okay good afternoon
everybody we are headed
now
to
is what polish jew does not recognize
the following name
s sov was recognized far beyond its
borders even though there were hundred
of towns throughout
Poland but there was something unique
about
Sak the court the of the Rebus certainly
contributed the rebas being the Borstein
his son of schm Borstein but
traditionally historically sakov always
had success with its Rabon even though
it was a small town they had rabim like
ha
Ra was the brother of the Shak they had
the great r r ashkanazi the author of
the
P
the other
the was uh in s and it's assumed that
run also came to S to learn with
the one of the reasons why Sak was so
successful in its flourishing
spiritually is that it allowed its
rabim it allowed its rabim to conduct
the Yesa in s and the whole city
participated in supporting the B of the
Yesa so it became the culture of the
city to support Tyra to establish Tyra
and this was a unique custom where the
ranam of the city were allowed to
conduct theiva and the whole city
participated but when rabo
RAB is R Borstein when he came to S he
infused a force of attraction all the
sharp Minds throughout Poland are
attracted to S what was special about
rabal ra ra Borstein was a son-in-law of
the katar K is a
unique
it it
minimized it trivialized the cost
the externalities in kusk it was always
about search for truth adherence to
truth self-introspection not fooling
oneself it was sort ofus like the muser
movement it was a very rare form ofos a
very grueling and demanding form of
kidos and then
Rab's method of learning
where took the sharpness and the
scholarship of
the and was able to combine the the mus
the search for truth of Kat and the
analysis of gar and this produced a
combination of
unique mixed with li it was one of the
most vibrant
alive and elevating forms of the
combination of
and that was in s the greatest mind
throughout Poland came to s for example
Rua the the
kar came to learn
from even litx came to to learn from the
they so to speak put aside the fact that
he was
he they had they were forced to
acknowledge that he was the
greatest of all the and what's
interesting is in the same
way became the acclaimed P of in the uh
in Lithuanian World so to the ABA became
the PO in Poland so this is a little bit
of the background of Sak but it became
almost a brand
so traditionally if you went to a rebba
the rebba would spend time with you hear
you out talk to you abar was very uh
Swift with those who sought his advice
he says every minute that it takes away
from his learning is uh is something he
can't give up so he established a court
but it was really Geared for and those
who are very knowledgeable in Tyra ever
if Aid came and uh theid so to speak
felt like he wasn't valued enough
because he wasn't he did not excel
in said look don't feel bad don't be
don't be hurt he would say that if you
conduct yourself honora honorably and
honestly it's like you're learned this
was the Supreme value in Sak it was a
strive for truth both in personal
conduct and in
Li and it was the Envy of all of Poland
so they began to
establish throughout Poland people
didn't even know anything about s all
they knew was if you want honesty in
conduct honesty in discipline honesty in
learning then you needed to establish a
s Style
so for example if uh you were looking
for a son-in-law or you wanted you had a
mischievous son and he needed a friend
or you needed a rebi the best place to
search was always in the in
the to have some kind of flavor and
taste of the style of learning and
discipline that they they conducted
themselves in s by the way we mentioned
the Yesa in s but in the end of R's life
he was very ill we're going to see he
had very weak lungs he had a very
terrible
cough but when uh R's son the sh is took
over and especially when he
employed the
K the Yesa in s became one of the most
popular yeshivas in
Poland Sak and sakov life was really
destroyed in World War I and at that
pointu the Shu moved the
court to ludge and later to
Zagar but they always called it
Sak doesn't matter where they went they
could have been in any City in Poland it
always retained the trademark name and
The Branding of Sak after R passed
away ridel the oldest son of became the
rebba and he was in different cities he
first he was in wizr and later in atak
but wherever thisas moved it always
maintained the name s which was
synonymous and reflected the unique
combination innovated by
the R barnstein Who combined the
rigorous self-discipline of Kut and His
Brilliant tamic analysis and this became
one of the most vibrant brands ofos in
all of
Poland
it's we're going to go to the Mak and
the sh ISM uh
