So, we're learning the mime of
the Reb gave this mimer to everyone who
came to see him in 1992, a week and a
half or two before he had a stroke. It's
the last will and testament. There's a
lot of important messages and it really
is the prototype
to understand what ab is
not just what a sadic is both mish but
and this is what we're discussing here.
that this is a very very fundamental
mimer in the kabar ethos
and I'll I'll say it clearly that uh I
don't believe that mosten
have this view of a reba
this is this is this is real classical
kabad in its articulation
and nuances of what mishenu is
So anyone that's interested in really
pursuing the kabad
understanding of what is it's this
mimer. So
you know we're learning it now and you
know but it's something that should be
really learned every year and thought
about and and discussed. So we're on
page 370. Let's go. Venezuela
in the last chapter said an interesting
thing. He said that the actualization of
self-sacrifice
mark the fact that a Jew is ready to
jump into the fire for God and not bow
down to a cross or to an idol is greater
than what Moshe himself had during mo
during his generation. Moshe took us out
of Egypt and we celebrate Pes. Wow. Wow.
Wow. It pales in comparison
to the Moshe in every generation that's
associated with self-sacrifice because
Moshe when when he took the Jews out of
Egypt didn't have to have
self-sacrifice.
God said and he did it fine.
Self-sacrifice means we're going to kill
you for being Jewish. Oh, that's a whole
different thing. So, let's see. So, the
Reba now is continuing that theme. It's
known that self-sacrifice
for mitzv
for all of
remember this mimemer is based on the
mimer that the reb's father-in-law the
freed wrote said and wrote
that the Jewish people during purim
reaccepted
what they accepted at Mount Si. When was
it? During Purim when Hmon sought to
destroy the Jews and there was a decree
on the Jews.
So that's the m that that's the that's
the theme in which this mimemer is based
on. So the Reb says
during the time of Purim
when there was a decree against Jewish
Midnafish
the the Kaneka. Oh so the primary the
primary expression of Ms was during the
time of Purim. Why
the hellist the Greeks says that
the self-sacrifice that we Jews
experienced during Kanek
during
the decree of the Greeks
was primarily Matio Bonov. Yes, Matis
Yahu the Coen the high priest and his
children had self-sacrifice but not the
rest of the people.
Conversely nephas
during the time of
it was for all Jews.
IT wasn't just for Muso and his kids.
Every Jew during the time of Hmon was
faced with
self-sacrifice. Meaning, are you going
to do are you are you are you going to
be Jewish? Are you going to celebrate
Judaism or you going to give in to Hmon
and bow to Hmon?
next page 320 371 says the rabbis we can
explain
what's brought in the
that
was equivalent I'm sorry that in his
generation was equivalent to Moshe
Mark if you said Say to someone this and
this person who's a great person, a
great rabbi, great teacher, a great reb
is as great as Mosha, they'll laugh at
you. How can you compare him to Mosha?
WELL, THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT MORAI.
MORAI IS A GREAT MAN, a great sad, but
compared to Mosha, but that's what it
says. So the Reb says with what we just
explained we will understand this
enigmatic statement made in the medish
how is equivalent to Mosha. Let's
continue
although the extension of Mosha is in
every generation. You hear that Mosha?
There has to there is a Mosha today. 31
years after Gibos, there is a Moses
today alive.
Now we have to go find him, right? Let's
go further.
Nevertheless,
we find in the
in other words like this.
If there is an extension of Moshe in
every generation,
why does the medish have to say that
Mori
is like Moshe?
So the Reb explains that in other words
it seems like
the the the Moses the Moshe in the
generation of Mori is not as powerful
spiritually as the Morai as Mori in his
generation. It explains that now the we
might say
the virtue of the Jew over over the
within the generation who
it's because he was the revealed and
open accessible
the loyal shepherd in his generation.
Mosha comparable to Moshe who is the
faithful SHEPHERD
that draw that drew that draw that drew
knowledge to every Jew.
So in other words the answer is what's
the answer to the question?
Yes, there is a an extension of Mosha
even in Morai's generation. But the the
the parent one, the revealed one was was
Mori.
