the sound of my beloved i fake knocks knocks on the door oh you know like the heart pumps cold open up let me in peace my partner my friend my wife oh peace i a me i [Music] i the previous survivor records in the name of his ancestors he was a new soul what that means exactly the rebbe explained was it means that his soul had had the hindus that every the souls will have a mashiach comes and that's why he introduced to us he introduced to us um he introduced to us see this kabob see this right he introduced us to what's see this tyra meshiach what do we learn about in the gemara and if one ox scores another ox is it 50 100 what are the rules of marriage what are the rules of divorce what are the rules of sukkah that's all things that are tangible and relevant what about the spiritual aspect of all of those mitzvahs what is accomplished when you do a mitzvah like we don't doesn't really talk about it kimara doesn't talk about it why not because it's not the realm that that's not the domain of discussion in halakha you need to find the law entitlement you need to do the analysis so that you understand the law and no one's that's not the the the the playing field of pneumous when will ponemius be important in the sense that it will be crystal clear to everyone when mashiach comes and there's many sook him to support that and midrash him so the outer ebber who was in the shadow show and that's why he he he had a special relationship with the balchemtrov although he wasn't a blood relative of the belgentov explains that ebb explains that although he wasn't a blood relative he had something even greater than a blood relative abrupt a blood relative is limited to the relationship right the alternator superseded a blood relation he was a student of the market who's a student of the belgento in other words he took from the very core essence of the bashem which even is greater than a blood relative and what did he and what did he teach schneider means man he brought it into time he brought it into reality in other words the balatanya on his mission he was charged on high from hashem through the belsham and the maggit to deliver this specific message to the world and that is why only he really got the brunt of the opposition to see this i've told you oh many times that not only he was imprisoned others sadikin were but it pales in comparison to what the altar eva went through because the the it's not just they imprisoned him because they informed him informed they informed on him that he's doing treason he's supporting the turkish government over the russians tsar government but then histamine came out and he had from the inside opposition foreign i mean i don't want to go into all the histories now that's for another time but basically he had opponents from the outside and opponents from the inside you know and like i've said in the past in a way he shares that a commonality with rab nachman of breslif well nachman ii was so opposed from the inside from his own uncle who went against him who was the bolshev's grandson on and on and on right his uncle although in the beginning his uncle was supportive of him he he he was convinced at the end that he's not going on the right path and he had other issues from the outside but the altareba epitomized it and again although i think was 27 years 22 or 27 years older than i'm nakman so you're talking about a different generation really uh and and it was the the first why why why why'd asking him i said was given the mission he was given the mission and he was told that for this mission you have to have self-sacrifice you have to be ready to basically die for this mission and doubt it ever said i accept it initially before he went to the magic he wasn't ready to do that in fact you know what he was called he was called zalman you the word salmon salmon you the lit [ __ ] and the previous ever writes that he was like the same mindset as the at the lit [ __ ] at the time that was not them at the time where if you didn't know tyler they walked across the street from you and didn't look at you and the out there never shared that but when he met the maggit and la amina he was about to he left he said i'm not ready to give away my time to dive in and for brain and spend so much time with the lab and consider them because i enjoy learning and i want to learn and i need to learn so he leaves the market and he forgot his shawl if a guy was cold he forgot his shoes he went back to get a shawl and he over the market discussing a very intricate piece of aloha with someone and he put his air closer and he and he heard fascinating insights in kahala he said if so if this rabbit this market of miss rich knows how lucky to i have what the stake for and he stayed and he stayed for three and three three and a half years and he became a talmud of the market and that itself is a fascinating lesson for us sometimes we judge the book by its cover and we never get into the book we judge people and situations by the outside and there's what to be said about that but you need to get into the book and last night at the subrainian i was sitting there and the room was packed there were probably 50 to 75 um young people po police consider not combating we had a few combatives in the room he had a captivated crowd and as the night was getting later more people came in and and if our brain was good but when i was there like you know i felt he's not giving a message that they can walk away with and to make them think in a way that maybe they should pick up a tanya maybe they should pick up a new melee melee or a caduceus levy and to learn it not just to read it but to study every word and it would cover like you study a piece of gemara that's the whole thing without it ever wanted he wanted that the learning of hasidis should be on par with nigler so no one learns a piece of gemara shall in a shallow way if they do they're not learning gemara they're reading a magazine when you learn tomorrow you need to learn rashi and texas if you really