect the dots. You remember that ad in the New York Times with connecting the debts the simony. What does that mean? >> It was a mashiach, >> right? >> And like a tracing >> with connecting all the all the all the sea the fall of the behind that. >> So what's called the Kai foundation >> Kai foundation right and Rabnik sponsored that. Yeah. >> So, so this this whole idea meant that Mashiach is already we we already see the pulas of Mashiach in the world. The world is changing. So not when when we say Mashiach is coming it's not something that happens overnight. It's a process that's happening. Of course there will be the B of Mashia that will be the Gus but this generation and especially from the Reb started in such a strong way to speak about it and meant that that Mashiach the world is starting to change towards Mashiach like we see the last 30 years things that we never saw before in in in any level if it's I mean things today that happened happen in in our in our days that didn't happen before could not have happened Rabbi spoke also about worldly things, right? The fall of communism. Is is the world still progressing positively that way or >> Absolutely. Absolutely. You could see for example, let's talk about about >> Yeah. >> Okay. When the Reb said 50 years ago, I was a childh was when when Sadat came to Israel from the president of of and president of Egypt came to Israel the first time I was a kid in the Lud Shir. I was 13 years old. You have to understand that from the airport in Lud until the Israelis Jewish the Jewish people were standing in line to welcome him. There was a line of human from lud to line and our yeshiva came also out >> the yeshiva came. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> They didn't know that doesn't like this. >> Everyone knew >> the came. >> Yeah. Everyone we we we stood right outside the yeshiva. We didn't have to go anywhere. We won the main on the main road. >> It was like a human chain. A human chain. >> It was a human chain. It was such an excitement as as if Mashiah is coming. Why Jesus came to the world? I remember as a kid was in the in the synagogue and he was singing from the from the radio everyone and you were embarrassed to say that the reb is against the peace. You were embarrassed to say that because what do you mean? Mubarak wants to make peace with us. Why not? What's wrong? How can you how can you speak against that? And now fast forward 50 years. October 7. Now the whole world admits where do you think the weapon came in? From Egypt. >> From Egypt. Not only that, the the son of the president of Egypt, Aisi son. He is the one who made who made a certain tax certain amount of money on every shipment that came in the tunnels to Gaza. So Kilo the people who made peace with us are the people who brought all the weapon for us to kill us until today they are considered now there are many people who say that they are planning a war against Israel now cuz they broke every rule of the peace process and and it's all over the newspapers but it took 50 years but the reb saw 50 years ago it took 50 years for the whole world to admit it today from the turart to to shear from reform to the most orthodox everyone admits that the Reb's truth is the only truth. So this this is a part this a process of the of Giles to see the truth of that when people can see. So you're saying that if the says and everyone's feeling that is coming today should have come today because that's what the Reb says that every day doesn't come there's no beer at the same time Reb had a plan for the next 30 years I would call it like a back plan that the Reb had two plans and how what do I base it on there's a famous letter from the rebinud 19 in in 1952 the Reb writes a letter to Israel to Kabad everyone understands what Israel was in Tin B a little country just started off and the Reb is writing to Kabad the Reb said I have a plan I have a plan to conquer Israel to conquer Israel with >> that's the however I need to know if Anash and Israel are willing to join me or Not. And the Reb says, "If they're willing to join me, I could do my plan. If not, that means we are not yet and we'll have to wait for later." And then the Reb writes, then the Reb writes, I want to have an answer from every one of Anash to write in a closed envelope, in a closed letter that nobody else should see it and they shouldn't come complaining like the way they did before when they said there was a peer pressure. So when the rebanded from somebody why didn't you do what? So he said oh I'm not I'm not a real I signed it was still pressure >> from others >> you know everyone is signing should he say not sign is good. So the said this time I want a personal letter from each person are you willing to participate in my work or not and whoever is not going to answer the says you I I will count him as he doesn't want to. So you can't say I'm not answering. Either you answer say if it's a yes or it's a no. If you don't answer it's a no. And mamesh we could only imagine I mean when I was a bak when the kesh came to Israel. So the biggest the biggest accomplishment was >> all the from the you know Rabbi Galitzki Rabbi and their groups they came to Israel. The biggest everyone talked about there's a famous letter from the rabbi rabbi said the first priority is to be raonim can be raon there should be other and mosski was involved with with the chief rabbi to get them out of there you have to understand if if the anash would do whatever wants you could have made him all over Israel nobody wanted to be anywhere >> who wanted to be you could have alash in every city in Israelim you didn't have to beg in in the mems from chief rabbi to give you a position of could have conquered Israel could have every city in Israel every issue >> he's saying the rabbi says we're ready to bring mash now >> right still waiting is still waiting for us >> it's like the letter you know the letter that came out the letter that came out from the rebates I don't want to say the name doesn't matter the name the reb in in California and the Reb writes a whole letter to him and to Raishik two letters that came out. So one letter the Reb writes to him said I I heard a person came from from California saying that you and your wife are complaining there's no Jews which say there's no Jews in California Jews there's no Jews there's no money there's nothing to do you can't do anything and the only thing that you could do is you have a plan to buy a synagogue for $40,000 you have to understand Lavich passed away in tiny so there was a gir in Chicago who gave the $10,000 of the mortgage of 770 >> Robin Robinson >> Robinson here that little wants to wants the reb should give him $40,000 to build that to buy a shul in in in Los Angeles 770 doesn't have money for $10,000 for 770 after 10 years of 770 to buy a and so the reb gives him a old letter the reb gives him ideas this letter if we were hiding this letter because it's it's personal >> right >> but if we would see this letter 30 years ago the Reb gives ideas said to him you you are in Los Angeles it's now summer, make a day camp. The Balabat team will love to give you the kids. They have nothing to do with them after after the summer. Make a day camp. You could make money from it. You could become a leader. Then the Reb says to them, "There's a university. Go and offer yourself to be a lecturer onism. You speak English." Well, speak about rabbis who don't have they would love to use. Then the Reb says make make services forasher announce take our hotel room announce that you'll do with speeches in English and you'll have you'll sell seats you'll make money the Reb gives them ideas how and the end the Reb says but if you are not going to be happy to be in there's no point in you being a you know suffer and and bicker about it just come home so either you are taking it and you are happy with it if you're complaining We don't need it. The po came back. >> It took another another 20 years for the Rebunion 27 year. >> So the Reb So the Reb has a plan and the Reb's P need the Reb wants buyin from from >> Exactly. >> So I was discussing on a different conversation we had over here. I think that's what the Reb is saying that I'm I'm serious about this. This is literal. So do something do it that the means business and and therefore all the famous that the Reb said about the fourth level of where the is a responsible person on his own and he makes decisions on his own. It meant that you take it. Remember the Reb said and the Reb smiled. Reb said that uh about started a project said he doesn't want people to start writing him letters what to do and then said he's like that said I'm willing to go but even to jump into the water he didn't want he wanted them they should pick him up but they should throw him into the water the say come guy comes say I'm running to come but the reb should do everything for me the should pick me up the reb should tell me to do right or to the left says you take responsibility you figure out yourself and be happy with your work. >> At at a certain point in the first first few years, the Reb told people to go on. After a certain point, the never told anyone to go. You had to ask. >> Right. Right. And the and the Reb said clearly in the Reb said he's not going to say anymore what who to go and people will have to ask themselves and and they should want to go because the Reb wanted that people should feel partners in that that they that they that they feel the to go not that the Reb tells them to go and not that he goes only because he's going to get a compliment from the Reb that he the Reb wanted the people should buy into the idea what says what is the Reb's work in the world that you are that's that goes all all the way back to the famous when the Reb finally accepted >> the Reb accepted >> when saying when the Reb accepted it as a date >> as a as an official because the Reb you know the first three years >> you know no one knew that the Reb came to America came out and all of a sudden we we saw there is a letter from the Reb from the Fikb telling uh one of the lawyers who helped bring the Reb to America that today the Reb came to America that my my son-in-law came my daughter came to America and nobody knew about this nobody made a big deal even the was hiding it the right of >> didn't say a date of and nobody ever told him make a big date even though the Reb never made an official for on Tess but every time there was Shabas around Tess or Shabas he spoke about every time, but he never made a special date. Whatever the reason is, we don't know yet. But the Reb didn't >> never made a date of >> right. There wasn't like an official fab just uh we just we just published now a safer that it's come it's on the way now from from China a safer of all the goes through all of the dates the history what happened what happened on the date and also there's like um what the said about the date so there's how do you know what a date is how do we know how when we're compiling it whatever the spoke the spoke about We know it's a date of course the rabbis's brother we know it's a date because the spoke about it also >> right so the rebb didn't speak about in the early years and then came out and there was a young man from Israel his name was Rabbi Solomon and he went around 770 showing everyone the kesh and saying why we don't make a big deal about it but we still didn't do anything about it then the next year And if you think about it, it was like was like two days before the famous of the of the >> about the man. >> Yeah. But this was two days before. We we didn't even know about the meeting then. >> You had no idea that the whole was happening there. >> We knew there was a we knew ones that there was a meeting with Kabad. Nobody is allowed to know what it's about, but the Reb will speak about it in bas. That's all we know. >> Everyone knew that. Okay, >> that came out somehow because you know when seven people go into the Reb's room in Toshim hey for a meeting that didn't happen in many many years and a never was an active organization in that way >> having meetings with the Yeah. >> Yeah. So, so, so it was it it had to make waves. So, it became known but nobody knew what it is. But two days before with the Bim 770 was my first year as the Baham 770 we decided myself liberov and a few other we decided together that we are going to make a foren and when the reb came in uh to to my we decided we are going to sing a song at those days the reb used to come in upstairs there was no singing nothing >> there was it was still the waste of >> even when even when Zafi was there there was no singing only when he was Salman Jaffy even in the middle of the week he wouldn't sing. Only if there was a pag or something downstairs if there was a pag. Yeah. But >> singing for downstairs upstairs as >> Yeah. It was like the Reb comes in comes out. There was a very um I mean we'll later describe Min upstairs was very upstairs very very special. The Reb was sitting at that table. It's very unique. It's very special. But anyway, so so there so we decided what what what niggan do to we sing? Which should