#4a explanation of Zalman clip Who Criticized him Wore Kapote as Student Very Independent

so just to continue what i was saying before uh as part of the uh clip number four the fact that uh his friends criticized him you could see like a solomon posner and uh sean bear gordon would would give it to him over the head like what's max what are you wasting your time you're getting uh uh beckasha and you're putting on a becca share a bucket and obama doesn't wear a beckasha and salma didn't care you know so what does this tell you about him just tell you that he he he's a he's an independent he's what we call hebrew atsuma'i he doesn't care about what others say and and this is part of the issue that we're confronting here the on one hand the the ability and strength to do what you believe is right on the other hand it's not the messiah it's not your the tradition it's like you're trying to be better smarter and holier than any everyone else you know they come from from you know the babbage background parents grandparents there is a messiah and baklam don't wear you know long backishes in base madrid and you dafka do so this is early 40s before he before he married before he went to new haven before he went to rochester before we went to falls river before before you know this is like from the very beginning and this is why i say that zalman came in to libavich as an independent person and he remained that way and he it classical terminology he didn't allow his yesh to be broken okay now it doesn't mean that he's a he's a bad guy that's not the point but the the basic uh ethos of chabad lubavitch is bikwa yesh you know kabbalah soil subservience humility and i think this this the story that he shares as you know one liner and we just pass over it with the sir took is very telling of who he was and that is why a man like rabbi from elijah they probably they didn't they wouldn't criticize him so he felt comfortably that's why he says to them i could i would talk i felt comfortable but to jeremy jacobson or them shmuel or someone like that forget it they're going to you know give it to me over their head that i'm a kitson i'm superficial so i think this is another very important thing to think about
