Welcome to Among an ongoing faban about life as our vibrant connection with the Reba and inspired living shaped by the way he teaches us each and every day. Okay, fine. So we'll move. So now we have uh >> which is everyone's only the first day >> right. Um again before meas those days were quite unevent uneventful I would say um >> before oh you see the >> when there were changed and >> you didn't see the >> changed didn't see the too much >> so now we get >> okay so now we get to the highlight of >> at least in my view >> but I want to go over uh whatever the first time I came to it day after. >> Mhm. >> It seems like there started on Yuanhaga. The day after Yam they were started to go to the oil. So the day after every Yumpt >> every Y besides Rashana because it's didn't go on a fast day but um day after in Kipper there went to Lav. So I remember when I came to Saudi so they said actually somebody picked us up from the airport and said then already done was in the aisle already went home so I'm not going to see the that night. So first I saw there was but uh and there went also and from then on I think all the years from the after would go to so um um described I mean I described it in the the forerunner for the hair >> the original my first 24 hours by the Reb was like whatever it's interesting I think I think it's archived you get online I think anyway seeing the first time my father admitted to me when the reb came into me he was looking at me not not he wanted to see my reaction but uh funny thing is I'd never seen a video then a film of the rebba before I came to the reba first so I'd never seen they were walking or anything. I saw pictures but I never seen a a video. So I see they're walking in downstairs. So all the will be downstairs besides from Chris also started to be downstairs during t you know the big island. It wasn't hard to ask the Reban says that I noticed through the years because I remember one time a bus of tourists came. Half the bus was boys, half bus was girls. I don't think they were from but they asked the girls in the in the bus. So the down downstairs even though it's quite empty but it wasn't hard to ask the reb to downstairs. If there was an excuse there were down downstairs or even the you know hats did I not down cuz I'm big island anyway. Um so the reba down the reba came into remember seeing there but the first time I would say he looked different than I ever saw the reba before though after that I mean before I didn't see but after his face seemed like glowing it was like I don't know it was different look and there goes this place during ashri not sure when that stopped I think after me >> I discussed this on a different podcast with someone I don't think we came up with an explanation but the had this hug >> put on the show and then later the snap that >> and to come in with a gle on >> then only and um yeah I'm going to cut off a few details have to go through every single detail but just seeing seeing the right after Mina River turns around And there goes up to Ardesh touches the paras and uh Freden le Fryen the photographer was there that was his first year first year's official uh photographer. >> Mhm. >> So the as saw him standing there next to g smile and I see you know you have to learn the hanhagas. I see the DA smiles. Everybody smiles. Anyway, the Reba walked. There was going and somewhere near the Bimma in the middle of the shuddly stops. It was stopped. Everybody ran over there. By the time I got over there, the was already out of the sh. But the Reb asked Bakar who's taking pictures. Tanya, how much Tanya do you know about pay? I mean when went over there I heard him tell you asked me if this is an English guy you want like another American eight years later spoke about it I asked him if he learned photograph Maybe I don't remember that one. >> No, but this is this is like this a few times. >> Yeah, but this was like about it. >> It's referring to that time. >> Okay. Eight years later speaks about it. >> There's a video walks in >> straight over the land. >> Yeah. That morning. Yeah. >> Yeah. The morning. What's interesting that ask the person who's holding the phone, the camera, not the one who's holding the video. >> Interesting. >> Personally, I feel that video you have more to learn. One of the things says you took a picture yesterday, you took a picture day before, why you taking a picture again? What are you going to get from it? So unhagers which people um they write down they saw such an unhagger different unhagger but what do you get from just taking a picture again? That's what there was. So I don't know my own when it comes to videos there was not so against it because a video does have a >> you know there's something more you could learn from >> I'm thinking about them theorizing about this more there was opposition from the for pictures and was told but video >> so there are mentions in that about >> right but video later when uh And then Krinsky wanted to start the videos. I mean and Yul was doing the videos in I think liked it >> even though in that also there was say satellite. >> Mhm. >> Didn't say the didn't say in a positive way. >> Mhm. I remember when I held David Kinsky I think it was you know the one who started gem and he was like uh or maybe it was freedom one of them anyway one of the family was saying uh the first time they have mentions a satellite wasn't positive >> publicly yeah >> yeah so like anyway so I was just saying that this what happened that first men I mean I was there that night there was between and it's the last time it was at tunic. Okay. So my father asks client could you go to so says you just came you already wanted to go to but later later years I found out it was >> before and afterwards. No no no no be first you hear and then you go to >> even the first the bak who came before and they wanted to go to as soon as they arrived and the freed said after shabas and they were wondering and simpson then he explained he said shabas the now we don't hear we don't hear the Indian shout first comes and then So maybe that was the Indian La didn't have that year because our ticket was the day after is there was no way we could change it. So um we're talking and uh and um my father's asking was there was nothing to do already we there was already he's going to the so I didn't have but the point because of that my father sent me the next year for so another >> because you didn't have >> because I didn't have then so >> I came the next year so I had >> just by yourself >> yeah I mean yeah I went to the room by I was twice and very short but was um up to so that night was so I remember the discussing if the um usually afterb would come at 1:00 in those years but because go to the because it's So mama will come at 12 o'clock and they were right. I I already told you before about the the gl so I'm not going to >> but me b