we sing for? We decid the same of because that became the became healthy. So this is the was redeemed from from the holocaust and was saved from that's I thought about anyway the Reb comes in and he started singing and you know it's it's seconds. The Reb comes out of his room and he gives duck to the keys. seconds. The Reb heard the singing. He came in, he made his hand. The Reb could have ignored us right away. I mean, it's like the Reb out of the ordinary. >> Yeah. It's middle out of nowhere and made it the hand very strongly. And uh that was enough for us. And that night was a fab. And you know how big the fora was sheni in upstairs. That's how big the fora was. And we fab all night. And the next day by M we sang and again maybe the hand and that was the beginning. And then >> the bakim or there was a big >> just the bakim >> and then tim um that this is the first year we decided to make a really big deal. We got together we are going to make a big fabangan a real big you know a huge event just like and it happened to be that that was shabas of shabas and it was also a yl it was 45 years from when the from theson came to America from a mish Friday afternoon I decided to make a chur and uh what was it chur was just a few letters for the FIB about the and also the Reb spoke to test order the year before a about the F coming to America but he connected it to the new that started in America not just about about the saving him you know about this so I took that I put it in and uh and the was a very special for the Reb and the Rebbitson for coming to America and we gave it into the Reb I ran upstairs to it was he had a print shop there from and he immediately immediately agreed and um and we worked together. We put those in. You had to put the letters, you know, it was not the computer. Everything was and we put the the and we printed. I came I gave it I gave it to to Mosquito. I gave it to give it to the Reb's room and I put it in the tables. So the old shabas was already you know beginning of a and then but if I bring it so we we gave in a bottle of mashk to label and we told label the miralik will come up for us the we're not going to go to the for this. So we asked miralik. So he said yeah no yeah yeah no he couldn't make up his mind then shabas by day he start to get cold feet he's not sure he's not sure maybe the reb will not be happy with that he's not sure >> the first the first the started all about >> because so always spoke about going out of of jail you know but here the reb took a turn because of the came out of Russia because he came out of Russia he came to America and then he started all sing about the coming to America it was very clear there was about this so Mak turn around us he said I'm going to go up no worries and then when he went up the famous story that he went up and he gave the battle and the reb to him to announce it so he had to announce what it is so he said that so we we invite all the mim to come toen in honor of the rebre come to America so the reb raised his and with a smile and he said is bas so he thought he thought meant that he should invite men and women to come. So he said again all invited. So they were very laughing and finally Yale told him that I meant so he stood up again and he said that the island invited the Reb and the Rebbits insh came to America was a big so we right away saw there's a huge Kov and then the Reb gave an answer every year but the Reb to speak officially about that he didn't speak about it was again Shabas and then the Reb spoke about it and the Reb started from with the Reb said that uh since it's already three years and uh it was already many many many have done this celebrated this day of even and we saw good and said it'll be it'll be a ham a big ham so so therefore the reb was accepted and it was done and it was good so the reb is going to speak about it started also bringing on this and one of The spoke about is that we spoke about just now about this whole idea what the Reb wanted from what the Reb meant in the meant spoke about what is the word is what is the what is the strength of what is gives and what is and they start to work with the is the day that ends of the end the gives you to start your work. So is gave you the and you start working you start to do something with and the said but everything is so is the day when the were sent to to check out Israel. So the reb all about this part said the famous question says if you want send if you don't want the as the question was used everything was commanded said if you want s if you don't like oh my god says something is not right here things didn't go right so why did he do it and then the said by Yeshua sent the again if failed what is he doing it again and the reb gave the answer which is a very very powerful answer but the old kind of said that was very very happy when the told him because it was a new till now it was commandment the first time says I want you to choose it and the reb there's two there's battle commandment you have to follow listen what me tell you and the but the most the very dear is that you choose it in theb said a similar thing that we should want and ask for not not because I said right so it's a >> the same >> so you're you're saying basically that said things that he already said just chose to say it clear it was shocking no there was a line that the reb never said >> that line is I know the line that I I did everything I can. >> Yeah. that >> that that line he never said and that I and I that I completed my work like I'm done that everything my mission is complete and now I need I need you as what's left is you have to jump in what you didn't do for 40 years you have to do now because you what you have to do. I can do for you. You have to do it. >> So you're saying in in in the lane is already the is already there in that. >> I mean to a certain degree of course I mean you didn't think that then. >> No nobody thought about it. Of course not. To us it was 100% sure 100% sure that gimmel towns will never happen. 100%. Never but because and and it's and it's an attack didn't happen because what whatever as the Reb explains in the famous the famous that you know the famous story brings from from the from the famous story the rebin about that that when all the Eden went to for for keeper only only a few Eden were left and they didn't have a tend to the minion and uh and then he then disappeared and then and then eventually he came by on his dream to the ro in the town and he said I was au I just couldn't handle to see the pain that you have no minion so I came the asked the question how could you minion all the it's very nice came but it's not there is you know like the way the rebin the rebb was doing a pin the rebb before these talks he didn't do a people asked him so you say the is here and there is a place for the and there is a sobb >> yeah so it's like there is I don't know so we have to do it so so the question is said and the same thing asked about they used to come every Friday night to to make kesh to his family. How could you be? It's all good and nice, but it's not an how could you? >> So the rabbi answer that question that when it comes to the nim they came to the world only for their generation only for their people. They didn't come for their mission is not for themselves and therefore when when they have mal they continue their mission there is a there is a separate reason why they needed to why their goof need to get to get another so but they are still continuing. So when they come in a goof they are part of the minions they are considered as if >> you you knew this giml >> what do you mean if I knew this? >> What are you telling me now? I'm saying this is you knew this right away or giml we were broken to pieces. We were in total shock and uh when we when I was in Alaska and I heard of gimlamos I took my own family. We were supposed to have a a day camp that that next Monday. We were supposed to have a day camp. It was our first day camp for our preschool. We left a a note on the door that we left to New York. Sorry. And we took the whole family went to the airport mat shabas. We bought tickets on the spot and we went the whole family to New York and we did not know if we will ever come back. We went to the airport. We were in total shock, total broken. We we had no we couldn't think the whole the whole flight to New York. I didn't eat anything. I didn't din I didn't do anything. I was like I was in total shock. And every airport we stopped in two airports. Every airport the all the screens all the television screens CNN were all about the Reb non-stop. Non-stop. There was no WhatsApp in those days. No cell phones. The the all the screens were the Reb. And I couldn't believe that the that the sun is shining and that people are eating in the plane. I just couldn't believe that that the world is still going on to us. The world stopped. And I came to New York. They told me, "Don't go to 770. The the Levi is already going to the oil." I came I went I the airport in a taxi. The entire the entire highway from Kennedy to to the oil was was blocked. You couldn't move. We were standing like an hour and a half. Couldn't move anywhere. It was packed with cars for all and Jews and from Jews and finally we made it. They they we couldn't go to with the cars. They wouldn't let any car in the all the exit to the we had to stop by the main by the main road. We had to walk all the way and I had a suitcase with me. There were two mut who who came to the funeral and they come over to me. They said to me, "I'll slap the suitcase for you." Cuz they saw I was like schleing. I had two children. My wife was we were like we were like mentioned. We didn't sleep the whole night cuz we were we were up already from the night before. We didn't know what's we heard the smoo already. The rumors were coming and uh we were just walking all the way up. I came there. We everything was locked up. You couldn't even go in. We were standing outside and u we were standing there and I must tell you there was a very um when I came finally to the oil when I was standing there I remember standing next to me we've all we all made ka and somehow there was like a little bit of a a feeling of the reb's presence that that gave us the to to all done I I don't know what it is and um I mean later that the moment when these talos there is the and the Reb's name was all over the world that day all over the news we spoke about the Reb's work about the and uh and then we I came in there was a line to go in everyone passed by the oil and then there are two options you could had one option to go behind the oil and sit there or go outside. So I went behind the oil and I sat there and then and then I stayed there for seven days. I stayed I stayed on there was no there was no there was no house. There was no tent. There was nothing. We were standing there under the trees. >> There was other bakim and there's other people there also. >> Yeah, there was a bunch of bim and people and no in the night there was a whole the whole night people came. First I was I was I was uh I was I was sitting somewhere next to the next next to the oil but then I was already three in the morning and people came out people and five people and it didn't look good. So I I moved backwards. Nobody should see us. People don't understand what what are you laying here anyway? So, so we were we were going back we went to back and we were staying there and I remember the next morning after after the stalkers someone came with a with a copy of the Reb's letter from that uh it's only and that's only so and the is really with us and not to be spo and I remember this was gave us a lot of and the >> you guys were talking to each other >> the next day we started talking to each other yeah And uh we were sitting there in groups, you know, and uh and we was there the the whole week uh sitting there and so we didn't know what um but uh but you know as uh as we sat there next to the we got the strength back and Shabas I went back to New York to Kits and there was a forbidden of all the on Shabas and >> some people some people stayed by the shabas. So yeah, I was supposed to stay with the shower there, but I was pressure on me that I should go back after seven days being there. And um so I went back and um and I was there and uh and were talking and uh and I remember my saying he said that u he saidim that the elidim had a hard time after his talas to move on to the next. So he said you know we theim we went to to to to mas to see Shiva theim the young was staying at the oil said so we made a mistake we have to go to the oil and that's when he understood he switched that it took him a week to understand that he has to he has to go to the you know that that's the place to go that's where the reb is and uh and then we went back and we had a big event for for a tribute for the Reb and so on and that gave us the to continue but this was you know we were sure that will never happen. You have to understand when you anybody who saw the Reb anybody who had to see the Reb and I saw the Reb the first time and I was 11 years old. Anybody who