want to learn the gamut you need to learn this too right my sparrow over show him even in his old age would learn tomorrow every day and he would learn the moderation he couldn't learning without tysons with him was not considered learning because this adds such depth to the gemara and rashi that without it it to someone who's who who knows who knows how to learn and likes learning and wants to learn it's not learning now wanted the same thing with siddhis so bar hashem that many of you have the hyena and you learn and you hear rabbit gordon's you're him it's all nice but you need as you grow you know we're all young we're not old geezers we're all young you need to take time to learn a little more of the fritz to really delve into it to stop and and and ask yourself what does what does this word mean well you know like hillary asked me yesterday which you know he said is this what you said what i thought yesterday is is it this what the altareb means that type of that type of study shows that you're going deeper into it and you're thinking about it that that's what it what do i mean so going back to the outer level the alternative [ __ ] dalton is said to have composed tammy gunning this [ __ ] that i sang for you coil daddy day fake is one of the teddy goodman and basically slimer if she rashed him says this because he's talking to hashem called daddy defeat basically led me in and then he speaks about four expressions of love and relationship and all of this is explained by the way in the by martin of the altareb at length but when you think about it the concept of knocking on the door and the door being open you know when's the last time we've knocked on hashem's door really when you know those when a door is closed and you really want to get through you're not gonna door you bang on the door you go from backwards upwards frontwards to get it and this is and this is a quest of life quest of out of of of life through the the shama is to get into the paneers you know we've spoken many times about this idea of stale judaism stale tater scale yiddish kite not being fresh not being excited it comes because we're not getting through the door and and we're not knocking on the door and we're not because if we knock really and we really say let me in i must get in you'll get in i told you the other day that disgusted that bear cocaine for him not being able to go to the midfield was tantamount to death so they're telling him rebecca how could you go to the mikvah they you'll get a cold you'll have to go to the doctor the hospital and they'll find out who you are and then they will arrest you and arrest your friends and they'll kill you send you away for hard labor or shoot you and he says you have it all wrong you don't understand something if i can't go to the midfield it's like i'm dead so what's the difference if they kill me or i'm killed because i can't go to the mikveh do you understand what we're talking about we're talking about a yid that for him the mikveh is tantamount to death it's very hard to understand this and to relate to it but there is this connection where the the the gospels of life the material the physical has no importance so of course i eat and i sleep and i work and i do everything else but what's important is the penis and this is what the alterebe wanted to bring to the jewish world not only to the chabadnicks the khabad khasid it's a mistake that people make and they think that the altered had an agenda just for his own people it's wrong the safer tanya kadisha the holy tonya that he wrote and that we study was made for everyone yes it's true that he in the introduction it says that he wrote it for those that used that he used to come to him to seek advice in their in developing their love for god and all for god as it says in introduction but that's not to exclude all others those people he knew personally so he's able to give the advice that he had given them when he met with them personally face to face they put it into a book but the advice applies to everyone why shouldn't apply to everyone so they're safer tanya and this has been also supported by not only other hasidic rebbers but also by rick [ __ ] lit fox how do i tell him to take his thing off how do i tell how do i tell him to to to to mute how do i view him who who is this this is you stroll kashkin whoever is there what's real no you know what you do you go you go ready go into mute by your mute there's an arrow by your mute look on your screen there's an arrow what does it say okay it should say uh okay i'm sorry let me slow i'm sorry anyway but the point is so the alternator's message of looking for panemias is for claudius royal and this is this is very important you know you're out there in bet chemist and i i was there so i know the the lay of the land and you have such great opportunities really to share this with other friends of yours and other people you know you know last night right from these 50 to 75 people they're not herbalics and no one wants them to i'll tell you i told one of the guys sitting next to me because he mentioned this you know that he's a baker in yeshiva and he says that you know his yeshiva here they're pushing breslin and he doesn't like it then he wants to so he's now he's getting he got involved with chabad so i said you don't have to put down breast lift if you want to be khabad and you want to learn how bad show what you have learn what this idea of putting down the other is not a jewish idea and it's not a it's not a hasidish idea but anyway but he said that you know there are quite a lot of his friends that are they don't want to come to a fabrega they don't want to come to a [ __ ] because oh you want to make me so so i said to him it reminds me of what i heard from a dying here in the community big thomas he was in lakewood in the in the seventies and rabbi from my yard risen the father of the drison family who studied in the babbage and he was a mashive a very fine jew a talmud hawkham both nigler siddhis