Yud Kislev 2022 #1- History, Misnagdim, Chasidim - Lessons for today

so really a day like today you'd kiss live the one that should be for bringing is rubber 11. why because this is truly a celebration that began in Russia and for most of the years it wasn't a Russia and it's really the way I grew up the feeling was that the Russian Sid them you know they they they they they really have this feeling for youth kisler so really he should be talking but you always want you know some some guests okay that's one of the last name the whole time was one country [Laughter] I want to just uh some factual things historical things just a few tidbits to get to know to know what the day is about because when you celebrate something and you want it to have a grandmother set up a Paola a result you need to know what's the place and from there you can extrapolate and see how it applies to us in our lives so briefly very briefly what happened on youth kiss lift was the following the middle of the Epic of Dave bed who was a son of the altered the outer rabba Three Sons parenthetically why is it called the mythlete the rabbit why is it called the mythlete so during the lifetime of the Third labability they called him the rebel they referred to his father-in-law as the middle one the Middle Earth that's the Yiddish word being middle and the out and the balatanya the one who started Chabad movement as their outer red that's how the name came to be known as mittler okay in other words during the lifetime of the military but they didn't call him the mid whatever they call them did Epic anyway so between the three brothers he was the middle one he was the oldest so the middle of replaced the outer rabbit that itself does the story is upon stories and details but the chemists you know we got to focus on the Middle River so when after became an epic and he led his Sid them throughout greater Ukraine and Russia all over why Russia whatever that whole region he emphasized very much several that could several points one was the Deep study of hasidus not just the study this in a cursory way which means what I called in today's English vernacular Couch Potato reading we laid down on a couch it's very comfortable and you take a safer or a book and you read that's very good and very it's very important but that's not what he was talking about he's talking about what we call in the Isla Matata to be my iron on the lotion of Chabad Das to use do me a favor turn your phones off please Das Das means to delve deeply into something that's thus not to just take it at face value but why and how and where that's a whole different method of study you're all educated you know that that is real study that mentally never wanted of his system and us who are extension of his that when we study this because it is in particular that's the way they should we should study to this I was telling my wife I remember I reminded myself I do a subject of a brain so I was thinking about different things I heard in Yeshiva about the middle it ever so there was a vote there but Khan told us and and he really you know if I bring about this nakoda and maybe later we could talk about it more but this was the following after the maybe rev 11 has heard this but this is what he said and he heard it from a classic what learned in the Babbage and he was a Muslim they called him a Muslim means he was like good and everything he knew gumara he knew how to sing and he knew how to speak well he was a Muslim that's what he called a Muslim he was known bear later he came there to snow and it was a love in Tel Aviv and not on the Babbage my father actually would hear him sometimes give a home has a reminder the way it has her mind was like he would he would get up like he's giving a thrush and he was causing of my Mercedes and he was a very gifted person so a child bear said like this that he heard you understand he was born in the late 1800s so he might have even heard Still from sympathetic I'm not sure in the middle of anyway this is what he heard mashiach time said when when we're designed when will it be mashiach's time when the Bible will learn hasidis [Music] the way others learn a piece of gamada and what did he mean not not dismissed but he meant that everyone wants to stick with commodity who doesn't learn a piece of Gamora is anyone doesn't learn a piece of gamot so you know the average kind of learning is you learn you know right then people should learn it but you know it's not eon the mythology them said mashiach will come when the Godless is so great and how did they identify the greatness of the golos the US the babadook see them will learn see this the way we we learn a piece of gamada which is without depth and Eon and of course people learn to think about it Ian but it's it though don't take the words you know what that means don't extrapolate and understand what he's getting at the greater idea that the study in other words the study of potato be it give mother and be it Sid this has to be be ill and if it's not be here it's not deep that's ghosts if you already told us this you know we are these young American little snookalak you know little Bakr will like ice cream popcorn and baseball so explain to us that that learning considers requires if you go deep into it delve into it the ankus Das Das it's right what is this