saw the Reb, you saw a presence that you knew that this is not human. You knew that what you're seeing is nonhuman and and everybody like when I was a little kid and I came the first time to the Reb and I was my my father used to go every year to the Reb and we had the Reb's pictures and everything. But when I saw Reb the first time was t-shirt of V. The first time I saw the Reb was like it's like I was in shock. In shock. >> How old are you? You >> I was 11 years old but I wasn't I wasn't probably a typical 11 but I was 11 years old. >> And I mean and I come from a you know from I saw the Reb. I was in shock. I couldn't believe it. And the whole month of Tish the Rebel like you know the the expression we go for the market the Rebel like like a like a vacuum. I was I was I was I was hypnotized to the Reb glue to the Reb. I you have no idea. I mean I was I couldn't and I was standing right behind the Reb. My father had a place in the first line behind the reb. father came every year >> most I mean some I mean in the early years he started then he started lamemed he didn't come in the beginning of year can I interrupt you for a second hold your thoughts I just I'm very curious your father didn't wasn't born right >> but he he seemed to have this like but he never even grew up with he came from Russia How that? >> Well, in two in in two words to say my father became aassid as a very young age at 13 years old. And and the reason why he became aid because when he ran away from the Holocaust with his family, the only place they were able to run away to be safe from the Nazis was to Tashkanta Samakand. And in those cities in in in those cities in Bebakistan in those cities the only organized Yiddish underground was so any Jew like my grand my grandfather was a fu he wasn't but he was a very dedicated Jew like he was a he was aid like a general he was a my question my question is how he became labavich there's the is more there's many stories like that there's more like that than Then then whatever. That's not my point. Not my question. My question is this uh this like deep cababal this is this >> because because he was a snashid my father. So when he was when he was in jail he was from the very few people who did not eat and he did not book on shabas. Most people couldn't stand the pressure. And my father was on. So when he went to the Reb the first time to for that tish the rebb said that all the Russian Jews should stand around him. So my father you could see the famous pictureki bringing a balabos to the reb this picture like a New York Times picture. There are three pictures there and each one of those pictures is like a painting. It's such an unusual picture and you see my father is standing between Bento and middle foot of us and he's standing literally one one foot away from the Reb like literally one person away from the Reb and you could see how he's watching the Reb that he became glued to the Reb. So you could see that he's and the first time he saw the Reb, he became a like fire but he was of the also in Russia without seeing the Reb just by learning from of the he had was Mashia and other people right right all the way there in in Tashk in all those were he was a kid who grew up on there and there he was but when the rabbis are saying that the at Paris. My father is one of those parents because he was at the lab in the Phil was already in America for was already in America and he grew up he grew up raised by and he became and he be and he had it was I always say about him aid that the was by him. Mhm. >> So because when you go through 8 years in jail and you go through my father went through you. So didn't speak to him at all. I didn't mean anything to him. So he wasn't exposed from anything anymore. >> Okay. >> The reboot. >> So let's go back to tough. >> Yeah. Literally I was um I was literally taken by the Reb's presence. Like I became aid. The Reb made me aid that second when I saw him the first time. I remember we came to New York was for and I was lucky that my uncle Hazan was a baka in 770 the in Rome Italy now lost his son um and um he he started all he created the whole empire of in Rome and he had made a kba. So anyway, so um when I came to New York, I was 11-year-old kid and he was my uncle Ber 770 and he came to the airport to pick us up and he brought us a 770 and first memory for 770 was all the bam standing outside green the grass beautiful grass outside and I asked where's the reb went home? was so disappointed the reb used to go home after m for for lunch with and they said don't worry the reb is coming back >> the reb went twice by lunch and by supper >> no used to go only by lunch and then at night is to go very late at night like uh you know go home didn't go home like supper >> no no such a thing only the used to come so in the summer is to go home at 12:00 at night in the in the winter used to go home after after like after after my about like 10:00 or something like that. But the Reb is to go in middle of the day in the summer to for for lunch after Mah a little bit after Mik sometimes 5:00 depends on the times but the Reb is to go once once one third day will go back home and come back to 7:70. So thatish went home after after Mina and we came and the Reb came back like an hour later and uh at those days the Reb used to come from 7 to 770 if it was middle of the Seder nobody was outside and even not the middle of Sedar the Reb used to come in and come out nobody was allowed to be in the old park so people used to hide by the behind the trees but nobody was allowed to be like in in front of the Reb. So the reb came, the reb's car came. We he was standing inside the door was open and came with the rebu came out. I went up the steps was only me and my father. There was nobody there. And as the reb came in, the reb took out money from his pocket like the reb stood so strong before the before the heart attack. The reb looked like mish like a king. The way he walked it was unbelievable. And he like reb has strong movements. He took out he like moved this little tok took out money from his pocket and he gave it to me in my hand and I felt the reb's finger you know get me like strong and he waited for me to give it to his doctor and then he started dying thank you and every day the Reb would give me da and say to me thank you. >> The Reb would say to you thank you. >> Yeah. Every day as if as if the Rebi would say thank you to every kid that he told him to give money to Zak. Because >> that was that was a seda then. They would say that the rebel thanked you for giving him for doing for him the of the mitzvah to give. >> So he would say >> by dollars by dollars you see the kids telling the dank. >> Yeah. No no no no. This was before I mean when I was a bo already you're right. When I was a ber when I came to seni gave his dera to everyone never said anything but when I was a kid said a dunk every time he gave us his da and and that t that t I became like I became the the brothers and of course the the highlight was the of course the was the highlight because because no typically the when you most times when a when a father came with a son they first speak to the parent and then speak to the children. It was the typical but there were exceptions, several exceptions and I was one of the exceptions when we went into so first we were in the beginning of the but to be starting from 8:00 p.m. and go all the way till 5 in the morning would have >> when you hear when you hear that would have 5 a.m. I think it was usually like time when there's so many people right that was >> even well even every 5 a.m. Yeah. Okay. >> 4 a.m. 5 a.m. Because we talk about in the laments already there was so many people wanted to go in. So no matter when it was it was packed. No matter when it was maybe in the youth there was short night but in the l there was no such a thing. And that when I was there was night after night after night all week all week if you wanted you had to stay until your appointment. >> Right. We we stay we stay but not because of that. My was tish but my father made the ticket longer. So so the was the of course the highlights but the entire tish I mean I could sit here all night to describe that t what I went to. So we went in. So first we were in the beginning because I was a little child. So they gave me the to be in the beginning when we standing in that line and all of a sudden says this that the person who was supposed to be and not didn't make it yet and if we have if it's okay with us to go in early so my father said sure my father was jumping always. So so some people were not I'm not ready yet. I'm not I didn't say because day you would go to the mikvah. You would fast all day. Even as a child I fasted and I put new clothes and everything is was like a you you prepared like the way prepares to day that's how we prepared for all day fasting and saying and dvening and going to the mikvah again before the by night the mik is used to be open everyone should be able to go to the mikvah before and and I could tell you when we went in I was so afraid there was such a reb The Reb's uh demeanor, the Reb's face, the Reb's eyes was such mal there was such a I was shaking till the Reb didn't start talking to me and I calm down. I was like and also >> that was when you looked at the that was like a feeling >> always >> whenever the reb was in in public if it's bringing or it was fis when when they used to say the reb gate >> there was announcement the reb gate it was a room >> there was like can you describe this a little bit what um >> but the reb's presence it's like it was like Uh, like I said, it's not when when you saw the Reb, you didn't see a a physical person. There was a like a shine, like a light that came with him, like a like a O that came with him, like a real pad was a real feeling of a loose that wasn't st it was like therefore no picture and no video could do justice to it because that's the real thing. When you saw the real thing, it's like standing by by here as the real thing. It's you can't it's not a video is is there are some good videos that really give over a little bit of that shine but the real thing it's it's beyond beyond words >> but it's a like means like afraid >> means physical afraid and spiritual afraid are and all together >> so it's not it's not like a like a y that's explained like that's like a covet it's like it's like a different feeling >> it's not are covered. It's more than that. It's er it's a real era. It was a real I remember. So that that's why Bakim at least maybe changed later but Bakim always was hiding from the >> Of course because when the Reb looked on you you >> why why did later some Bakim start sticking their face around the >> Because people wanted to see the Reb and there was no anymore and people want to have that closeness to the Reb. feeling of closeness. So when you when you stood close, you felt the looking at you. So you felt that that you know what I mean? So people, everybody, everyone in Lavage and everyone in the Jewish world wanted to have a piece of the Reb. The entire competition was give me a moment of the Reb, give me a a ko from the Reb, give me a a give me a non to the Reb. That was the whole competition. People went to end the world just for that one moment for the Reb cuz that one moment is is is there's nothing in the world like that. There's nothing there's nothing that m there's nothing like that. So people would do all life just for the get one smile from the because that one smile is more than anything. There's nothing in the universe that could compare to that. There's nothing no gold and no silver and nothing. So, so people, so we went into So, anyways, I was very afraid and as we walk in the Reb, the Reb buzzed, Reb had a buzz around his table. We hear the buzz and label run in and the Reb shows label the list and Reb says why there's a change in the list like and label explain that can make it and he left and then we gave the father gave the settle then I gave the settle then the start to me says can you say that you learn the day or yesterday or the or or the day before or or or before that and I closed my eyes. I was so scared because the bim prepared me because my uncle because he was a ber he brought me into among the bim. So I was I became within two days I became like a benb among among the bong. So I felt at home in 770 and the baham kept telling me the reb is going to test you and then they also there was a one question the reb ask all the children about how many cities there are and they told me what to answer they prepared me the question but they told me the is going to test you where to prepare and I was so scared you can't imagine I was scared from the I was scared was going to test me and after all I was just 11 years old anyway I went into the I went in and so The reba said it. I closed my eyes and I just thought what I'm going to say to the rebba and I was just came to my mind in the time in we learned two gears and one unit. So we learned the >> youab we had a very small weas. So I said the rebish mak was about about the about if someone if someone if someone if someone kills