me b me b me b me b me b me b me b me b me b me b me b me b me b me b me b me b mentioning gl I'm not going to repeat it again >> that night was came back from we came back from the from so the downstairs till the end of there would always be a break between even though was late was after but nevertheless there was always a break between after mandal mandala did that change and they started having together and even shabas by faban if it was late also min together that's a new hanog started el malad so after minad went upstairs to his room and there was media that may be I think 9:15 whatever and then a courts of faban usually a courts faban meant two hours bar two two and a half excuse me um comes in and uh I told you already before about when I said first time okay first timer they said that he wants all to go to um especially to show that in the world so should go and beus So to show that wherever he is he's comfortable he's bus so especially should go to all the different places then going to >> sim stood up by and g then gave out dollars it's the first time getting dollars from the reba I mean kissed so went over by time I went over in the early years of dollars by Fabangan, you would still be in the middle of Fabangan and the Tankist would go around and give dollars. It was hard to climb over the people and especially I wasn't used to it. When I came to the re gave me a pack of dollars, but as soon as I went off, somebody says to me, "Everybody has dollars already. Take for yourself and uh give me the rest. I'll give back to Mosc because especially there were loads of takistan." Mhm. >> And I tried to squeeze back inside and it was a interesting um and the Reb said to a few to whistle. Remember you'll see two from is next to me and he's whistling. I think the Reb said two one after another to whistle. By the third niggan, he's still whistling. He has his eyes closed and he's whistling with all his kayak and looked at him and smiled. He was like in a different world. Anyway, the end said um like sing going out of gus the started and stood up and made frail host a very wasn't very unusual in those years but it was still an interesting uh thing that's already the night before sukus and sukus used to be a peaceful once before The only real night was the second night. Besides that, it was um >> why the second night? >> Second night is always for it was a moment thing officially. The second night of sukas because in BL. >> So the second night was always loads of herangans used to be always big. the house where I was staying remember was an uncle so he used to come to that suka always for ring and um anyway so um I remember just uh the second night every time most times when they ever came in that sukas they were saying and there came in there was some on the way to his place and started by or it was second night sukus they sing and there comes this face or puts down the sid turns around him start clapping turned around to the was like wow it's like a really exciting it's very unusual that a regular did like that later but did that every that was they say because of what happened afterwards and there wasn't with that was unusual but even also there did that and Um trying to remind myself now but uh and there's every especially before so one of the time is saying and there comes in it's you look the video it's on the tishary video of it which gem came out gave out the black and white one there's a phr video but it's not that good the black and white one push focuses on the reba you see the reb is seriously happy. It's like hard to explain. serious for >> that's the >> but that particular thing I mean that looks like what the rebba looked like in that shoulder slightly as he's clapping and and as turns around niggan's over and huff used to be the same way turns around then niggan's over hakaf is over >> general is >> yeah niggan >> they say one Not sure why >> they say one of the gimmel maybe early lammed say was upstairs came into and seeing Allahb got up on his chair and for 10 15 minutes they say whoever was there will not forget it people saying ah I missed it I was there and that but everybody remembers that >> I think it has something to do with the the with the niggan >> I don't know what I'm saying >> I mean you could say a bunch of niggan the really liked with the like >> also like the it also works very well musically. I don't know like I don't know >> it's a very >> I thought about it over the years like what's what's this niggan >> I wouldn't know why but anyway that's but there's a bunch of like so also is one of the nonim that um mavage was singing by hakafus one of the nonimon >> mhm >> um where's the others not too many more the hak but that change the sometimes it ever changed it especially when he danced by himself in the later years um but generally I see sukus was a peaceful I'm not going to go into the second night was a strange thing it ped from the second night of sukus it poured until pa almost did not stop raining I don't remember a single meal we were able to eat was like run in with your coat and eat asked and go out. It was push pouring the whole time. I said settle from the rebound. It's printed. >> Yes. >> That somebody asked how could you have the if you if you um was such a mat of raining and it says in the so said since you already made the also they say even though it's raining say So was pouring the came in and said loud. So should hear you say even though it's raining. >> So you think the also said if inside right >> so there in the settle the says since you're already said that day. So it can't be that the doesn't accept your sitting in the discussing it's hard to understand this because we do continue to also whatever it's >> I think that year they did they didn't they didn't eat but they >> yeah whatever they inside >> actually night >> I think someone was describing a mend and he was I heard head out then >> I heard that night so after till announces because the sent all over somebody suggest here bring here so I wasn't there you know my I was a young boy my father took me home to sleep I have to tell him but the guys went into the suka so bring it's pouring and they say before that I went home they would go home shab would go home by shakra So the looked inside the suka and saw for raining and the rebra. >> Mhm. >> Anyway, so it was raining so much the shin the reb gave out leak next to his room >> and not in the suka. >> So I got lak next to his room. So it's the only year that happened was push pouring. later years it happened >> on rabba >> I think no wasn't that the room >> don't think I mean I don't I have to check I don't know >> okay >> but usually usually came up with this okay >> okay one of the integral components of being aid are the whether it's alfiss or gimmos these days give us an opportunity to connect with ourim to connect with each other and be better.

