Basi Lgani 1951, #4b, chptr 6- Rebbe chooses Ahavas Yisrael bc it includes all - RC Dalfin

talking about this idea of versus love. So the difference is completely different. It's two different categories. You know, most of the time and most people they sweet talk things. We're all good. It's true. But if you see a like this inus this is it's the words of God. It's like God speaking through the mouth of the of the and he takes the time to say in a mimer that was said in public in 1951 these two terms and love that is very significant and and both are included. He's he's including both. But you have to know that that there's a difference and everyone has the free will to decide does he just want to be love just associated with the sadic and this particular or he wants to be a makusher and a makusher is a whole a whole different thing a whole different a whole different agenda. I was I was telling you I was reminding myself I went over to a person today who's 80 years old the Talmud and a very refined person and his father-in-law was more was more he came from but he had a strong liter element and he was a rashiva I mentioned his name you probably would know and a prominent person this this person I'm talking about learned in kyo in a non- kabad ky in America in a prominent kyu and he was probably if not the best or one of the best kyu peep so and his father-in-law and his father-in-law was involved with that ky too so he handpicked him but but he told me that he knew that he already that he was a laber a kabadik so and and it didn't have you KNOW HE HAD RESPECT FOR KABAD, BUT you know, he wasn't a kabadnik. So he he he chose him. He wanted him. But he told me that he asked him one question before he he signed on the deal. Listen to this. He asked him, "Are you the Reb is a soldier?" At that time he wasn't the Reb as a soldier. He was a strong friend of Kabad but he wasn't yet as a soldier and he told that to his father-in-law the father-in-law said if so I could take you as a son-in-law but if HE WOULD HAVE SAID I'M THE as a soldier and if you would have tak been a soldier seems to be he would have not chosen him why he wasn't ready to have a son-in-law who's going to veto what he says and his wife says his future kala wife BECAUSE SAYS SO AND SO that he wasn't ready to do that's a whole different level that's a musher today he's a soldier I want to make today he's completely a soldier but he told me the story he told me this like now three to five years ago and I know the people I know the person he's talking about you're talking about a a a real big a leader a fine person the emis but he's not HE'S NOT A BOW HE'S NOT A musher you know he would come to fabbrangans so this I just wanted to for a moment elaborate for you to understand the difference between the two the two terms here and let's continue so the says in This mimemer here that those things that the labum demanded and requested and demanded of their and their to do they themselves did. Don't think for a moment yi that the previous reb wanted people to march in Baltimore with Rabbi Axelrod in the 1940s with the signs Shmid Shabas keep Shabas and he somehow wasn't involved. He was a he was confined to a wheelchair so he couldn't march in the streets of Brooklyn but he was the powerhouse and the battery life battery of that whole movement. So he did his part and the same with the Eb pretty much didn't go out of Brooklyn except to the oil most of his years from when he came to America he went to the Navyyard in the 40s to because he was a a civil engineer and he worked there mechanical engineer whatever but I'm saying he was pretty much a homebody so you would say he's telling he's telling Kaim Dalin and Misha Brun to go out to the streets of Disenf Manhattan to put on Trill or to go visit Ed in a nursing home. He himself is sitting in his com comfort zone. Crown Heights. He's giving the He's the the strategist giving the directions. And guess what? IN HIS OWN WAY, WHEN PEOPLE CAME to see him, he did talk to them about film. And he did spend hours three times a week in the in the years to 1970s from 50 to 70s. The Neb WAS UP TILL 600 7 IN THE MORNING. 4 5 6 7 IN THE MORNING SEEING PEOPLE ALL NIGHT. So why schleing to put film with someone compares to someone sitting a a 60 to 80 year old man sitting and and and talking TO PEOPLE AND HE'S NOT YAWNING. ASK ANYONE THAT WENT INTO THE REB. HE NEVER YAWNED. And trust me, he what did he lay? Maybe he laid down for an hour during the day. Maybe he fell asleep. I'm just saying. So this is not hypocrisy. What it says here is is exactly emis that the ram fulfilled what they that what they demanded of others. Over the years growing up here in Brooklyn in Burough Park, I would hear such criticism about leaders from other I'm not going to say names, but they would speak about one Reba who after Davening would go into his private room and look at the stocks if his stocks are up or down. Again, I don't know if IT'S TRUE. I'M JUST TELLING YOU WHAT THE WORD ON THE STREET was talking about sadikim who so theb says again I can't speak about other sadikim I could just say what the says in this mra he says that those things that demanded of of of their mushim and those that are those are associated with them they themselves did so I just explained how that would be applicable in even a situation regarding, you know, putting on fill in and and and running around and doing all of this, you know, one person does it in this way, the person the other day, but there he they did the same idea of getting the accomplished etc. Let's continue. Now here he starts the Reb starts his treatise of Israel. This is only in this mimer. All of you should know that only in this moment of 1951 did he take the time to give an example of each of their how they were