somebody what is his and uh and if he if he kiss goes to go if he gives me does miss whatever book the mission we learn and the reb start ask questions and one of the questions I remember the rebin in New York how do New book if someone will kill somebody what was it but there's no there's no bas and there's no golus and there's no there's no mikl and then the asked me one other question I didn't understand what I was asking the repeated again I didn't understand and the reb moved on and uh then the rebba said to me um reb said the first thing the said vers is th even though it said in the talle I think the so I was so nervous. So I said then the Reb said and I didn't understand what the Reb asked because what does that mean? >> Like how old you are? >> Yeah. But I didn't understand that. So my father explained so I said I'm 11 and the said is the name. So I said to the rebish this was three weeks after the rebu and you gave his docker and I didn't remember so I was silent in a second p says don't revenge shabas so you couldn't give us der like you couldn't give us d even if you wanted it >> and I was I was I was like oh my god thank god I didn't say anything so so the said shabas I Arab I didn't remember. So my father said to the my father meant to say that I used to get in the everyday. So probably I got that day also. So the Reb laughed like not didn't smile he laughed and he said >> only laughed like he was like laughing you know and then and then the Reb said um the Reb moved on and then the Reba asked the question how many cities do you have and I said let me basically saw that I had already answer And um but for some reason the rebba asked every child that question and then and then >> I heard that I heard that the I think it was I don't know if this might be wrong but I think um I think zev cat gave the citus the kiss. Yeah I don't maybe it's connect >> there could be a connector. There is also there is also something in that famous where the rabbi spoke about the cities. There is something about cities >> from the from the when the when the when the when the told the label. Yeah. So there is >> there is there is a line there about the cities. Whatever the interesting there is something about cities. Mhm. >> The cities helps you protects you from all kinds from not all kinds of sen. >> Mhm. >> So anyway, so there is something about the cities. Anyway, so then the reb then the Reb um Reb told me um the Reb said to me, the Reb gave me a dollar one to give here. No, the Reb asked me another question. Rabbi said to me, "Do you say tim do you say till I said to him?" So I was like, I was the head of the inabas in our father was running but I was running on my father. So to me it was like a question is asking me if I say kill him. So I said sure. So the rebba said he hadn't tug like me means the she tell him every day >> it's a whole different story I even say till him like shabas the ste you know shabas but the said so I I was I already said sure so I didn't know what to say so the said they are fine >> so you started >> yeah of course so I was they are fine so then so then the reb gave me a to give him and a dollar to give him and then the gave a long gave me and the rest I didn't remember was a long the questions I remember but the rest of the and then the not speaking to my father for a very long time we were a long time inside there was some there was one question that my the one thing my reb my father didn't understand I explained to my father what I said was like a I had a relative who didn't my father asked for him. So the Reb said he writes to me that means he was a teacher and my father didn't understand the said again and again. So I said to my father the Reb said that he was a teacher like a few little things there. The Reb looked at you when you said, >> "Yeah." And I when the Reb finished talking to me, I was trying to look the Reb's room. You know, I was a kid. There was curiosity. And as soon as I tried to move my eyes, the Rebel like had his eyes on me and he locked me up. And I was not I didn't remember nothing from the Reb's room. Only the Reb's eyes. Nothing. Barely. Maybe the table. That's it. When I came in after Gimlam, I didn't recognize the room. never remember the old room. I always >> I heard this from Kama Vakama that's the same thing that they came in Africa was the first time they saw the room. >> I push it and I was there for a very long time. I push it could even >> I heard I heard this even from somebody but he was involved medically after >> and he told me the same thing that today he sees things in he didn't notice and he spent hours there. >> Really? Wow. >> Yeah. Yeah, it's a it's a I mean even even even a simple thing like like you know 770 when the reb was in 770 or now when the reb is not there and I never understood what is it until I saw the reb was there it looked huge. >> Mhm. I come in after Gimmel Thomas it looks so small and I couldn't understand what is this and the Reb writes in when the Reb comes into apartment the 10 minutes the Reb is in the apartment the apartment looks so big the Reb the Reb's presence it was like a like a a ghilly air the Reb used to come in that everything looked like wow everything the Reb touched was wow everything much like I'll I'll never forget The Reb sent the keys to Yank that moment. That's the Reb sent the keys. The old 770 was like glued to that second to the Reb because the Reb did something which he never did. None of us ever saw it. And the way he did it, what we saw from the Reb's face coming that second was like anybody was there was a glue. like you you you you saw something unusual. I I still remember the Reb's face and how the Reb does like this and he and he sends it to him and I still remember the Reb's hand and the Reb's face and the Reb's lips when he did it. It was like because it's it's not st. So when you see that you're like you stand like in shock and the reb smiled the entire like for example when the reban >> the old 770 would drop silent how do we know that the reb usually before a story starts smiling a little smile on his face stop >> it's something you hear about the a lot that the rebba >> laughs at the thing or smile before he says it >> right and there was There was all of a sudden there was and the second because the rabb mostly didn't tell stories. So when the rabbi told the story they was like even even people who didn't listen to a word of the because they didn't understand they were too tired they didn't have a brain for this but a story from the reb they were like and and it was draft like even though the spoke it was quiet but there was a whole different quiet when the start telling story >> um back to the the whatever in the early years you listen to the said something that there's a certain that whatever that that that there's a tus you hear people laughing like if reacting to what the Reb is saying in the later years you barely hear it and if you hear it people are saying sh but but still when >> the mood changed >> right but still when there was something really really uh unique even in our years I mean not as much as earlier but but still the was like there was all of a sudden there was a chatter and like was like talking to each other like people will like would talk about what happened now like it took a moment till everything quiet down because it was like wow especially between the not in the middle of a it would be totally silent but in between the sikas if there was something like that that would say something loud I mean I remember for example when Rabbi Glasman's father came to 770 and he decided close to the end of the niggan he decided to sing a to sing a new niggan his niggan And the didn't know his and the was like trying to and the reb said help the other and then the reb looked down and it said because he realized that nobody is singing he quiet down. So those moments when this happened in the middle of the sikas between the sikas people would would chat with each other like >> you can you can hear it on the recording the says um they start singing I think he was sing but maybe he didn't sing it with the right tune or something so then start singing it says >> like half Yeah. But anyways, so going back to this uh to the um so this was the highlight but the entire tish entire t the reb was m of me such an amazing way like for example uh I was a little kid but for some reason there was only a you have to understand there were only six seven kids from Israel that seven kids was and the American kids the kiters didn't come middle of the week to 770 they had so we were sitting in 770 all day long we had nothing else to You didn't go to >> No, of course not. I came to I came to the Reb. So, I was sitting in the in 770. So, I saw the Reb coming and going nonstop all the time. I remember I'll give you a few little think things that Marshall one day I was standing in in I was standing in in Zal upstairs and my uncle with the Bim was sitting was not is not does not. So, they were sitting and ching on the on the on the Reb's table. you know the but the table where the Reb used to sit the B used to sit there >> upstairs so they were chatting and I was standing by the by the edge of the table near the door and I'm just listening to their jokes and whatever and all of a sudden I feel somebody's looking at me so I turn around I see the Reb is giving this duck and he's like looking in to see what the B are doing so I said the Reb is here and everyone jumped up and the Reb heard me say like he like like moved out like as fast as he can and like he disappeared. You know what I mean? So it's like such moments when you have with the reb like you know what I mean it's like you become like um within within days you you >> so when you were back when you back back at you're the only one that experienced the Reb amongst your friends. Mark's my friend. Yeah. Actually, uh, in my city, my hometown, there was never a child who traveled to the Reba before me. I was the first child my age. >> Your father didn't bring it. I think you're the you're not the oldest. >> The first I'm not the oldest, but before me, um, he never brought children to the Reba. I was the first child he brought to the Reba. And, and the people in my the elderly people could even understand that. First, it was very expensive in those days. And they couldn't figure out where my father gets the money to take not only to travel in cell but to take even a child. But then they would they would tell me when I came back the older people told me what did you understand there? What did you heard there? like they couldn't understand >> why did you why did your father took you your little kid to the reb has to go to the reb got to the reba and I remember how my friends I had only a very small group you know my friend mafa the one who made me and my friend iso from in Toronto I would I would like give over to them and I would even we would even imitate how it looks the we would make a table with a with a with a stand with a with a be we imitate because he never saw there was not even videos of the Reb at the time. The first video that Freigh took from the Reb and he came to Israel after that and started to show the videos there was no there's no movies from the Reb. So we never saw we only saw pictures that's all we never saw. So I explain I would I would tell him what's I was sitting in you know under the Reb's table when the Reb came to dance his aer and how the Reb took the children so seriously. You see how the Reb made the children that when the Reb would reb would hold this they would make with the head to the all the all the par the parameters of the >> all the bleaches and the same with the same it's not like to the children he just smiled with the same you know the way the Reb's face looked by a coffer by the Reb with the same atmos with the same gilluim with the same spirituality that he did to the to the he did to the to the kids with the same and I I still remember till today that is more than all the I saw after because here I was standing right next to the Reb because I was a child that was under the table and made such a big difference if he stood really close. >> Mhm. >> But you stood really close to the Reb. >> But you didn't go back to the Reba for years afterwards. Right. >> Right. until I was a bo and when I came to stay for for good because I was not one of those bim who knew how to raise money I knew how to how to make jobs and I was a battling so I didn't know how to do those things so I went and I when I was when I was >> your father your father brought other kids >> other kids what was when I was 16 16 and a half that's when I went to to New York >> but that itself was unusual to go 16 to to learn in New York no >> well yes my my older brother my brother Nafi did and my brother solic did it. So I followed their footsteps at 16. >> Yeah. >> This came from your father. Your father wanted >> my my probably my father encouraged that and uh but we all wanted that and it was our dream. My my uncle Hazan my father my father went to Meask who had a and he told me that he's going to be the guarantor that he