this is clip number
nine of the salmon interview that i did
with him in 2010
a very important clip
here he clearly says when
was his transition point
when he kind of left the babic
to other ways
of thinking
so i'd like to a little background
you know there's uh there's another
part to a person's life it's called the
personal
the familial the wife the husband
the mother the father the children the
community
the alma doesn't really go into that at
great length
but uh i know quite a bit about that
and not everything's for public
information however
when a person is having
issues in various other areas that we
just identified
then it becomes natural to convince
yourself
that you're transitioning because
of an intellectual decision
or a revelation or in this case
he became aware of the death street see
scrolls and he read about it
interestingly finds out there's other
cultures and they're going to get lost
i'm asking you a question you listener
why until
until now until that moment why wasn't
he interested
in the other cultures of the aid of some
israel the
[Music]
and from rhineland everything that he
says on the cliff why
because something was at the time
missing in his relationship with
lebavich
that's that's to me obvious and
because of that you seek other pastures
other fields
and they took him to a place which was
way beyond
the orthodox jewish rhineland ash musa
nas yemen culture that's all orthodox
that's all torah that's all from
zalman went to other fields he talks
about the women
and he says that the previous rebbe
you know tells us stories showing how
important the women are and part of the
tradition and
may even make decisions
thank you very much that does that equal
uh women singing koilisha no
does that does that does that equal
removing the mojitsa
no
so obviously when he talks about
transition i would say
it was a transition transition that was
long overdue
and that rob zalman even from his days
and he says he speaks about his culture
of vienna
the gymnasium the music
the uh learning of latin i mean all he
was a very
very cultured so that was his business
his base
at 12 years old 13 years old 14 years
old and he brings that to the table
in 38 when he meets
you know these group of people that have
been included then he starts learning
and then he comes
to america and he becomes a yeshiva
student in 770.
if i may say so it seems to me
that he didn't completely eradicate
those issues that were contrary to tita
okay he built on them
and substituted them for a long while
with everything he learned he says i
think on this clip of i click before he
says
the uh rabbonim
the fav the ra the the the the wormy
uh rabbis that the fried cabbage talks
about you know in the 40s in america
how they were eating treyfuss non-kosher
and teaching children in talmud toras
right
and he says if you listen carefully says
and i was behind that
in other words i was thinking that same
way
he was thinking that same way
while the ride was a smooth one
as soon as it got rocky for whatever
reason
and it got rocky
then you find other outlets
so meeting uh meeting people who
you know are intellectual and bright and
have different ideas that's fine
and then and he says you know i i hung
out with them they became my buddies
to be my spear but he says also to be
mushpa
this is because it's inevitable not to
be infect
affected now what i mean it's inevitable
state we have over five thousand slogan
and no one has left the fold
right no one has done what absolument
did
but you're all over so learn from the
culture and ultimately say
labavich is good but it's not broad
enough it's not really thinking about
the non-jews
and different religions about women and
all of that
so this is uh one aspect of this clip
that we have to consider
even though on one hand it's such an
important piece where he says this is
where i made the transition so he's
telling you an insight into himself
when he kind of broke away from the
babbage
at the same time he does mention some
very important things and one of the
things is that
the way to understand to impact the
person you must understand them and
learn from them
and i would add only those things that
coincide with tita
with mitzvos with god as
god instructs a jew but the idea
to humble yourself and kind of
learn from them the overall idea is
correct
as long as as the nebba said so much in
the 50s and some say
he was talking mainly to reflect carol
park and to them zalman
when he spoke about those secrets of not
of not
uh thinking about tactless and not
making compromises in torah
but make a compromise yourself he was
talking to them
because they were such powerhouses so
influential
people started to gravitate towards them
55 to 65
and on they'd ever spent a lot of time
emphasizing the idea
a compromise should not be made entitled
but in yourself
i think this is all part of what we need
to think about as we listen to this
clip number nine