MORAI HAD HIS BOOTS ON THE GROUND. He
gathers 24,000 children. He says, let's
say verses of Tyra, knowing that Hmon
and everyone else is against him and
they might kill him and everything else.
So because he has the the the midnish an
actualization he actualizes it he is
greater than the extension of mosh in
his generation
and that's why he is compared to the to
to
this is also understood from the fact
that the generation of
call
all The people of Moses of Mosha's
generation
next page
are called a generation of knowledge.
the
by moa. This idea of being this this
type of leader was because he taught
everyone knowledge to have knowledge in
God to understand God. Well, Mori in the
generation of Morai during Purim
this THING WAS REVEALED.
HE REVEALED THE power of self-sacrifice.
So what WE HAVE HERE IS two a very
important point. Listen to this.
Moshe reveals your connection with God
through knowledge through understanding
God.
Morai reveals the connection to Hashem
through self-sacrifice.
And even though the med says Morai in
his generation is equivalent to Mosa in
his generation, but each has a different
role. Mosh in his generation teaches
knowledge to us to understand God.
Mori teaches get down and dirty and BE
READY TO GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR HASHEM.
So the content
of Mosha's
service, Mosha's job versus Morai's job
are two different contents. At the end,
they both are import of course they're
both important and they both give
something that we need. But
self-sacrifice is is the highest the
greatest. There's nothing greatest.
Everything else, you know, talk is
cheap. Talk is cheap.
Okay, GOOD SPEAKERS AND GOOD
PHILOSOPHIZERS. It's all baloney 10
times. Go out and let me see you do this
out in the boondocks on the front.
That's
self-sacrifice.
And the Reb, by the way, told this to to
us from the very beginning in 1951.
for 200 years from the alterb on
were were very special you know they
were very serious servants of Hashem
and they had and they helped and right
AND THEY HAD SELF-SACRIFICE IN RUSSIA
BUT the Reb taught that here in America
or in the free world in the free world
where no one is putting up a gun to kill
you Even though we have that today with
anti-semitism, but you know what I'm
saying,
it's there that you're tested whether
you really have mid neph because if you
sit on your loins
and you relax in the free world, IT
SHOWS THAT YOUR SELF-SACRIFICE IS NOT
WHO you are. He's going to say that
soon. And it's it's a mindblowing
um idea that he's going to say later in
one of the chapters. And I remember the
first time I I heard it, I learned it,
it it just blew me away. And then when
it came out as a published, edited
mimer, it goes even further. So let's
continue.
Look at these words. These are the last
words over here on page 372.
The Reb says that my father-in-law who
is the the the the master of the mimer
the the the author of the mimer
by saying this about MORI THAT MORI HAS
ONE UP on Moshe and that is
self-sacrifice
he ru he he by making that STATEMENT
ABOUT MORI he's re he's ruling he's
making a he's giving an authoritative
opinion about himself,
right? We have that we have that concept
when you when you kind of judge someone
else, you're really judging yourself.
So, be very careful, right? You know,
you know that idea, right? It's picky.
IF YOU JUDGE SOMEONE ELSE, it's it's a
it's based on a t I think of the
that right when you're judging someone
else, you're really judging yourself. So
be careful what this does that how you
judge or what you judge and if you
should judge. But in the positive side
in the positive side the Reb says the
fact that my father on the writes this
in his m of 1927
that Mosha Mosha you know shared with us
in the very beginning that mimer that we
once learned.
So he's he's he's he's establishing the
same thing and about himself. Next page
that he is the loyal shepherd
in a revealed way on
pretty bold of the to say this but
that's what he says. Now
you you understand he says this in 1981
passed away in 1950.
So
just for the record because honesty is
the best policy
who is a greater Mish than the should
right in 1981 31 years after his
father-in-law passes away he says here
that my father-in-law based on his
explanation is making a ruling about
himself that he is the mobu of the
generation. Hey, wait a minute. Which
generation? He passed away 1950. It's
19881.
So what do we see? That in the Reb's
vision somehow
he sees the ability of sadic and in his
opinion it's his not just sadic it's his
father-in-law that he he HE IS THE MOB
OF THE GENERATION.
Now you you understand that this is
something that is very um
uh very unconventional very
unconventional.