will give back the money and my father sent them to to the rebes. where your father your father raised Shakazan. >> He didn't raise him but he was the uncle in the family. >> He was the influence and he sent them to New York. And then when we came we had reb my father was a big believer on going to the rabbi and being there the stay. Yeah. So you went al >> I went to I was in shima and um I remember the first >> what what 16 >> I was 16 and a half I was I was 16 and I almost miss >> I was I was in uh in Zal I was in Zal learning with my my cheer was galitzki and >> I understand so so whatever >> I was I was younger than no I was she g I was younger than the other kids. Yeah. >> You you jump >> because I came from Lud. So in Lud I already finished the Shikana. So you know >> I was already a year in I was already I was already I was already almost 17. So I was already a year inad. So you know so I was a one year inhiv and then I went then I went to from Giml I went to to Seattle then two years >> and then and then when you came back you already >> yeah I was 20 I was already beginning 20 >> and everything shifted because I'm saying it's Well, yeah. But before before this, there was a good portion of Tshime, which was an amazing an amazing amazing year. And uh Topshimme was still the Fabrangians and the Reb, the Mina and the whole was still like in the mess in the laments and it changed with a with a court case. >> What do you mean? >> Many many things have changed later. Um it was still like um like uh there was a there was a sense of peace and and joy you know that we saw from the Reba and the old 770 was a different 770 like this the swore took Loabage with a storm and it changed Labavage forever. the story of this forum that the dan not and it did change because the all the dan was about the future we didn't understand it then we didn't understand why the reb is investing so much in it why the reb is taking it so hard to hurt so much you know why it's worth it why it's so much worth it to to uproot entire labavage for this forum like what's what's what's happening today years later when we listen to the sikas and we see the but the reaction at that time we just felt that that there is a there is a fight there is a kung against the reb there is a a position to the which is a position and we have to fight it and we have to win it and we won we didn't understand the real application what really it meant what like just like I said before that the like to that the reb was 50 years ahead of the entire of everyone Even with this forum, the Reb was way ahead every one of us, we didn't understand what's behind it. Like we see, you see now the Reb's moves, every move the Reb like I said a story about this this Jew in Alaska that the Reb sees 50 years ahead what's going to be with him and and what's going to play out. We little people don't see it. So when the Reb says Mashiah is coming today and the Reb means that that that now he's planting the seeds for the coming Mashiach and it's going to come. This is the process to bring. So you're saying so you're saying the the like the brought out like not just for then but for for for >> right in other words the happened because of the preparation for the future that itself >> it needed it needed it needed to happen >> needed to happen because it doesn't make any sense why it happened then it doesn't the I mean you know from a logical point of view the the the the nephew should have come and demand the books in the youths >> when he had when he had the balabatim on his side the balabatim from the yeshiva when he had >> say it came out of left field >> it's what 25 years later you come asking for it what happened but the was it needed to happen there is a famous m from the from where the Reb speaks about the that the famous Moshul that a king that he that he when he when he's the all the all the treasures that his parents and his grandparents had and he doesn't show it to them but when there is a war is and then the Reb says and if that's not enough what else is the king willing to do that he's willing to give is willing to give his life away. The Reb says that the king is willing to give his why because what is the real of the king? What is the real life of the king? What is the real of the king is that his will his mission should be fulfilled. So the king is willing to go to war in order to win the war. Even if he gives away his glue in order that should be his is real should be in the sky. So we when you listen to that to that you must hear from the Reb what's going to be the Reb says clearly that the king is willing to go all the way and give away his in order that his will should be his and and you could see the poem the Reb was begging people to go on was saying after and when really was the pre when was really the real storm of began That's what I said before about the when when is the that when that what is the ultimate but you do it because you want to do it and the said then said that it's such a that people should have the the the ability to choose that even if you make a mistake it's worth Even if the will mess up, it's still worth it because the nobody could do it for you. Only if you could do itb the ultimate is that we that we choose to do it. So theb gave us a newb starting a new and what is the new abs that when it started when is the true started only when were not there only by so I'm going to say I'm because I'm thinking I'm thinking to what the way you're describing what it means to be in the he always write in the presence like a language you always in the Reb's presence and for me I mean I I I wish I mean I I saw the etc but I I wish that I can have that feeling and I obviously like writes that if you have to listen to those that talk about it and you can have some type of feeling and I I've experienced that also but you're saying something deeper I think that in order to bring in order to the it's going to be in such a mat of now like you're saying over >> I mean the the famous line the rebs the famous line the said that this this could that everyone thought after it's over. what's going to be and it's the true opposite that Dava I still remember the interview that that Pak had on CNN right was right before Dutanos few >> and and the interviewer was also a Jew I forgot his name a famous >> Ted Ted Kappel >> Ted Cap that's why >> it was night line Ted Kapp night and Ted CP is asking Potak what's unique about the Reb >> and Kim Pak says It's impossible to explain it. You have to you only if you saw it, you understand it. And then he said, I'll just give you a little example. I was afraid to be alone with him in the same room because I'm afraid I'll I'll not be any more objective. >> He didn't want to go. >> Yeah. And when you see the video from you, see how when the Reb speaks about him, how he takes his eyes tells me as he use his influence of writing for and he had like a so he's like he's stroking his beard and and the reason for bringing him before that I feel before that when he came to the first time and the Reb said and he says to the Reb, I learned in he's like he's like he felt the need to tell the Reb I learned Nisha he was a reformed rabbi but he tells rabbi lisha you could see that he was miser there in such an amazing way in the present that later by the second time he came to the bank and he didn't want to come over to say and to he was afraid to go because he'll lose his objectivity he he felt the reb and he tells that couple he says that if you didn't see it you don't I can't explain it but I could tell you I was afraid to be with him in the same room that I would not be objective anymore that he felt that the of the and he was a yeshiva kid. So why you mentioning this >> that what to what extent the rebay is to what extent that even a reformed Jew and a writer reformed rabbi who wrote books and everything he when he was in the Reb's presence he he felt that >> so what do you say what are you saying after >> it mean it means to say that that the true could not be fulfilled >> when were there because it was such a that affected everyone so when you went to you went because the Reb wanted you to go, not because you really understood what it is it's all about. But the Reb was saying that the ultimate of must be that we should want to do it that we should choose that the Reb wanted to see a generation of who choose the Reb who choose who choose the who choose the >> and I think I think you see it it's still happening now happened right but I'm saying just right now passed away just just now saying you see people there's like a certain I told a few people that I was speaking to that there's certain like changing of the guard ever saw the changing of the guard in the the palace in can I see it in England I saw it in Canada they come in the old the old the old old group leaves and the new group is there right away so us me and you and everyone else it's not there's a heick It's a direct ham. It's different people and it's da the right and >> no but the reason is another here that the reb is here now stronger than before even though that we don't see the reb's presence. So that's that's I was going to ask you because at the end of the day you can say okay fine it's deeper it's right the says but but but but you see but because because you know then the whole mo 90% 80% of was hanging on to this and now you could go there you could go there you could be here you could you could be in it you cannot be in it so it's a it's a so so >> it from one hand it seems seems harder. It seems harder, but in truth it's much more easier than even was before. >> Right? >> That's in truth. >> Because because we see that it's like whenever the takes one thing away, he gives another thing. Whenever the Reb takes one thing away, he gives something else. Like we see it about blind people that they have a very special in in in hearing things and smelling things. Because we don't see the Reb physically, the pel mamesh, the reb's presence is much more big in us in a way that if we only choose to do the right thing. You get such such and such push from the reb that you never saw before. Gims. So for example, I always give the example about my daughter wearing mushikas to to Zambia. that that typical when they come to a place it takes them a 10 years 20 years to have a building she came to Zambia she already had a balabos waiting for her giving her a house and want to give her a whole campus those things didn't happen 50 years ago didn't happen 30 years ago such a thing such things didn't happen the same thing happened now in Fairbanks with the went to Fairbanks that Abalabos bought him a building before he even set foot in Fairbanks Those things didn't happen times. And there's also there's also another of the relationship of relationship that today if you're plugged in and if you and if you have the slave and care about it and you're you probably know and understand the more than people did that were standing by because because the mount that you read the mount that you watched and the mount that saying pe people tell me when they read the let's say the I heard from an older probably your age. He told me I read the what I like about it is because I I read things that I stood by the I was at and I didn't realize that I that that it happened and I read it. So I'm learn I'm learn I'm learning what happened when I what I I'm learning what about what I saw. So it's a it's a >> I mean obviously obviously it's a obviously that uh it's a it's a very very uh there there's no there's no need to say that how broken we are that we don't have the reba here with us. That's the obvious. obviously that we are very broken. Obviously that we are very uh missing the Reb, very empty without the Reb. No question about it. There's no need to say that. But the Reb is being the Reb at the end of the day. He makes decisions. He is the Reb. He makes the decisions what's going to be and how it's going to be. And he made that decision. So we need to accept the decision and and and see that if the Reb made the decision it must be that that's for the good of the generation and for the good of the entire Jewish world and for the good of the future Mashiach that's the Hashem that's the that's the says that the mel is going to be says like maybe seven or eight times in repeats it that he gives away the for that So if the Reb says that that's what the Melik needs to do to to win the war of being Mashiach, everyone has to everyone understands that to bring Mashiach means that the entire universe will change. The entire world will change. This is not a simple thing being Mashiach. So so if we we don't and we don't know anything about Mashiach. Well, what do we know? We are simple people. Flesh can mention what do we know about Mashiach? And and when the Rebi is telling us this is the day being Mashia. So the 3,000 years from Martin from three 3,300 years the entire Jewish world is waiting for Mashiach and this is our generation. It's our Reb and we are the people who are charged with that mission to bring Mashiach. I mean this is like crazy stuff. This is not a simple thing. We are we are