not just understanding it's death death in English the word would be focus and concentration to focus on something to concentrate not just to know the information not just to understand the information but that the information becomes part of you because you focused on it you concentrated so going back to the middle of that but the middle and ever wanted that the system should learn to see this be ill another thing that he wanted was that sedim should be proud of being considered are you going to ask what does that mean without that but didn't want to be proud of me you all know that the alterable was imprisoned because he was informed on by what at the time was called Miss Magnum the Rebecca says there's no one must not them today so if the devil says it sees us right it is that way we have literature but we snapped him that ever said that period is finished but in the time of day after that but wasn't finished was Vindicated the next nine days for today your test Kiss Live everyone knows the haga deal about the yutus live but there was still an aftermath you know when something is finished it doesn't just end it lingers on and takes a quite a long time for it to be completely over that that's the way nature is well the same thing was here and consider him the Bible just said them although was Vindicated it still wasn't uh very Rosy okay a lot of stories about that but this is definitely not the time to talk about that it's not relevant but I want to just bring out one the good it's one point the point is that the middle it ever said when I read this for the first time I it just blew me away then I imagine you know about this one ever told us to them if you're having issues and other shoes make your own shoe if they must knock them are driving you nuts and not letting you say you're Noosa and everything else don't fight with them make your own issue and I I never heard such a thing for the alternative but the the Middle River at that time it was necessary because it was still a hangover okay a hangover from the times of the alternative when when after the autism passed away he was increment shook in Ukraine now after that but passed away was buried in haddish it's far away why wasn't clever because he was sent there to raise funds by the altered why do they need funds they need funds because uh his house doubted up his house was burnt down and many other homes because Napoleon took Revenge as we know everyone knows he wanted to have something with the out to that even the light of McAfee's after ever made sure he shouldn't get it so he took revenge and he decided I'm gonna burn and Destroy either sure houses left and right so it was very difficult now to representative which was a larger City with more established Yiddish kite Etc and over there she raised money but I'll never passed away and he wasn't there he wasn't there the stalkers and when he passed on so now the question is what's going to happen where is it gonna go there's nothing down to that but at that time lived in liade right and he ran away from me at these so what is it going to go back to leiladi the house of the altarapa is destroyed the place is a wreck if we'll get to the game so I Nash from different places from different cities from bitepskin others places they came to the alternate but we wanted it to the middle of that but they said we want you we want you here but hey Mr be your hour never right like you imagine that that was here comrade but come to Kensington borrow proximal Canterbury Park everyone will say Philadelphia Pennsylvania that was in Clinton Heights uh but you know the the the hasid would like that so especially if you're if you're running away you don't have a so I also I my wife and I were talking about this today why did the middle ever choose Leverage so there's two two gift sites I I don't know why Frida kadapa says it's because of this fiduca says it's because yeah in a dream and he said I when I was 10 years old I learned with rabi soccer Battle of the Babbage in this house in the Babbage it was raised there was no house there was a lot of lead a lot of land and he said go to the Babbage build over their house and make the center of the Babbage in Lubavitch and that's why the mythology ended up in labavage some other stories of Two Brothers late you know but that's what I read today the same that's why he chose Lubavitch over vintaps and some other places where people wanted him to come but you can walk the body which of enough guilt a beloved needs money to build a building this big building without guilt and Alum has in this world you don't have money you don't go that's the way it is so Sydney gave money I simply gave money I don't want to get there's so many things to talk about but I heard from Satan for a man to put the fast and others my sweaters I heard from them how by when ahasset needed something especially I read the it wasn't an issue in other words everyone gave money that's not even a question but you know because the money look at really by accident by the real system was it's not my money foreign thought it was his money he got it I'll tell you a story that my Shredder told me just waste the mission he told me this himself this is what he told me there was a family can't bring a mental foot of us was a known custody came here he was sitting in fabrina and