So when I say that is the is the first
mishist I mean if if you if you think
about what he's saying it's very
messianic it's very spiritual it's very
out of out of body
right
so you you could you could understand
that the
that those that took take these type of
statements and ideas they they they go
further and further and the Reba didn't
go further and further because he said
together with my father-in-law spirit
being present you have to say kish and
YOU HAVE TO CELEBRATE A yardite and you
have to go to ano and you have to light
a candle and you have to learn Mishnayas
right so the reba had this interesting
this this is a real fabum for another
time but he had a very interesting
um idea here and it's and it's
throughout his talks, 42 years worth of
talks, you just have to pick up pick it
up and think about it is that he's he's
he's his idea is on one hand the person
that Sadi passes on physically
and on the other hand he's very active
AND PRESENT SO MUCH SO THAT I CALL him
the leader of the generation
>> and that's why we say his stalkus we
don't say that the person dies when a
when a when when a saddic dies right we
learned that from Jacobino right
>> yes
>> doesn't say that he
>> Jacob a lit
I I it very good that you said that and
that's a support but
you know uh I never heard anyone say
Jacobino is the the leader of today's
generation I I never heard that
any whether you're sparticidic litish
not religious. No, no one ever, you
know, A GREAT MAN, a legacy. Yeah. You
know, isn't this rabbi? Look what he
left. Look what he wrote. Right. This is
this is a very different This is very
different. This is not just about what
he wrote. It's not just about what he
said. He's telling you in this mimer
that my father-in-law 31 years later is
THE MOSHA OF THIS GENERATION.
Like you can understand why there would
be opposition to this, right? And at the
same time
if you if you knew the Rebba and you
could know him from his teachings and
writings and today the video, you know,
right? He was a very honest man and a
humble man really and and and not and
and not a lunatic, you understand? And
not a fantasiz. Th this opens for us, at
least for for me, it opens up
another realm of reality that's just as
real as you know what you have um in
your life. Yes, Misha.
>> Yeah. Just on this point that that
you're making. So, someone's forwarded
to me yesterday a very interesting a few
minute um documentary about the Reb and
his relationship with
um
>> I just Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I sent
it to the group just now and it's
interesting because he speaks this this
Moshiva speaks
about
like towards the end of the video about
if there's someone in our generation it
could be Msiah he would say it's the
rabbi
>> right right but remember I a first of
all I wrote I wrote all about him and
much more than the video in one of my
books just for the if you ever care to
read it just letting you know but Um
he said that when the Reb was alive in
the 1970s
you understand the point over here that
I am making and and and and and making
you know you aware of is that the Reb
says this in 1981
31 years after his father-in-law
>> right
>> yeah and and there's another thing and
there's another thing the Reb doesn't
say here Msiach
the Reb says here that he is the the
what he what he in his language the Nus
he doesn't say here the word but he
always would say the prince of the
generation here he uses the words that's
that's that's found in that of the
right those are the words here doesn't
say noi it doesn't say msiach it says
that my father-in-law by by by saying
that mori was the in his generation he's
saying the same thing about himself
That's a that's that's another idea.
Can they all come together? Everything
can come together. But there's Mashiach
the right. So
is speaking about meliach.
He's basing on the you understand. I
want to give you background is basing it
on
was a litak. He wasn't aid. He's
bringing a Rambam. And he said the
Rambam TALKS ABOUT THE KING MESSIAH
MELIACH.
And he says that according to what the
Rambam says it could be that as far as
he sees that THE REB IS A CANDIDATE TO
BE THIS MSIAH.
It is it is a powerful statement. No
question about it. Especially coming
from a an oldtime
you know what I'm saying? Not a mnagget,
not a, you know, but but but a lit
So it's it's, you know, it carries a lot
of weight, right? But that's a different
that's a different analysis than what
we're discussing here. That's important
always to really hone in on who's saying
it, what what where is he coming from,
what are his sources.
You know, this is called intell
intelligent intelligent analysis. Now,
if we group everything together, and I'm
not I'm not saying it sham to to to put
you down. I'm just saying it's very good
what you said, but it's that's a
different that's a different analysis,
>> right? I I hear that. I hear that. Yeah.