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

So um before hak I think it is so the turned around to cats who was announcing the who should go to office. So the looked towards him started saying something. It looked like they wanted to give him an instruction. They became quiet. But started a sikha instead. The stepped forward and started saying the whole was leaning on a stander. And here stepped forward. Basically the said all should go to the zing of the marsh to show that belongs to belongs to us belongs to belongs to Eden in a sense I would say one of my friends was saying it looked like the was paying back for what he didn't do by the march there was the march was so short he there was like he did mish but the biggest surprise was after the The took his sitter there started saying the so high pitched I don't know how they're able to reach so high [Music] so high like very very high scream lips and there was saying lipsukim quietly you know the small and some people started to sing and some people were shy you So as soon as finished they started singing was he did so much there was actually a beard right in front of the ding and he was going to the like this the whole time with his hand. So they're made to him also very strong a lot but it was very strong hakafa again even though there was a before before hakus but in the middle hakus again before hakim. So again the start of a and this time the said that all those who are um when the army and the mish and all different types of maybe all those are different types of the Israeli army should all go to the hakafa then the rebba said again in other words he was kaz for that haka but the reb didn't go to the middle was on his ding They didn't know what niggan to sing. So after the finished so started singing um wasn't here whatever I mean was I think they were the special ones. >> I think your hakama was I think your hakama was very important. give the context. >> Yeah. Yeah. Um I should I say mandalad was a very interesting um night. Usually is like a little contained. The sim is not all the way as big as usual. Knight there was like so there was almost bent over double ah there. Yeah. Yeah. His hands stretched out forward. He was bending and his hand stretched all the way forward like so afraid of the the hakas. And the next night there spoke about it and the Reb said that with the with the alterb when when there was a who should win the war. >> Yeah. uh the altar if um Napoleon or or um >> and uh it was the sign of Shine whoever blows Kas first and they told the story didn't say the name who was the other just wanted to stress he was a person a person so it's says like stressing and he says um so the other this he told his people right away to get there the dumb fast. And when he got to Schaefer, he picked the in his hand and he said, I remember there was saying this like loud I the like he did it first. >> Did it already was called and he he blew for what did I say the should be before Ding just like Lulv is before Ding. Then later you take it in Ding again. So same thing should be right in the way in the middle. Then you blow again in Mos but they stopped there was because the Romans or whoever it was was getting nervous. >> I think I was reading I think it says you're not supposed to do it that early. >> Not supposed to do that. Wait. Okay. The main reason >> right whatever you do it later. Yeah. >> Yeah. But the main reason is the said not to because the the go were afraid of making an uprising. Right? >> But once you do it in the middle of doubling, you see it's part of a ceremony. It's not an uprising. It's not a rebellion. Anyway, that was the main reason. But went back to the original thing and he blew first. So you see from this says there, but sometimes you have to be before the actual time. So here we will mock them before the actual time of the so like weirdly thing and to the end of this says because the time before hakus so every ye is able to to bench another ye so everyone should bench and then at the end says to to be um to to say's name And then he said and said didn't say name said the next day they don't explain why he didn't say the whole only said has to do more of the bentures everybody it was after between Hakoffus between Fbrang and Hakoffus everybody's going around benching each other. It was like and this kiddish outside you know everybody's eating there but people going to each other and everybody's benching benching each other was at I mean they were just benching and they were hugging each other also >> there was like that's one thing I saw >> it's an interesting thing that I'm noticing from your te and everyone talks about the rabba but but two things you mentioned. I mean the story of of the bra and also the way you started that everyone felt like one. Mhm. >> So it's like the type of the feeling of brought out you know the like it's it's altogether >> yeah had this feeling which is yeah >> you're saying a mus that you saw >> I saw a mif it was the night of and it was before around time you know the the the reb would be moved out >> for place. There was two benches in there >> and I saw somebody suddenly screaming around the river wasn't there yet. >> So the the space for the skin was in the front on Miz. >> Um no um the right side say Dam. >> Mhm. >> And so it's called the S lab of the head of T. He was um because he had something maybe a heart attack whatever it was some something was going on. I remember as they were taking