my friend says he sold his own eyes a middle of a brain get a turns to us good friend talking about a good friend of his and he says Usher like I've had to get the girl doesn't this Usher put your money down on the table now gave to duck and he and he told me to remember him but you know empty out your pockets you need to be able to bother your devil told us I think one of the fabrangians empty your pockets my father was no late it was tough Shin tough shinled the the car right for the outer ever the 200 is 100 years with the represent everyone should should empty their pockets my father was working he got married you know in 1960s a few years after and his friends it's a spring in other words good Havana for marriage Israel as they come they say you make money this week they gotta they never wants you to empty your pockets and give it to them but he says I'll give you some money but I can empty my pockets it wasn't it's not easy it's not easy it's not easy that's another that's another across it but in in Russia the system were trained that the money they had but that cloud I'm just showing you that it's not that everyone you know everyone has a struggle to give away money it's a very it's a very hard thing you know but the Russian Christian were trained in Ruslan that the guilt the money's not theirs they have now they have some money Israel also told me that he learned how to give to Dhaka from his from his uncle at mental foot of us how to how did he told me I asked him how he said I'll tell you that men who taught him that all the money belongs to the river the if you need a little money to eat than your family you take a little money and he said that's the way he lived this wasn't just lip service the mental and a mental made good money in the black market and he raised a lot of money I mean he did very well for himself everything went to Tampa so much so when he raised the money when he really wasn't hurt too slow they came here it came he traveled around to race with matul Kathleen and other Russian concerts for the Yeshiva over there whatever and the beginning when he came so he said who guessed it said give us the money you're raising money give us the money and we'll use it he said I'm not giving you the money the money gave some bread and the rabbit will decide who and how gets the money and he didn't give them the money he gave the money to the red blood this is what I heard and then Apple did what he had to because they came complaining we don't have sidewalks you know you're raising money give us some money to have sidewalks he said that's up to the lab if that ever wants you have a sidewalk and give you money for a sidewalk he'll do it if not you're not getting the money they had a different way of looking at money really they really did they really did Michelle once told me another things I remember you know just since we're talking about this topic of money it's important sometimes to to just to spell it out I said once told me one needs a great Merit as the Neighbors on them from their guilt that the devil should take from your money because he would send that my mid money to support the river and I think it was quite large amounts of money over the years and you know he he had to be on the client at the time it should go directly to the debit he didn't want any secretaries organizations the money is for the rebel and that ever decides what to do with the money anyway let's go back to the Midland because that's the so the middle of that so they have to raise money and they gave sit and gave money so then how much they gave they gave 35 000 ruble had asked in a letter to repentance roses time that he and if flame erases as they and initial Freitas and another classic raises a brother or brother-in or whatever should raise the funds and they raise funds Pinterest razors passed away on the pavage while the middle of ABBA was was still alive and he had a relative who was a snagit who didn't like siddhu he still didn't get over it and his name was Sim I think was his name and he said oh you're raising money huh 35 000 we changed and he wrote instead of 35 he put a koof a hundred of Hebrew letter kuf which is 100 before the 35s okay about 135 000 135 000 Ruble and then say he went with someone another another they went to the governor general and they said this is trying to really rebel against you the Russian government desire and he's also sending money to the sultan turkey which was the enemy of Russia yeah Lazar and he concocted me as he made up this cancer Bubba Meister but you know he submitted his papers and that's how the interrogation began this is the story okay until recently about 20 30 years we thought that the the whole story was several months but in 1997 it was mushroom because there's something like that they found the the tick the the entire uh the uh the archive of the entire episode of the middle and ebb and everything I'm telling you much more and over there it was realized that it actually started in 1825 it finished in 1827 so it was two years not three four months two years but luckily there's a lot of details but just luckily they didn't put the middle of that in prison they let him be in house arrest because he proved and you know that he's he's the Sadiq is a an up a person that's a nice person and the Governor General accepted