Okay. I got it. Yeah.
>> Yeah. So, so, so, SO WHAT IT SAYS here
is
is revolutionary.
AS MUCH AS THAT'S REVOLUTIONARY coming
from and it is, this is even more.
This is even more.
And when you when we learn this and now
we spoke about it you you will
understand that like I said I I'm
repeating myself but I that that
made such he had this he had this
passion and this view and the spiritual
enlightenment that that's the way he saw
his father-in-law
you know and and he brings all these
sources both in in in from Nigler
Gammorra
to support his point. But but you could
see how there would be opposition and
how people would say we disagree and
this is like fantasy world but you're
living in a fantasy. Your father-in-law
has been has passed on 31 years. So y
says histoal well histoal yi is a good
excuse me rebuttal but it's so only
aidic rebuttal yi go into go into over
there factory which is a a lit and tell
them about a stalkus and they'll they'll
laugh at you what is what is talus so
you bring a proof from z IT YOU
UNDERSTAND IT'S NOT CONVENTIONAL A
PERSON PASSES ON HE PASSES
NEXT.
Am am I clear? This is this is a very
important uh idea. It's a very important
idea. And and and the truth is one
second. The truth is to to experience
this and to really feel it. Yeah. It
doesn't come from overnight. when you
learn a person's Torah, his teachings,
and you're immersed in that whole
culture and and you understand. So, so
it wasn't just that he made that
statement because um the Reb gave him a
and the Reb encouraged him to continue
saying his when he was very sick, which
is part of the video Mash is talking
about. It's because he learned some of
the Reb's Tyra and he saw the Reb's Tyra
and he saw that this MAN IS A ISA just
like he was an isha and together with
that he has these uh grandiose
ideas and and a vision of of Messiah of
of of leadership just like as Rabbi
Salvich said there and trust me there
was a giant of all giants. What did he
say after he visited the Reba in 1980
for the 30th anniversary of the Reb's
leadership? What did he say when when he
went to to Rabbi Shear? When they went
back in the car, Rab repeated this. It's
online. He said, "I knew that he was
a
but I I didn't know that he's a man,
a leader."
Oh, a man is something else.
A manic isn't just being a rash in
panovich or amir or kabad.
A manik is a visionary.
SOMEONE WHO SEE HAS A FAR look and sees
what the generation needs. Yes ma your
turn.
>> Just question you rabbit. You said
earlier in the sh.
>> Yeah. that the view the view of of what
is a reb is different than others.
So maybe in the future we could we could
speak about I'd like to hear more about
that. What
>> you know how do other groups how do
other
how do other umists
view
as opposed to as opposed to
>> Okay. Okay. It's a it's a very fair
question and definitely a good topic for
Fabangan. So we'll put it into the queue
and it meets Hashem we will uh anyone
else everyone's quiet let's hear from
Hill from Mark from Yi from Kimv why you
all so quiet
>> reb you think I mean I it's interesting
that we're learning this but I'm saying
do you think that this was the reason
why there was such a a crisis in Kabad
after the Reb died? I mean my uncle was
a physician. and he was in Crown Heights
and they had set up all these um you
know therapists all over the place. He
was one of the therapists and he was
also a radiologist and uh you know he
said nobody came like very few people
came they they you know there were
people that expected this to to create a
crisis in Kabad that that you know you
could tell because the rebel didn't have
children and and then all of a sudden
you know there's this crisis what do we
do and the whole thing that we're
learning now I could see like what you
were saying it could be misinterpreted
and not only misinterpreted but if
somebody is a lip buck is not going to
understand what we're talking about.
>> 100%.
And the reason most people didn't come
is because
as much as they as they say all these
things,
they're grounded. And and when you're
grounded,
you know, PEOPLE LIVE AND PASS ON. So to
most people,
as sad as it it was and as difficult as
it was,
we believe in Hashem and we believe in
his world and we know exactly what he's
doing. I mean, we we don't know, but we
Right. So,
and I'll make another point.
Most people most
were are not were not and are not on
it's like we're learning THIS MIMER.
THEIR FAITH is not who they are. They
have faith. This is such a but it's
imposed on them. So they love the Reb
and they do what the Reb is. But is are
they reb? Oh. And then there were a few
who I know who went into a depression.