and avid davin for many hours with cavanaugh so he he was out of her brain once i think was sukis and it was a two three hundred people in the room and and he was a jew from russia venerable hussein you know the barbecue and everyone is looking at him like and he turns to them and he says rabbi if you think that my intent is to make you the barbecues he says you have it all wrong and i'll tell you why he says because we have enough laboratories in crown heights we don't need world of barbitures and then he said but if you want to see a jew who means what he says and is a god-fearing jew yiddish come see them above for that it's worth to come to crown heights but we have enough habadrics we have too many hypothetics it's a perspective i think from when i heard it i just loved this because i knew the man i i knew he was a smart man and i could see him saying it and there's so much truth to it you know and and especially today we have so many of our own and so many issues like every community we're not looking for more but if you want to know how to be a servant of hashem in a better way with ava and yira learn the tanya that's all that's all what you'll do with with that you'll decide you want to be a lit fake as far as this or that that's irrelevant and i saw this with the rebbe you should know it's true that sometimes said that but just yesterday i heard a clip where he says that's i think maestro banana was a husset i almost fell off my chair and he said it emphatically might should have pain it was a hustle i mean that's pretty bold to say that that rational beta was ah now you have to put it in the context of what the rebel was discussing at that time but the point is thousands of different kinds of people came into that but from from non-observant to observant from siddhis to literature to farting to all kinds he didn't push his agenda on someone else yes he might in in you know in the personal dialogue say something that either you know even seriously or half jokingly but there was a message there um i'll give you an example i just saw a clip the other day a guerrilla gossip comes to the river [Music] and he says to the rebel i have this issue and he gives his his uh name and his father's name that ebbet shoots back on he says that you should say to the guerra rebel here we ask for the father's name and the mo and the mother's name and the man is like what asking you for a bracha yes is it the men again when you uh when you're diving for a fool for somebody to ask for the father and the mother or just just the mother the mother just the mother i'm saying is this was a gary hussein so the rebel was telling him really you should be asking to the guarana not me i'm a laboratory rather but you know for whatever reason you're here no problem but the prophet that comes through me goes through my ancestors which is khabab so i'll be more than glad to filter abraca for you and pray for you to hashem but the system that i use you understand so is this an imposition on who he is no you're coming to me and you're asking me to do something for you i can only do it the way i could do it you understand so so the rebel over generally speaking there were exceptions okay but generally speaking he didn't impose his ways on others let's talk about a beard for example only select people at select times that that ever suggests in a refined way to put on a beard uh rabbi j.j hecht the famous heft uh of the babbage in 1940 you know in those days no one had beards the bucharan didn't have beers there was it was there was america 1940s you had a beard i told you one of my rebbies who came back from atlas it was a terrible dust helmet and came back and he grew a beard and he told me they were honking on him like in the street like a goat is walking in the street that was the culture in brooklyn in the 1940s so robert gets a position as yes hillary um was that a kind of anti-communist sentiment do you think or largely or no i i i i i not in brooklyn new york i i don't think i don't think okay no that was just modernity i mean you know from from 1880s when jews started to come over i mean everything was going downhill the modernity anyway so so um sorry is his hat is is hired as a rabbi in his flatbush he gets a job he was uh 23 years old a young man and he was a dynamic speaker and he's going to start his career you know that was the salary the work that he did for uh release time was voluntary you know for america's for chabad and the previous you never said to him i think you'd be appropriate now that you're becoming a rabbi to grow a beard he didn't tell him you have to he didn't say if not you can't come in to see me again he explained to him that since you're now becoming a rabbi of a congregation and you represent now something greater than yourself and he listened and and and so there were there are examples over the years you know uh there was a jew mr barrel weiss who i knew from los angeles he was a hungarian jew the hungarian jews didn't have beards before the satmar rebbe and the kleisenberg arabic came to williamsburg and and they and they said we have to you know live like hasidim hungarian with the beards and then the kapottas and and and the strider um they didn't do that for years they didn't do that and slowly they changed their their people ways of of of dress and culture so a barrel wise was a hungarian any any any and first he was with the sophomore and then through rubber right you go to show him he was introduced to the rebel and he became oh as we say in guinness a passionate it doesn't mean that he didn't give money still to support he did but his allegiance went over to to to to the babbage and he was beardless and you would see him behind the rabbit and he would give the rabbit many times to check a blank check and say write out as much whatever you want and he was really really committed but he was beardless for years one time i think he was in the 80s yeah it was in the 80s he pierces the rabbit and there ever says to him something