talking about world the greatest world event ever. So, so obviously that that that things unusual are happening. So this the fact that there was a gimmos and the fact that that that the rebi and there was no as the rebba said in New York times to to to Israel shanker in tough shaman based in 197 1972 shashim he asked the rebba what's going to be the future he said to the reb you and everyone could look it up in the york times it's online he said to the rebel you and the and the reb have children who is going to be the eighth reb and the rebb gives four answers the rebre says firstb starts I have I have plans to live many more years. Then the Reb says that um we should leave the war is for Mashiach and we and the word we should leave for Mashiach. >> And then the Reb says he continues and he says that um that um that that that why and why why should we push him off for why should we push him off Mashiach for tomorrow? He could come today. And then the Reb says there is a great deal of work to be done more than 120 years of one person. And we are now right after the 120 years of the Reb. We're 123 and we see what happened in the last 30 years. You see the Reb said there is a great deal to work of work. The Reb saw this old plan. The Reb needed to have a in every city in every pinam and it's finally being fulfilled. Theb said the said is not it's not a party said >> right it's going to be for and finally we see that finally we see that are starting to now we see that everybody I mean we had a reformed rabbi my son-in-law tells me a few years ago he went to a funeral the reform had here and he led the funeral from a print out of kabad.org I mean this is like we are reaching just two three years ago I was doing the corona I think for three four years ago an onra kipper the night the the the day of yum kipper the night the day before kitoim kipper there was in the reformed temple here in ank on the Facebook there was a picture of the reb with a quote from the reb >> I mean for the reformed temple a picture of the reb and z and z the temple put it up >> I mean this is like things that you couldn't even imagine three years ago. If someone if someone would tell me three years ago that the reformed temple in Anchorage would have a quote with a picture of the Reb Facebook Arabium Kipper the day when they all come to when the biggest day in the temple when everyone comes to Kidra they should have a quote from the Reb with a picture of the Reb. I would tell you that you're crazy. You're out of your mind. It will never happen. So what what what do you say first of all anyone that's listening to our conversation and there's a ber I think it's very clear like the says that is to be to be part of the mission and go what do you say to many many people that were not yet to to be like we said before official how are they part of the Debb's mission of bringing Mashiah >> if you're not ach >> I was I was I was mocked that anyone that's listening to this obviously understands that the MS had isn't and if they're or unmarried girl the it's time to make to do it for the future but if you're not >> the answer is very simple the Reb the Reb created for that. The Reb created tank for that. The Reb created the entire the the by the Reb there was never such a concept that if you're not a you are you are off you could do whatever you want. You you you are out of you you're not part of the mission. I mean it's like when when I grew up in in in Benbagen as a as a little kid right in the laments every every purim every Kaneka they were going a bus from Anash from Arsh would go travel to the to to the to to the Mnot Sabah to the to the basis of the of the army of the of the military to bring to read the migill to to the soldiers to bring to bring to bring um purim pim to migilland Kanek light candles and every y I remember as a little kid the of he was with he lived in he would go with my father with two other we would go to the to the biggest hospital in Israel telles which is right near right near Ben we would travel there with his car was the driver and we all slept thousands of matzas in bags all made in bags already and we go from room to room and give out matz to every patient. I mean what does that mean? There is there is so much work to be done could only reach to a few hundred people. That's it. How much leave in Kites? Let's take an example. There are how many we have in Manhattan? Let's say 10. Let's say 10. There are three million Jews in Manhattan. Two million Jews in Manhattan. Is it possible for for the 10 kabad to reach even 30% of those Jews? It's impossible. We for that we have our old K heights. Every Jew in Kits is is the rebu is mobilized to work to the Reb's work. It comes Friday, you have to go with time. And if you're about boss, you don't have to go in Somalia Friday. M every day you go to work, you go a half an hour earlier or you or you go doing lunchtime and you go all the office around you and you put on film with and and you and and you become the of in at your work everywhere you take them to the you take you invite them to your house for Shabas. What what does that mean? There is so much work to be done. It's it's it's the old concept if if I'm not a I cannot do the Reb's work. It's crazy. You fly to Israel, you go on the plane, you put on film with Eden, you tell Eden to go to the there is so much work to be done. When I was when I was in Gman in Kan Heights before I before I went to I wrote the the book about the rebes. >> Yeah. Can you talk about that? Why did you write the >> Sure. Sure. I'm coming there. So, so I used to have a class of of of a group of Israelis who would come to my home and we'd have a class once a week or I'd go to their homes and then then I took them to the Reb to Dallas and and >> you were killing them. >> I it was it was right after before I went and and I and I and I I gave Shur I took them to the Reb. Two of them had children because of that. Now they're big supporters of Kabalas is their cities where they are. um shinon was a parade. I took them I I passed by the Reb because I wanted to see the Reb and uh and uh even though even though I was not part of the groups and I was the last group and I asked Shan Bam, can I go? He said go. So I started to go with them and and and Yank is asking on the microphone who is this group and I felt bad because I didn't tell the I I didn't get official permission. So let me but I want my my Eden to see the Reb. And we banned by and I told him all to look to the Reb. And you saw the lately what Mashin said about the parade. You saw that announcement he made from the youths made announcement that every bakar has to help with the parade. And he said and every said what is a parade? What is the purpose of the parade? All the Jewish children in the yoke should have opportunity to see the reb. It says so he said >> when the seadic sees that Eid poa that he he heals the the wound that that's the mission of what is the parade that a little kid was not religious should s should see a reb and that will stay with him for the rest of his life. I was walking home. I went to Sham Zaka here in Stamford. And I was walking home with the uncle, not the not the uncle of the uncle of the whatever the baby, the the uncle of the father. We live near each other. So I was walking home with him talking about the I was about in the 60s. Yeah. I saw the Yeah. It's it's >> not he's not the first person I met like that. >> I'll tell you in a minute a story about a gid that told me what he saw the Reb. I'll tell him a minute. Go, go ahead. >> No, no, I finished them. >> Okay. So, because you asked me about so we'll talk about >> Oh, yeah. I want I want to know. So, you made you write you write a book about the first year of became lean and the whole story which is a accomplishment. Tasha working. Yeah. >> Why do you decided to work on this book? Like how where does that come from? So the real story is that when I was a little kid, I read the old Sephraatildas and I was really uh I knew the old Sephildas and um and the Sephratildas starts the alterbain and goes till the FB and then the FIB what is the last chapter the and the what was the chapter by the it's actually a letter that wrote from America to Israel this B's name was Dubinski Dubinski's son. >> He model Dinsky. He wrote the letter. So, so took that letter. Can I show it? And he printed it. And when I read the letter, it's I saw it's missing a lot of important pieces. It just it's doesn't sound right. >> So, for it doesn't sound that there's enough information on what really happened there. >> You're saying just reading the letter as being a writer I felt that a lot of holes there's a lot of holes in that letter meaning that I don't you don't see um the reb's presence in the letter in the in the funeral in the the whole in there so I knew that something is missing him I mean he wrote just his personal perspective what he felt needed to write to his father he didn't think about anyway So later on when I worked on a skesish if you if you know that I I me and Gian as bim this was one of one of my projects that as a ben70 that we we were looking for the rebikas and we couldn't find in 770 you couldn't find the rebikas and finally when there wasn't in the library sitting there I saw there is only only it was like 20 or something books of all the sas from the reb from the were coming out but no one bothered to compile them at the proper >> no no no no theas from from the mems they came out organized but the from the previous years they were missing because there was no real organization like it was in the mems so would write or they didn't write >> there was sometimes they wrote and some were means that nobody really made the >> ins and the laments until lamemed something like that there was no real good anas so a lot of the anas were like just an parties so there was not published to everyone so only 30 bim had it and it was in the reb's library and and that's it so nobody if like me wanted to read so there was only the 21 23 volumes and that's it and every every books miss was missing like 10 for was missing 20 was missing from this year from that year from that year So we wanted for ourselves to collect we thought just for me for ourselves to make for a few bim so we could be bought a cup machine and and we asked Ra Krinsk's son the in um you know Ley Krinsky asked him if he if his father give us permission if if father could permission to have a room in 770 he gave us a room in 788 and we started to copy the then we started to research and we saw oh my god there is so much So we didn't realize anyway it took us a few years to do it and we made 50 volumes out of from the 23 we we researched we found all the we took we had we have 50 bim work for us one b was typing rabb was working for us typing the rabbas from tape and then and then and then printing them and then binding them whole story and we we we had to go to an init we promised an we make we'll make a set if they give $1,000 for us we will gave him a set and and like Mos Rab Schaefer was one of the first people that I went to and he agreed and um he gave us $1,000 and then we would ra gave us more than $1,000 for the for the project and we didn't believe we young young kid we had no idea how long it will take it took us anyway so so when I did the skesh when I worked on tiny someone told me that Rabbi Al is a human so I went to him and that started my relationship with with with Alleg and and with the human of and I took some that he wrote that were not in the skes and I put them in as an into the but because of that I I started to read the and I started and I realized there is such a rich uh information what was going on in so the idea already started from then from that we have to make a book about it but I never really took it seriously but then finally in after my wedding I decided I'll do this as a project because I for and I actually I actually I I put some pieces of in the in some of my chur that I made for in the years of me and I also and I also did I printed magazine some of the beautiful stories from translated from so I got kind of involved in >> So you were doing this in the time yourself the the book. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Of course to kahas what you want to do. >> No, no, no, no. I I I I started to work on the book and then I went to Rabi Kinsky and I spoke to him about this Raikinsky said I knew it's a very sensitive issue because I can't promise anything. You made the book if the book is ready we'll give it to the Reban then we'll see. But he he he couldn't promise me first I went to the other people in Kos they all sent me to Kinsky. Then I went to Kinsky Kinsky I can't promise and the book is ready if you want if you're willing to do it. So I raised money for the book and I >> Yeah, I was going to say no one paid you to do this. >> No, of course not. I raised money to to to make the book and uh and uh but but I felt there is a need for it and uh then you you know the whole story how I took also Rab Zakovski to in New Jersey to help me. He was a young ba then I needed help with collecting items and so on. But the old book I wrote myself and I was sitting on every word uh Shivaim as we say uh to make sure because I know it's a very sensitive issue. So every word was >> because you felt you saying you felt that that the story should be told but doesn't mean that it doesn't mean that we have to publish >> things that are not neg things were not and and and it turned out to be that uh when I made the book after the book was published a lot of people told me why didn't you come to me to interview me but the truth is when I tried they didn't want to >> so a lot of people they they you know they didn't want to be interviewed and I I took most of the things that I took was not from interviews. I mean Zamagar gave me an interview. What was interesting with Rabi Gurari when he gave me the interview he said to me I will tell you why am I even talking to you and he said that once he remembers the Reb told him that there has to be a that you have to make a safer about this time told him that and he totally was not understanding it >> totally didn't I didn't understand what did I mean who should make us safer, why to make us safer and it was forgotten. And when I came to him, he said to me it came back to him had you to >> I didn't I I had no idea. >> Not like I >> that that's what they called. >> So So you know I I had no idea. So that's why he said that's why I'm talking to you. He he told me a lot of things that I couldn't even put in the book. Very special things. But he was uh but but he gave me a lot of information. And then David gave me a little bit of information and rabbi gave me a little bit information >> but it's ma it's mainly from the letters from and from >> yeah mainly it's from letters and from yeah mainly from the letters and also um raiki gave me information but for the churas he already passed away but for the churas he gave me information and some of the chur I I reused them for later for the book and then also um tal who passed away lately Um his mother his mother um had that recording from label when she was a youngster infra gave the whole history of tiny when he was still young it was either was in the lament I think the laments and uh and uh it was very very interesting was like a whole two hours two and a half hours so I took it down I wrote it as if it's an interview but it was really recording from him >> and So and a and a few things that he said there a few special things came out later documents that actually supported that but the reb himself wrote >> and u anyway so later in the last the last 30 years huge material came out >> new material that I did not see but all the material that I that came out is only supporting the the line that I took in my book the way I did it >> what's the line >> that that um that right from the beginning, literally from the first few weeks, the entire majority of Anash around the world was already glued to the Reb. >> So that is the truth. >> We don't need to get into the whole thing, but >> basically everyone knows that that there was so I think historians that or whatever people that tried to they want to say it wasn't so simple. there was this camp and there was that camp and I mean I read the book obviously and I also by a lot of people myself I mean that's a there was no movement the only movement a real move maybe there was a but the only movement that existed probably from day one you say a few weeks I'll say from day one is that because it's for sure from day one for two example that one example I wrote in my book but the one example May Ali just told a very interesting example. Um you know by the by the city there is a custom that at the at the funeral after the funeral they make an announcement who is a rabbad was not a custom. Well usually it took a year or more >> but but the concept always says the second. >> Right. Right. So the yardb's book that is so the same thing happened by the rebel a few examples I have in the book and a few examples I later one example that is for example that um that told me that that shabas by day the Phil passed away in the morning shabas morning two hours Later, the Rashag was holding the Reb's hand and walking with the Reb, crying and saying to the Reb, "What's going to be? What's going to be? What's going to be?" And the Reb calmed him down. And they were going back and forth in the hallway in the Philic Reb's house. And the Reb calmed down. Everything going to be okay. Everything going to pay will continue. And and another story that happened uh that's in the book also that uh there was a one of who had who was supposed to have a supposed to have party became a party >> and he didn't know what to do what should he do the just passed away so he ran to 770 and he saw he was the authority he went to said what to do said to him go to the raash go to the So right from the beginning the Reb made the decisions and the the most interesting story that happened by the by the came out. So one is in the book that when they took the fabba down the reb said loud that we're making atai we make a condition that we are putting you here only in that if we will go to Israel that we will take you with us. That's one thing that they saw that the rebel led everything and the second thing that Malik told the story lately that I never knew before that um there is a custom that you put the sand of in the casket and in the grave and so they wanted to put the sand the Reb said that the fic reb does not need Israel send someone of the family started screaming no bishu bishu was And the rebbit said if my husband said we don't need so I'm with my husband and why the Reb and they didn't put the Reb led the right from the first second and why they didn't put why the Reb didn't want to put because the Reb says the famous theb explains what's the difference between oil what's the mile of going to the oil theb says that there soil because there was the there so the is not there there is the is there but it's not the essence of is there but it's not big there and what where the where the was the msh that parable then you there is a wall a big wall and falls down so the stone on top of the wall falls the lowest so in soul is there's no gill >> falls the farthest >> falls the farthest so therefore the inner to soul there's because that's the place where the atmos so therefore the the does not need the offer he doesn't need the send from Israel but that's where the go is but is not where so that he doesn't need the sent but you could see that that the reb led from the first second that his nas the reb was the ni and his decisions were made. There was absolute and and and not only that especially within days I mean like Dubov that's in the book Abed Dubov is the one Dubov from from Manchester he's the one who asked the Reb the the day after the stalkers or the day of the stalkas he asked the rebba to take over the nas and the reb to him what do you think the said his name is a reb and then a week when he went back to England and he went to's house and he together he had a meeting with And he sent a telegram to the reb wrote back the vi the reb wrote to beta I'm sure that he heard what I told Dubov and he was here about this. So so so but anyway all the information that came out you could see clearly that my line was true. I think it's connected to what you said before where you were describing what it meant to be. So after your all the people there saw this right away. So it's not it's not it's not a sha >> they actually they actually saw it before maybe I told you many years ago um Rabbi Norman Lamb the president university came to visit us in Alaska came for a tour here he came with his wife and his sister and I took them uh on a drive to a mountain here a special place it's called a special place here in Alaska and there on the way back that we went back from the m down to the mountain and there was a we had like a smoke the car was smoking. So we had to stop the car to >> has a smoking car. >> Wait to wait to wait. Even though it was actually a a very nice good win, a big van. >> Stop it today. Your car doesn't smoke. >> Wouldn't do that. Yeah. Anyway, so we stopped the car and and the two ladies were singing with Meni with my song Meni from Masilla. Um they were sitting with him and telling him stories and I hear how and I was talking to him of of a lamb and I hear as the the ladies are telling men that um they remember they used to be young girls in in Kits in the 1940s and they remember when the reb came to America and they remember the reb to walk in the streets of Kingston. So the two ladies, she and her sister, two ladies, they tell my son and how everybody came out of the houses to look on him. He looked like a prince. >> They they just they they said the beauty of the Reb. But it's not that. It's exactly what the Rebana writes in how in our memory the Rabbi Khana writes that that when the Reb was a little kid, everybody was joined to look at him because there was that shine that came from him that it was inhuman. It was was beyond humanity. It was a spiritual shine that came that it caught everyone's eye. It's like when saw the saw the the the burning bush and but it says turned to see what is it because he saw something a snare. He saw something which is not natural. He saw non-natural scene. That was the Reb. When you saw the Reb, you saw something which is not normal. It's not human. This is not a normal thing. And I still remember how I saw the rebum kipper by Ma the first time when I was a little kid involved and I still remember sitting down and taking off his hat and and and sitting down >> then I became a tail. I became an ali and I and I remember like now I remember seeing the reb's feet and something I never you saw it's not human you saw something not normal here and I remember I I I barely ded him I was holding the and looking at the reb I couldn't take my eyes off the rebba and I remember when the rebba jumped on the chair for for the reb was when was 74 years old and the reb jumped on his chair and turned around. I would not be able to do it today. I mean, it's like unbelievable. I I remember I was like, "Oh my god, I couldn't believe it." The jumped up on his chair and turned around and it's not jumping and he jumped and it's a soft chair and he jumped on it and he was making that. It's like you have to understand it's like it's not you saw mash you saw I was a little kid. That's like like wow this is not this is not you you you felt it in your bones this is a lus you felt that this is I always just tell my balabatim that anybody who saw the rebba had no doubt that there's a because you saw you saw that there is a god in the world you know people who didn't see the maybe could have doubts but people who saw the rebba have no doubts you know that there is a in the world because you saw a phenomena which is beyond on human nature. You saw this is this is you saw this is this is the this is this is the chain of this is you see the balm you push you saw you saw the balm in our own time I remember something about the forens the long I used to stand some years I had my place on on the top of the of the benches so I was very high I was like the same height of the reb but Because I was there I was sitting I was >> your place was directly across >> directly across the river. Yeah. So I remember some of the and when it was long forensans it was like getting close to the end of the brain and I was already tired and you know you're listening for like five six hours you would listen to every word to catch every word understand every word and and sometimes I took like a second to breathe and I and I look just on the scene and I still remember that scene. You see the red is sitting because when I when I listen for a minute and I closed my eyes to understand but I took that second just to watch it. I still remember that scene. >> You didn't look at the spoke. I I looked at the but a lot of times I would close my eyes to understand >> and I was I was into what the Reb is saying but sometimes I took the moment just to watch the scene and this was a scene like you felt you literally felt the light on the on the Reb on the Rebel like there was and it says in the Gmorrah that there was a you felt it it's not you you saw something unusual it's like that scene of the Reb sitting there and bringing it's like It's out of this world. So, of course, of course, it's a the fact that we don't have it is a is a huge crime against humanity. That's a huge crime against the Jewish people. There's no question about that. It's it's it's it's the I mean, to me, is of course it's a it's a crime. It's a mdash. There's no question about that. There's no question about it. But if the Reb decide to do it, if the decided to do it, there must be a reason. There must be a mission and there must be a mission and that mission must be fulfilled and we are in that mission there and the Reb is with us. The Reb is like making sure that we will fulfill this mission and nobody is is out of this mission. Everyone must be part of it and we will the reb is going to is and we see clearly we see if it's about Israeli politics if it's about if it's about theim