it so but but but the interrogation has to be done once it's submitted you have to check it out you have to see what's going on so he was in house arrest so during house arrest he was able to say say this and he said my mother but nevertheless it was surrounded by guards and it was uh it wasn't a pretty situation middlet wasn't the best of health so what happened our youth kissliff is that he was Vindicated it was proven suffered brought him the end result was that he didn't have 135 000 rubley I'd only have 35 000. and he didn't violate the laws the Russians the desires rules that a rabbi is not allowed to take is not allowed to put pressure on congregence on umbrella Batum to give money because he gets a mosquitoes he gets a a salary and that's it that was the rule of the time you get a salary any pressure on about a bus to give you money is a violation of government law so he proved that he didn't do that and and many other things and he was Vindicated and from that day um so that was in 1827 1827 and 18 uh 26. and the next year a day before he he they were going to celebrate them and with the rep and the youth kids live he passed away tests on the same day that he was born today Shabbos like today no it wasn't on the Shabbos but I don't think it wasn't a Shabbos no but I could upon him so the first year it was Assad and they didn't celebrate in the next year they celebrated so how many years is it 194 years that we are celebrating youth kiss 194 years I always say to my Javelin Boro Park the other hidden I want you to show me another cities that to say that we celebrate an event of a rebel a 194 years consecutively or orthodever even longer the pedigree the the the tradition of the Babbage of Chabad of this siddis is is real it's not you know like is it up and hungry and all of a sudden he starts to become a rabbit and so some people come that's a good disaster of all the gazakh it's great but you're talking about something very different for citizen the Russian citizen you know what the fox citizen are the Russians see them Carlene Sterling Carlene Stalin right breast live Chernobyl and Le badge those are the four Russians there's public and hungarians before Russell said them and four Russian groups go back a long time but within those groups itself let's see what I'm not blessed right didn't leave a didn't leave a a relative to to be a rabbit instead of nothing his talmud became and we have right they are good but I'm saying this tradition Seven Days Seven Generations this is Lubavitch I'm just that you know that's what I'm saying before you have to sometimes be proud there's a time for pride and not that someone else is no good has to show them everyone's good call them everyone's beloved but when you when you become a laboratory you you when you all about it you say no you're coming to a to uh a living organism of Isla babish this isn't as we say in Hebrew Khan it just it came out of the blue it didn't come out of the blue so this is good kiss live and and today 194 years later I was also thinking to my wife about this what are we celebrating like I don't on one hand I don't understand what was celebrating it I'll tell you what I don't understand maybe around 11 has a an Insight but I think it's pretty but my question is this that mythical and apple wasn't in prison he was life was not in danger nope doubt that ever was he was able to say sickness so what's what's the big what's the big celebration that someone said that was also it says we went to Petersburg he was also in but this they didn't make uh and by the way I would obey him until the freed the Caribbean there was only three times a year that Asha bread you'd kiss live you test Kiss Live and put him looking okay to show them the the that's the three times huh because Taylor wasn't it yeah of course Tiger but that was anyway yeah so why what so this what I realized this this answers something that people ask why do we celebrate let's say those Traders kissed a few weeks ago the river became felt better he walked he left 770 excuse me it's now tough what are we celebrate like this question is asked many times and what's the answer but pastors the answer is you celebrate Lincoln's birthday and George Washington will have to have the label that's that's percussion but also had foreign it's real to this to him and therefore the fact that it is gesund is not relevant right right now of course it is because it is a simcha that your neighbor's gazunt whether he was gazunt he is gazunt but you're celebrating that that became presumed the middle of that but 194 years ago had a gaula so we celebrate this and this is a different way of thinking this is not what we call Western thinking Western thinking is going to thinking Harvard thinking Yale thinking College thinking yeah thinking and especially citizenship thinking is a very different way you don't think about things the way you think about uh you know things that happen in the world that it says in this science journal and in this mathematics book that's not the way I eat things but cloud and definitely not the way a Hassan thinks how does a closet think we'll talk about that soon fine no [Music] each other [Music] again [Applause] [Music] again [Music] please foreign [Music] foreign [Music] in the name of this evening [Music] my day is [Applause] [Music]