him out to the kids all came they took him on a stretcher and as he passed by them then I was standing like towards the front of the sh o I would say opposite was ding in a sense to the left side of kesh but near the first bean. and came out opposite and as as they took him out and I see Robert Leo's face. He was on the stretcher. He's white like a what should I say like a white tablecloth like a white shirt is white get oxygen on you know any next part I didn't see obviously but they say that they took him into the ambulance and they reb that he's not well and they have to take him to the hospital the said don't take him to the hospital cuz I won't be able to take care of him leave him here should be by every deting every office everything that night I didn't see him I don't think he they brought him to office that night but from the next daying fabangan everything he was there by the fabbrangan before hakoffus they pushed aside two benches where the sky would sit behind the rebba and he was on there on a wheelchair behind the rabbi by um hakafas he's on the reba on a wheelchair now the rebim would be I say wasn't packed it was full of people you know anybody who felt he had a excuse to be there would be on the Reb's bimma. They would bend down so not to block everyone. They'd be full like whatever. And he's on a wheelchair a little past the Reba, not to block the He's on a wheelchair in middle one of the nigunim. And I see the Reb is like looking through the people catch his eyes and starts clapping towards him and suddenly he was likew his hands were hanging over the edges of the of the arms of the wheelchair. was like on his face is white and there was looking forward and there was like there was like clapping towards him and somebody pokes him like look there I was looking at you so he looks up and there was like no so he starts clapping I remember my eyes popping out I see part his face which is white starts to get red he starts to come back to himself and then after some I saw him walking around very >> he pushes saw this with your own eyes. >> Yeah, I saw only I'd say the only time I saw a mifus with my own eyes. I like there was making a mifus in front of everybody. Most people I talked to don't remember it. >> Yeah, I never had this. >> There's if you look in there's a yan of shashimal >> that whole story >> and they don't have the whole story. They just mentioned he was the reference asked about him. Yeah. There's one thing anyway. Um MH is actually the first time I saw the Reb showing to whistle on Y. So was somebody the whole coffers was whistling on the on the left side of you. I mean >> it happened before >> the bleachers. >> See the first time I saw the rabbit >> but here at the end after it was after already m the end there was said yet they return to the wall. They were show to whistle. They was like on Y. I remember I was talking to somebody on the phone after Y. I told him they were said to whistle. I said, "Wow." Because in this famous notif thing as clapping. >> Yeah. I don't know. It happened even more than that. Tashun base. There was one time they were set to whistle on Shabas big. It wasn't here then. Anyway, um was there told turned over the cup was also scene middle of a coffus and that's also the mishb of the was like looming in the background you know >> I can't say your mom was thinking of it the whole time but in the middle of the middle of fangan there was suddenly turned over his cup I can't say mish noticed this somebody told me he saw the rebel going like that to take out every up but the ever turned over the cup and there was starts showing to both sides like what does want they say yan was the first cup and he turned over whatever was next to him then the said something about to empty the ka not to pour out but not to waste it >> then there's the the m the rabbit afterwards >> yeah then the reb um the reb held the kama for like an hour a niggan everything and I think also they sung and there were there was holding the in his hand >> upside down >> upside down and there was waving the making there was explaining there was what's it mean of cup upside down so just like on the the puts all the cups upside down what's upside down just like the windows of the mash light goes from outside. So the same way the hashb comes from the beam of English to everywhere that's why the cups are upside down. So mela is the Indian of he holding a cup upside down was like her next to me show he is next to me as I was said he goes wow like what a beer explation I remember in the middle I'm I'm saying on my place where her was more on to the reb's left closer to the back of the shaw and I see on the bleacher on the the other side the arm side I suddenly happen to notice a kid where maybe he's 15 years old something 15 16 around that age was a bak he's he's holding a cup with something in the nashka of wine inside his cup he's standing and holding and smiling from the situation I think to myself you're supposed to turn your cup over what are you doing there's no way I can get a message to him the split second I thought that there were like turn to him when like an emergency showing his cup showing the Reb showing his bak to him like supposed to be upside down and the bak by the way from where I'm standing I'm standing on top of a high bench that there was no mus by um before hak office was especially there was no musk and uh I saw from down there people are bringing in bottles and bottles I figure they said