about the virtue of the 13 attributes of mercy you give us that desire says it's associated with the beard at that time he decides he wants to grow a beard and he grew a long beard then he went to illinois that way you understand that evan didn't tell him you know you're now the bobacher you have with your grandchildren you're you're giving you're supporting the institutions no it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't look good for you to not have a beard that wasn't just yes hello i just want to say the only time i was ever at a for bringing with the rebbe so the person i was with me the the the whole room everybody's dressed the same except the rebbe is there and then there's three sits right next to him and so my person asked me says who who do you think those are three wives three people like dressed like businessmen on uh and that's where i sort of figured out uh you know but but the point i'm making and and it all goes back this me could that why uh the reason i'm spending a little time on it is because it goes back to the alternative okay now this needs to be you know it can be abused very easily oh i'm not a panini uh i'm a because i'm a plea me i'm not going to do a b c and d because i'm not holding there yet if you mean that sincerely kolkavot but if you you're using that as an excuse for your coarseness and your indulgences and you want to do whatever you want to do forget it then you you're not penis you're the biggest pizza you're the biggest superficial false liar that there is and you're using khabad and the altaremba to justify your stick you know so the line between real polymeous non-real kinemas is a very very thin line and this is what we need to be careful about yes your name really so this is a question that i don't know maybe i asked the last yard site the previous art site but i don't remember the answer okay um when we when you know they talk about right so the father of of uh of kabbalah right was with shimon right yeah and then we we see in in lukewarm that uh rabbi nachon you know he talks about whether he's a guild goal of ruby shimon and we know there's other guild golem when it comes to you know these type of things and these types of sadiq with with uh the balatanya did he ever refer to himself in that way that he's the guild goal of something never nothing never ever will you find such language i mean the father of you know modern day almost everything i mean like you know i mean you know you have the balchem right but you know besides the balshanto of like no i'm not going to say that it's exclusive there basically basically there were like four main hasidic branches if that that were the the forerunners of alcohol citizens carlene stalin okay the stalinist has the carliners big group um chabad breslift and chernobyl toner chernobyl all that right the mag the the the you know so you have those four are you are the four forerunners who led the way from the market remember the chernobyler was was was the oldest student of the market and the balatanya was the youngest student okay what i said earlier was that no one got the pressure and opposition like the balatanya did and i explained why because of his tanya and his this style of car citizen so yes in the interrogation papers they they say they call they don't they don't say chabad they call them carleener because the khan leader preceded the the what's it called even the maggot the opposition to the bashamtive has to do with the car leader what happened because at that time in the bhagat's time the uh kalisker khasidim of who was a student of the maguire and when territory his hasidim belittled what you would call orthodox judaism lit [ __ ] judaism and they would make summer sources and they would go into a store of grocery and asked how much if they could buy nails they wanted to be little intellect because they felt that the lit fox are emphasizing just intellect so they wanted to shatter intellect how do you do that by humiliating yourself and it was really embarrassing so they came running and the market said stop and his expression was at 1770. this happened in 1770 is nish kane toke which the yiddish word tok means it's not a it's not a big it's not a big deal it's not to be appreciated the hasidi of 1770 the matter of which they embarrassed and belittled they must knock them the lich fox is not to be followed and this caused a lot a lot of problems the carolina were also part of that group maybe not as intense as the color scare but so in the interrogation papers of the balatanya you'll see the reference the hasidim is not khabad it's not chernobyl and it's not breslift it says carleener you can read it it's been translated into hebrew probably into english also originally done in heat in england yes you understand that the boldness of the labor was the newcomer they couldn't have been available what you're saying is is correct but you only asked me if this type of language is found in chabad and the answer is no and and i think by now you know not just from you know experiencing khabar all your years uh but learning hasidis seriously as you've been doing for years that the whole approach of of chabad is bitter is is is obliteration of self in other words in simple english don't take yourself too seriously you know and i'm telling you again i go back to last night because it was you know i was there but i was also like i like to observe and i see all these young people and it's so heartwarming but i'm looking and i'm listening to the speaker who's a real chabotnik you know and you know in he's a mashipia and i'm i'm trying to hear it the way these other young kids and teenagers and and buckler and mccoy go like how did they hear what he's saying i'll tell you it's very foreign it's very foreign because the the you know for example this mashipia was talking about you know how chunked and kukul is not where it's at i don't have to tell you but you know for these people having cuckoo on shabbos is is is equivalent to darkening