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