One of them didn't come out till he
passed on. They had to pull him out of
his apartment.
And he wasn't from the you know the
known big. He was from a prominent
family.
So,
but but but and here's another point.
Those that were really connected
understood and took them time to process
that
the will of Hashem and the will of the
Reb himself is and he said it and he
says it in this mime towards the end
also. Get up and do it yourself. Enough
relying on me. And this is such an
important point and I'm telling you I'm
dealing with people today that are
kabadnik that are in counseling that are
are are having a difficulty with this
and it's like but for 40 plus years 50
years and Hill should relate to it well
and could probably talk about it more.
You're trained in a certain way. your
behavior, your your paradigm, your way
of thinking is is conditioned.
And when you're and WHEN YOU'RE RELYING
ON A PERSON IN a sense for all those
year and the person's not there, you
fall apart.
>> Yep.
>> You fall apart.
>> Exactly.
>> And you know, and the same and the same
is true when when there's a loss. I
mean, you know, the other day we had the
Tubb Noite and you know, I saw a little
bit, you know, it's like your heart it's
like, but at the same time,
you know, you have you have to go on and
not you have to go because otherwise
you'll FALL APART BECAUSE HASHEM wants
you to go on. We do we understand why?
No, but we know that that's the way it
is. So
that's a dichotomy. On one hand, there's
a sense of loss
and a sense of loss is is real. At the
same time,
one needs to be mature enough and
developed enough and refined enough to
realize that um you know mourning more
than 30 days, more than 12 months etc.
is against the Reba. By the way, the
Reba
wrote that and I told you this a few
times to a to a girl, a a teenage girl
who lost her mother
and the Reb writes, "If you mourn more
than the amount, you're going against
Hashem because Hashem says, I am in life
and I am in death."
And
that's it. That's it. And um
reliance, you understand reliance
has is a double-edged sword. On one
hand, reliance is a gaval gazak because
you're you're you're
involved with something greater if the
person or the or or the or the project
is something spiritual and and holy. But
at the same time, when when that person
is not here,
you don't fall apart.
On the contrary, what do YOU DO? YOU
SAY, "I AM THE LONG legs and long hands
of that person and I'm going to GO AND
AND SHARE THE message and and you know
and that's what the
in sense you know ha have done you know
rather than folding up. So that's my
answer to you y when you say you know
your your your uncle didn't have any
clients to come to him." It's because as
much as there was mourning there was
there was even more understanding that
hey we have a mission and but you know
generally speaking that was the Reb's
attitude that when when when people
wrote to the Reb should we cancel a
wedding should we cancel a bar mitzvah
should we cancel a happy occasion
because of AB and C generally the Reb's
answer was no again
you know you have under the
circumstances. If all of if all of Cla
is cancelling event because of October
7th and you don't, you're I'm sorry to
say you're an idiot. You know, like
you're a fool, like you're being
disrespectful.
Okay.
But but but but as far as you know, on a
personal level, on the contrary, SHOW
WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF. You really you
really feel the loss of that, then what
are you doing for him? And that's what
he's GOING TO SAY IN THIS M towards the
end. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE'S GOING TO
SAY. YOU GUYS HAVE RELIED ON ME FOR 42
YEARS. IT'S VERY very nice. You have now
you have all this now. Do something with
it. I've tried to bring Msiah. I've done
whatever I can. Didn't happen yet in
actuality. And by the way, when the Reb
said that in 1991,
28th of Niss, which we spoke about, I
think in the past, that's what he was
saying.
He wasn't giving up. He's saying from
this moment on reliance is not the
answer. You got to go out there and do
it yourself. And I think that's a very I
think that the you know those people
that say well was a smart man. Why
didn't he leave another why didn't leave
another leader? He left the leader. YOU
AND I ARE THE LEADERS.
OH, IT'S TOO HARD FOR US. NO, IT'S NOT.
You're lazy. Ah,
you do it for me, Rebby. No way. Enough
already. I've done it for you already.
We had a little fabian. Have a great
day. We'll see everyone tomorrow. Zone.
Byebye. Thank you. Thank you.