the healer you know really i'm being serious the whole avoid of of eating you know and again our rappers make sure to have three couples when we take out three shapes of free torah are you a rapper are you at that level that they that you know but that's that's their thinking that's their upbringing the khabaro bringing is radically different the the the the obliteration of self and kind of the the pushing out of self and ego to an extreme is only in chabad i'm not saying other hasidic movements don't have it they have it but not as intense as in chabad i'm telling you from from the ground as i was taught in yeshiva's bite of yo khan mahmoud that melitz feeble and other jews who heard from the previous generation and sometimes i listen you know to others speaking and i say why why do we have to kind of you know speak in a way that we don't give any room for ego because knowing that the people are not coming from that perspective i'm not sure that it means anything to them and and sometimes they don't appreciate it and they'll be distanced you know maybe if you give more room for someone's ego and someone's a and someone's um creativity you you you'll have a better result yes my [ __ ] yeah i just i i wasn't quite following what you just said about giving room for ego i i didn't quite follow that i'm sorry but what i mean in khabar there's always talk about beetle and bitter and bitter right what does brittle mean means get out of the way your your yes your ego and what i'm saying is that the other cultures and other pacific groups they don't they they don't they don't learn that way they don't feel that way of course you have you have to be a servant to hashem but the mindset is look i'm here i have what to offer i'm important you know so it's a very different it's a very different attitude let me let me say this when i conclude robby raichik all of a sudden i've told you this but i want to make the point again he once was going for the previous rep he was traveling in the united states to different communities rural communities to talk to the in the shows about either skype and they ever called them in and they ever said when you take a a train you should be a first class not in second or third class they had different classes in the trains because it's not you going it's i go i'm going and i represent the alta rebbe and the schneerson's royalty he didn't say all that but that's what he meant and for america but raichuk who was relocalists this was the hardest thing for him but the rabbit said and he followed and years later where do i find him sitting in the shul in the los angeles school yoni which only knows you know on la brea up front on the front table okay robbie reichik you think he's in the back on the side you know i'm assuming but the rabbit told him in 1949 that he should travel always first class because he represents the rapper because he's a shaddaar he's a look at their abandon he parks himself on the front table although when you look at you talk to him he's eagerless you know he can barely hear him so much i'm answering myself maisha wake up i'm answering your point that that that this type of thinking is i'm telling you it's it it's foreign it's firing because it's not the way these hasidim and eden are trained in their yeshivas i'm not saying they're trying to be big shots i didn't say that but this whole culture of of being a vocal the yesh and that you know because when you learn you realize that the world is is a big zero unless you put a one in front of it and so therefore how can you take yourself seriously how can you take it so seriously when you know that you're so there's so much more to do you know that's the naked so hebrew [Applause] right after his mother's name should be a good to better for all of us shoping for shalamus you're into your father and and and to uh avi's mother and to all of our parents and siblings and children and grandchildren and to remember and to remember what i heard from the rebber this birthday when i came out of the oil and i looked at the screen i had yeshidas that's right even though the rep is in heaven and i'm on earth but looking at that screen i had a private audience i come in and there ever says that you must have children and and and your children are the continuation and therefore even health and wealth kaya and mazayna are irrelevant if you don't have continuation children and i'm thinking that babachi rebbe you don't have children so the answer is spiritual children for those that god didn't give them give them children and i was thinking about my children uh driving on the belt parkway to the ohil and then kind of went in and did what i had you know daven and i came out this is what i heard from the rebel so i wish each other that we sh our children our grandchildren should continue not only our legacy but really what we came to believe and to know and to learn and and and and on their own without us you know having to force them and to impose on them you know i i this morning i went to schuler right now and i i sat in the side there and someone comes over and he says today is about tanya's yard side he asks me i said yes you don't have to say anything he sees me he sees a little barbecue so he knows he thinks today is the balatonia's yard site he doesn't ask the soccer he doesn't ask the vision sir he doesn't ask the carolina he goes over to the habatlike you don't have to say anything if you're doing the right thing what does it say the bashant of like light because light attracts so we wish each other that we should do the right thing and the babies of it will they know what they need to do they'll do the right thing as long as we don't put a stumbling block in the way the word for stumbling blocking yiddish in hebrew yiddish is kalyan don't ruin it you know that's the problem we stick our ugly faces in the way with our we know better and we know how and this yeah and it's not just get out of the way all right have a great day everyone thank you have a good day