to empty the bottles it's maybe off whatever I saw bottles all different kind of whiskey and drumi and bent tea and saw like bottles flying in. >> So there wasn't a lot of drinking >> generally not from the you know cuz you want to see you want to know what's going on. >> Yeah. But here I think it was a little more because >> was quite I say the I mean they always was always and but I say there's nothing like meas was the last time I was here some nothing like me >> everybody talks about >> everybody one of my wife's uncles tanum film Ali Tanam he said to me, I remember hakafas from tshin dal. I said, I remember the old years. There never was hakafas like never. I mean, it's remembering enough from never was like some say that the reb I couldn't notice from where I was standing. Some say they brought down an old kapata which the threads were coming out like ready for work. All I remember is the first night I don't remember too much on the first night but the um Rashag was complaining is was cold always gave him the second so this I was told later he was like whatever uncom go upstairs I remember taking him out during a niggan between outar races And I felt bad for him as they're slapping him out and the Reb starts to be the the crowd was going like wow. And um and this is the first time usually a would be five, seven minutes. Every was 10 15 minutes. The could not keep up with felt it. There was no kas and there was eyes were burning. He was like looking to everybody and like slapping out of you the kas which you never knew you had. It's like it was it's unexplainable. Now the place where I was standing in later years I couldn't see the when he danced in the middle and mostly you know I'd seen the a few times dancing with Rashad. Rashad he did have kayak later years you know danced for a minute. >> Yeah. I read in one of the Z that the basically cut it short. >> The Reb cut it short. >> Yeah. It says like the like >> didn't want to be m whatever. It was hard for >> it was very hard very hard to him >> and even the first time I remember I saw his Rashag is dancing his face is white and like almost like catching his breath. Actually I heard from Rabbi Sodak he said join in keer war they um by day so the reb threw his talents over his face and there was like fake you see the reb was not in this world and there was like yeah and and could he tried to stop the reb but there wasn't in this world so two guys went and held to help him go around but generally it was very so the later years it didn't bother me I sort of had a place in the front so I would be able to see the over there. So I was standing there as a whole bleacher and I was at the bottom of a bleacher but it was like and the whole bleacher could all the way in the front on the left side. We couldn't see the ribb in the middle. There was no chance. So we're singing we're not see you know don't see the suddenly one of say look look says what so I see over there on the one side and everybody's screaming the faces are red scream with all the >> that's how it works the people that saw >> and then >> and then I suddenly see they were all catching their breath and the other side they're red in the face they're screaming >> as a minute minute and a half and then they're turning around and see the was holding in his hand his father's name. I don't remember exactly but the other officer there made us work hard. I remember there was his eyes like burning you know everybody said there has blue eyes. I never noticed it, but I mean there was like I remember it black. I don't know. There was eyes burning but not sharp like I don't know pulling pulling a kayak which was like looking at everybody but the most which I can't forget is after the seventh and the ever came back instead of giving back the I remember Kogan was everybody tells me I'm wrong but I remember Kogan you know from Lenny ground >> which you just had feature article on Yeah. Yeah. >> Uhhuh. So um so I remember he was standing there to take the safety from the Reba and put it back in. But the Reb came back to his place. Instead of giving the capoter, he went up with the cifhater in his hand and he went up on his bimma and the rebas waited for the mashbakim whatever all the guys on the reb's bimma to go down bend down and the reb started I have never ever seen a dance like that and there was jumping I mean the house jumping I will not forget at one point I saw the reb's shoes in the air he was jumping so much jump it was a long time I didn't look at the clock but it was a long time this niggan was just jumping and jumping and jumping and s to all sides and oiled then after the niggan is over. So Kogan reaches for he wants to get the label on get away get away because he saw there wants to sing another niggan starting yet wasn't as much as but still um Fre and then there were takes and he gives such a kiss I've never seen they were kissing anything I mean they were kissed film you don't see it that much it was such a a I mean everybody who saw it you saw so you never seen a kiss in your life. He kissed the tear before with his mouth before he gave it over to Kogan. >> I I've never seen a kiss like that. It brought tears to my eyes. I've never seen anything like it. He such a kiss. It was like you see the a was unbelievable. And it was guys told me later I was in I wasn't able to be here. The guys told me if you had to choose a to be the last one that was a good choice. Whatever. Anyway, amen. Yeah. And this year [Music]