all over the world the way theim today are accepted it's just you can't compare the way we are accepted today in in in Alaska in comparison like the person who built the the the kabaras in in in fairings he's the person who built the reform temple a few years ago there 30 years ago The same person who built the reform temple, he's the one who built Kabadas. It's like things like that, you couldn't even make them up. 30 years ago, they will never happen. The person who build the temple will build the kabalas. You're crazy. You can't even imagine that. But this is happening today. Like there is a there's a revolution in the world and the and the shas that the of the have today with the entire leadership of the of the world leadership with presidents and kings all over the world the personal connection that we have is is beyond words. I mean it's not only about Israel. We talk about the United States everywhere. Look what Ra just had the prayer in Washington and the president was saying he was the first one who gave the prayer. I mean things like that happen today that never we couldn't even imagine. Look how in in now what they have now every year 100,000 Jews are coming to to tokism. Things are the people are coming to the oil. I mean I had here last summer I had a group of ladies from from from five towns and one of them is a daughter of a very very famous Jewish activist. I don't want to say the name like one of the top top Jewish activists in America. And she tells me that she she and her friends they go every m Shabas to the oil and not only that she says to me sometimes I have a friend who what's up so everyone I'm going to the oil anybody wants to join we jump into the car and we go I mean it's like I wouldn't believe it woman I mean I wouldn't I would never dream this is could happen >> over over here I don't have to ask people they ask me let's go >> it's just like unbelievable it's like you can't even imagine who would thought gimlamos that this will the way it will look like today. Nobody dreamed that this will be. >> Yeah. >> But it it shows you that and so so obviously I mean there's no question about it that that what we saw of course it's it's it's a it's a it's a crime. It's it's I mean when I look at my grandchildren and as they got to the oil I mean my heart is breaking. It's I mean I mean I see bim who don't do not have the opportunity to assemble the for bringing you know what it means to be by the for bringing one for bringing one for bringing not to not to have that we had every shabas one for bringing but but from the other hand I seek I mean what you said before about the people tell you about the I see it myself when I listen out of the I was there I see a whole new depth that I never even understood was standing there and I listened to the first time. I see a whole new meaning. >> I in in every fra I see I see how the Reb is leading to a certain goal that I never even saw. Then I looked I looked at the ter question and answer I didn't understand that there is a whole even as much as I understood then now it's like and I see it in all different way. It's like a whole The Reb has a a mahalak that he's leading the whole world. All of his talks and all of his all leading to the same and in different ways and is like ain't safe. It's is infinite in his if it's whatever burim that he has on on if it's if it's on the reb there is and and all the chur are coming out with the letters from the reb with the miners from the it's endless. It's a lifetime. is not enough to to to to even to to cover just to read the reb text not even to understand not even in depth just to read just to listen to all the fab you know Josh Gordon they say that Gordon that he listened to all the fabas >> I mean I listen to it's like the there is nothing there is no biggest pleasure in the world than to listen to forever the the the rakite the the the gishmak the strength the the the amuna you get from death is like unbelievable and it's it's such a that the Reb gave us such a such a gift that the Reb gave us and the and the Reb actually meant it was that that should be recorded. The Reb had a special I I remember not not too long ago the I saw the Reb said um the Reb wrote about listening to the recording from his Fangan. Yeah, >> there was an old plan in that the Reb said to listen to the also here in New York there was not there was and the famous you know the famous story that the Reb said by the almost one of the last rallies you know >> they should send the uh the video to send the video to to Russia and the Reb said but the sent to the children that there are kids around the world who cannot be here right >> but when you will make with your hands and you'll see with they'll see the Levica pictures and they'll see the they get pictures that >> they'll see the picture and then they'll also have the Reb set him to send it and there is also the video from the from the whenever comes into the Reb and it says to the Reb that his business is in videos and the Reb says have you seen the video that we made Kaneka and you saw the Jews in Russia were dancing together with dancing around >> like so they see the Reb was like saying to him we we know about videos and we we in the business of videos we we and because the Reb emphasized The Reb put the kayak in the video in the picture. I mean the Reb himself wrote a famous settle about a woman who had wrote to the Reb that she has a the Reb looks at the Reb's picture. Therefore he looks back on you and that gives it the says that a picture and told to carry a picture in his pocket many to carry a picture was telling people and >> yeah so there is clearly that the rebik this was very very an uplifting conversation and uh we already be it should become even bigger. >> Amen. We should all be to fulfill the and we should be to see the mash. I think we missed one important point. >> Yeah, >> we have one more minute. One important point that we should talk about it and that is the concept of what is the for >> I think it's >> go ahead. Go ahead. I think it's very very important for people to understand that and that is that um I just want to say one line and had a big in that line and that happened by the famous of Shabas after Pes and the Reb asked to sing the of the and the Reb asked the was in a something unusual. The reb took a lot out of it was in a huge mir and the rebb said to the the gimmel the third of the alterb to again and again and again and it was such an amazing that after the rebb stood to he continued singing the ngan to himself it was was unbelievable and then the rebba said why is the ngan so important because that is the alterb and he was mamik He was an a new soul. He was an atmos. He was something a new from and he was m to the das after him to the generations after him. That this the alterb was mamik he brought to the world a new gilly from to the generations after him. And that's based on what the Filic told that several times in the last years in America the said he said to that that the alterb came the first time to the mid the told him that told them that the will come he should tell alterb that he is an he soul and he has a special mission to bring to special mission for all the generations after him until Mashia to bring Mashiah. So what is a new soul? So people thought that the soul never came in a gilgal >> but that's not true. As the Reb says and also wrote it in the Reb speaks about that new soul means what is talking but there it says that said and the Reb said it many times by that said that all the Gim that were inhaz till Mosiah are all from and Mashiach is just to say in two words what does that mean that everyone knows about the esospherosphere of the what is which is means it's beyond above away from everything and means it's being it's being comes down to the to the world so in kessa there is there is pleasure pleasure is the highest level and there is which is the will so so we have we have intelligent and in order for us to in order for us to do something we want to what do you want to learn you want to learn something that you have a pleasure to learn so what whatever you do in life is because you have pleasure because you have pleasure you want to do it and you have when you want to do it you start learning it and that's how it goes so the sed goes there is there is and then there is so the so there said that all the in are all from from itself but when will come will be a primic and that is the giles because in artic itself the oftus so that so said there are two kinds of there is which are from mashiach then there is which is from mashia that's Theto said to to the to tellb that he is that he is from and therefore what is the saying that that what is the reward from then we know that what is what is because everything starts with in order to have because everything starts with So before you bring Mashiach in the real world, you bring the T of Mashiach, the Mashiach and then that refineses the world to have Mashiach in the real world. So that means so that the what I'm trying to bring out is that the entire the entire why is it so unique? Why is so unique from all of the world? Because from the alterb on and going every because every is a malam of the previousb and said the said about that is in me and the said about himself. So all the rabbim are the same from Mashiach and each has a different sphere that he added to that and the Reb which is which is the highest level and the Reb's mission as is to bring that to bring it in reality in Haz. >> So why do you uh I'm saying why do you feel why do you want to share this? What's important? We're sharing it because it's important to understand what's the conson what's the what's the connection of mashiach withad what's the whole issue with the mashia why why is it so important to the mashia and what's the connection why the rebad because this is what is what's unique when you learn you'll see things there that doesn't say anywhere else before said Rabbi Salvich JB Salvich said that the greatest philosophy of all the philosophies >> in that's what said from all the philosophers including Aristotle and K and all of them so that means that the is a new thing a new that's it that says Mashia will come to be that is therefore it's so unique therefore when you when you spread You refine the world. You start with and you bring the world to me reality. So therefore the for example the what was the reb's campaign to print the >> in every city. Why the rebb gave a gift? Why he didn't give a gay himself? Theb gives a gift. What's the gift again? I have four on the why and what is in the Tanya there is the all the blood from all the cities with the Tanya why we have to if you want to give a class in Tanya in Alaska you could take a tan from New York was pretty you have to pick a tan in Alaska but the idea the said explain that the idea is just like but there is a from New York or Tanya from so everyone knows that is a source of that's a place where print from Then we know the vna vna was a city where you have a printed. So that means vna or or new york became a source aan where you print. So the reb said he wants every city that the for the east is to bring a lus of the gashm that every city becomes a source of tus anchor fab every city becomes a source of t that's bringing the lus down in the reality of the world and that's the reb's mission the so it's not like just happened to be the spoke about mashiach it's not just happened to be because that is what the it's all the >> and and also not only it happens it also So it wasn't it wasn't like I saw this lash and it's like the Reb's personal wish you know it's like like no >> it's not the Reb's wish this is what the entire >> whatever the Reb's personal like you know campaign or like >> yeah as if the was and he wanted Mashiah it's the he of course the Mashia but it's much more than that this is what stands for >> to change the world and bring in the world that is mashiach And the reb his mission is to bring it to reality. So therefore what we are after we are the brings Mashiach in reality. Therefore there was a stalkers because that's the final the final of us as as people who can see the Reb that we see the Reb from within us. That's what the whole idea is not to see the Reb from the outside of us but see the Reb from within us to find the Reb in us. So death because we because we are because we don't see the we are broken about it therefore we find the and that's what Mashiah so it's not the isb the is the because he is the he brings the so therefore So important to remember that all those mashia and especially from the last says that the entire is to bring mashiach that's the entire work of and all the and to teach as I said before that when do you know mashiach is coming when you reach the and the lost Jews and the the far away Jews in the end of the world so everyone you now it's coming somewhere people go traveling you travel and you find a Jew somewhere in a in a gas station and They put on fill with him that will bring mashia because this is the of the to find the very very very good and [Music] and that's it. Amen. [Music]
