he comforts us he consoles
us and yes my dear javed and friends
we need the comfort with the tragedies
that
claudius row has endured all these
months since the
aimer and till the recent
building collapsed in surfside florida
there's no better time for menachem of
to be menachemos to have the
comfort from hakodesh baruch from god
almighty himself
not from angels not from
celestial beings not from stars
from god himself but i do want to
continue today
a little bit and connected with uh
talking about rabbi
pinchas corfer pinakorf
but the historical side to an event that
happened in 1983
it's not a comfortable event but it
needs to be discussed
and we need to derive a lesson from it
so in 1983
during this period these months
these weeks some
some unrefined people
belonging to the malachim
or or and satmar
did some horrifying things to various
chabad people
who were teaching hasidis and tanya
to supper
students who had a interest
a genuine interest in
knowing hasidis
it wasn't about becoming a laboratory
although that that was the perception
the perception and the lie
was that we want to make them
into the babaji seed and we want to
steal them
from their parents and their rabbis and
their community
and i know this because i heard a tape
from a laboratory who
speaks to a sophomore asking
and he he tells him how could you have
done
how could you your community have done
this to a jew like rabbi pinakorf
and he says it in yiddish veda is
do you know who he is
it is khabad it is
he's a jew of truth and honesty
and they caught him
teaching tanya was a setup it was a
frame
he taught tanya in someone's store in
williamsburg
and the students
relative actually set it up
and the student the soccer student was
unaware of it
and they came in in middle and they
grabbed them and they shore off
they cut off part of the pina's
beard and then
it was publicized in the chabad magazine
and rapina went to the rebel
and he stood before the rebel for
abraham
his cut with his partially sheared beard
could you imagine the humiliation
but repenia took it as a sign from
heaven
if this happened to me he said it's a
sign
i needed it to happen to me
otherwise hashem god would have never
allowed it to happen
over the last few years i heard that
one of the individuals who did this to
him
asked him for forgiveness
this individual i believe
is sitting in jail today for other
issues
and before
he was sentenced i guess he
understood himself
that he needs forgiveness from their
opinion
so that god might will have mercy and
not have him be guilty
and sit in jail and i was told that pina
said to him i
am michael you i forgive you but you
have to you should go to the oil and ask
the rabbit
why because i was teaching tanya as a
laban of the laboratory
and there are him so you didn't offend
me you offended them so ask them for
michela
assume he did it i don't know for sure
but i assume he did it
now this was a very tough period
between satmar lupovic which i've
documented in my book
satmar and labavich
amongst other things showing that the
satmar reber of the oil title bound
was not as anti-zionist as the world
makes him out to be
and he was a very clever person and he
had a real good relationship with the
that's right you heard me right loud and
clear
it's the and the rebbe said it himself i
think in 1984
khalamoid pesach i believe to rabbi
yellows
and it's in the book i published i
printed it there that ebba said
that myself and the rebel we we're fine
it's our hasidim who are building up
this you know
fight so ladies and gentlemen
it's it's we're middle of the three
weeks it's a difficult time
this happened in the past almost 40
years ago
38 years ago or 37 years ago
was so much later
so many things have changed now
we need to learn from the opinion
who didn't take it personally you see
when something happens to us
something happens to jews in a building
that collapses
you could look at it and say god where
are you what are you doing
and god forbid question god
or you could say
and around was silent
no talking no questions we don't
understand
god's ways but what we do know
is that whatever his ways are are the
right ways
so therefore we pick ourselves up
by the girdle we pick ourselves up
by the loins we pick ourselves up
with our heart and mind and we
say that it's menachem of and
the the redemption the salvation will be
so much greater because it's coming
from the father himself and a father
loves his children may god help us
that we have only observable
joy that ebba always says
it's good to have good things but if
they're concealed
that's not what we're looking for we're
looking for better neither
goodness that is observable that's
vinegar
and revealed hashem help that we have it
on our day
in our days with the shabbos
[Music]
observation because
