He says, I have to tell you the truth, I
came here on Shabbos by car, by vehicle.
The Seres Viznitz Rebbe didn't flinch.
He looked at him. He took both of his
arms. He hugged him. And he [music] said
these words in Yiddish. He says, "Mein
Kind, zolst kimen vider vilst und vinder
vilst. [music] My child, I want you to
come here whenever you want, however you
want." Now I want to ask a question. I
don't mean to be a party pooper, but I
want to ask a question. A Jew told you
that he drove on [music] Shabbos. It's
holy Shabbos. It's not such a small sin.
I'm not telling YOU TO SMACK HIM IN THE
FACE. GOT IT. I'M NOT telling you TO
STONE [music] HIM. BUT AT LEAST SAY it
would be so nice if you come next time
without a car. That's very nice. But
that's it. A little but. We have
standards. It's the Shabbos Kodesh.
[music] And put in a little guilt. Your
mother, your father. Do it nicely with
varemkeit
>> [music]
>> and say, "You know what? You can stay in
my house. Never mind. It's probably much
more comfortable than your home." Can't
you do that? Do nice toichecha. Don't
embarrass a kid [music] who's a yosom. I
get it. what he did. He takes him around
and he says, "Mein Kind, vinder vilst
und vider vilst." There's other ways how
you come before Shabbos. Or walk. It's a
good question, no? But now, what's the
truth? What's [music] the now the true
answer to that question? He says, "You
don't understand. I was waiting for him
to tell me that I did something wrong.
Don't you get it? That's what I wanted.
[music]
I wanted him to say,
'I love that you come to my tisch, but
this is not the way.' That's what I
wanted. I wanted to start believing that
I'm not connected to this place. That's
what I needed. [music] I had something
that was still connecting me and I
needed the Rebbe himself to say, [music]
'It's not for you. We are a different
type. You don't belong here.' That's all
I needed. And then I could sever the
last cord, get rid of that last
conscience and [music] say this is not
my place. And that's it. And I'll find
other entertainment Friday night where I
am accepted." That's exactly what I
needed to hear. And he took that away.
HE SAID, "YOU HERE. THIS IS YOUR PLACE.
YOU COME WHENEVER YOU WANT AND HOWEVER
YOU WANT." AND WHAT HAPPENED? IF THAT'S
NOT TOYCHACHA, WHAT IS TOYCHACHA? OF
COURSE, IF HE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT
HIMSELF and his reputation and people
are going to find out what's happening
in this place and even his own religious
authority, THEN HE OF COURSE HE would do
the wrong thing, which means do the
right thing, which means tell him that
he was wrong, which means do the right
thing, which means do the wrong thing.
He would lose him forever. Because he
was thinking [music] about real
toychacha. How do I help this child? He
understood what this kid needs more than
anything else is a home, a family.