involved with the mitzvah of Isis to show us that not only did they demand of of their to have and display AND DO BUT THEY THEMSELVES DID. So let's see what he says. And he says take for example the he interrupted his prayers and he went and cut woodish and he cooked a soup lettuce and he himself brought it and fed it to a woman who was having a baby. There were no other people at home. So the himself did all of the above to go and bring a woman food. She's having a baby. She needs to eat something hot, some hot soup. That's an example. Yes, Misha. >> Yeah. I just want to point out um this is such a famous what what the mimemer is bringing the the reb is bringing this mimer this incident we know is is such a famous incident but I once I heard that a slightly different gear of this incident one which includes that the Reb when it says he interrupted his prayers he removed his talis and then he went out and I was listening to someone share this a number of years ago and he made a point to bring that out to he he focused on that little nikuda because it wasn't that the reb just still had on his talis like he was going out to of of ding and so forth but he was still sort of like you know like connected or no he was totally into it he was totally right that so it's interest I pointed out because I remember when I heard that it made so much sense. >> Right. Right. And I I'm I'm very I'm very thankful that you you said what you said. Yes. That that Ebbe here just brings it very briefly and the point that that that person made that you're sharing is a excellent point that although he was immersed and I think maybe it comes from the Reb in a I think that our Reb might have said that in a he explained the story. >> Yeah. He explained the story with the way you just mentioned that he was so immersed that he had his talis and he broke his his immersion in in in inidas in meditation in his dvening go because to go bring abysal soup for ais is even more important right yeah >> thank you next story from the One person came to see him to the to have a private audience and he complained. He he he bemoaned the fact that he was involved in in such things that young young people are uh you know are happen to goof up on which he refers here um nocturnal omissions. That's usually the reference that this refers to. So the so the the rolled up his sleeve. He saw that his own flesh SHRIVELED UP FROM THE PAIN THAT HE HEARD FROM THIS that's asking the REB FOR A TICK IN. HE SAW THAT THAT THE REB TOOK IT SO SERIOUSLY THAT HIS FLESH WAS KIND of bubbles boils IT IMPACTED JUST hearing that this is dealing with a spiritual malady that he wants to ticken for it ate him up. So we see that THE SEE THE GREAT OF the we see it through this story. That's what the Reb says here. the cos of and theba says further you know and the said to him you know I might have boils on my hand because of your nocturnal omission your your transgression and he wasn't he wasn't scolding him he was just bring he was helping him with a tickling you in other WORDS YOU COME TO ABBA RIGHT YOU TELL HIM ABOUT WHATEVER YOU OPEN your heart You tell him about any issue, right? Is okay to be hearers. Maybe he'll GIVE A SIGH, MAYBE he'll give a cry. Boils on his hand because he can't can't fathom the the transgression AND IT EATS HIM UP. BUT PHYSICALLY, that's what he says here. We understand the wonder and exaltedness of the of the second generally speaking AND SPECIFICALLY HOW distant he was from people who are associated with nocturnal emissions. That wasn't sadic. This is not even in his in his consciousness kind of. Okay. And yet when a ye comes to him and pours his heart out and says give me a chuva for this a that I that I did the some feels it and and has is empathy not sympathy NOT ONLY SYMPATHY AS THOUGH HE DID it even though really he's completely removed from it. That's what he says. Nevertheless, the connected himself. He bound himself to everyone of his that to the point he was connected them that when they brought to him to their his attention things that were not appropriate. Paul of it impacted his health. He became weaker till his skin maybe wasn't boils. It was APPEALING SOMETHING WITH HIS SKIN. the skin of the of the Reb was impacted by Gashmas in a negative WAY BECAUSE HE HEARD ABOUT THIS this transgression of his that's the second example of from the second number three he says now before went to give a alone each part to a simple person. It was relevant just like THIS MORNING BEFORE DVENING I HAD THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE INVOLVED IN before I learned from THE IN other words technically before davening one second before ding you're NOT SUPPOSED TO DO ANYTHING RIGHT NO THE someone came to he need a loan he WAS SAID THEY WENT AND FOUND THE MONEY AND gave him the loan That's my >> Yeah, exactly. So this exact same point I heard this I heard this same story but Davka this point was the point that was that was brought out. He could have given it to him after ding. >> Yeah. >> But he he started to dab and he but he stopped. He said wait a second today is whatever the day was today is market day. Today is the day is the and if I give it to him after ding he's going to miss out because all the sales the best prices he can get for what he needs to do is now not not in you know an hour and a half >> right right okay I I hear you but it over here it says it was before dabing you said he started ding no I'm saying that's the point he g the rabbi gave it TO HIM >> OH BEFORE DABING HE COULD HAVE STARTED dabing Right. Right. >> See, he the rabbis he had to give it to him right now before Ding. Right. >> Because if he didn't give to him now, >> he would lose out. Right. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> That that was the point. >> Yeah. Got it. Number four from the Reb, the fourth of He once traveled. I guess from a place called to Paris. He met a young man, a young Jew. Alhamdulillah. And he said to him, oh, he met him. It doesn't say here. He was in a bar that knew and he went to the to the bar and he met and he said, "Young man, young man, wine that's, you know, touched by a guy and all that. is it contaminates the mind and the heart be a Jew and stop you and he didn't say in other words stop >> what not really is not a ser is much more severe than so you know those that keep >> say the >> Yeah. Yeah. The Timv. Yeah. Okay. Okay. If that's what you mean. Yes. Good. This young man went back to his house and he couldn't rest. He went back. He was right. It was probably late at night and he couldn't sleep and he couldn't rest and he went back to the he found his house wherever he was and from him came family of the word brings out the the the richness of the story. It's known that by him time was very precious to the point that when he said he said it very briefly he didn't say long discourses and at certain times already at 8:00 sounds like DOLPHIN HE WAS AFTER dening And nevertheless he traveled a very long distance and he remained with this person there a long time a so that he can help this young man who was drinking coha wine etc. And he can make him and he can help him do finished. Now comes the fifth at the beginning of his leadership. There was a new decree that desire decreed. So the nashab had to travel probably to len to Moscow or Lenagradad whatever to the capital or nearby um about to to absolve to to anold this decree. Oh it says he went to Musk Moscow. So his older brother of Zman Aaron Razor Zman Aiden his souls in Aiden he said TO HIS YOUNGER BROTHER You're at you know he was a BUSINESSMAN YOUR TIME IS VERY PRECIOUS FOR YOU AND MY brother show you don't know Russian that well I'm in the business world I know Russian you're you're teaching all that and you don't know Russian that well so he says to him look what it says in the apprentice the razo was learned was knowledgeable various languages you when you go there, you're going to HAVE TO SEARCH FOR CONTEXT. He says to his brother, I will travel regarding this this decree based on your instructions because I know the language language. I have some more context on the business world and I I'm not busy with the you know with the people and and all that and I haven't so my time is more available for that said to his brother lay his skin I don't agree I don't want it the says that himself went to this meeting with his broken Russian and no contacts and he was successful showing his and so there are many stories of my saintly father regarding his attempt to do a favor to a specific person either spiritually or physically materially he put himself aside died. Not only did put aside his physical material good and health put aside his spirituality could have learned that he could have dabbed and took time to help another. Although he did good with him, the person who he sought to help and he helped wasn't at all in the category of a friend that's considered a friend in other words a front person. HE HELPED any person non-religious non this is the this is not our saying this about him. there was someone that wasn't at all in his in his league in his in his in his you know in his uh realm because he was totally removed from Yiddish kite. I just came back from Montreal last week. The the property of the yeshiva was donated partially by a woman named Ida Bloomberg. I think Bloomberg I think she was a relative of the family Denberg which is a Kabad family. In the 1940s, she donated a lot of money for the yeshiva. I think what the yeshiva is either today or the old building and Rabbi Kramer who was in charge of for the fba for the misters. He brought it to the Reb to the previous Reb. And she said to the previous I'm not from like you're taking money taking money. I'm giving you you know I want to support. SHE CAME FROM LABZA, YOU KNOW, SHE CAME from Russia way back, but she like said like, you know, the said to her, it's I think it might even be on agendas, not with her cuz she passed away many years ago. The freed said to her, only Hashem knows who's from this. The freed he's not playing games. He's not playing games. You know, he wants to make her feel good. It's not F. You know the Russ is the acronym feelic mitzvah. Tremendous amount of bad evil and very few mitzvah feel venic mitzvah or as WE SAY FROM VIA he's religious like a priest you know that's from that's so when you learn such a thing he the call says about his father-in-law and you think about it a little bit you know this idea of discerning ing you know again I don't want to talk negative but you know sometimes um shul comes into a shul I see it here probably you guys see a bish if he wears a long frock and a hat up and he has a full beard he'll get more if he comes in like he looks not like one of us either he gets nothing but he gets much less why why should it be that way IF YOU TRUST THAT HE'S HONEST and he meets the money then give them give everybody the same like you know what I'm saying THIS IDEA NO BECAUSE YOU look like me and I look like you and we look like each other in this community so therefore I trust you more it's something you think about I think I think about this to my you know to myself like you know again if someone you know is suspect I'm not talking about that cuz we've seen that too and we discussed justice. There are people come in. I know that they were not Jewish. All of a sudden, they're wearing a BEARD AND A HAT and I know that they weren't Jewish. You have that too. And then you have people that you know maybe are Jewish again. But as long as the cause is is worthy and there shouldn't be a difference have a great Shabas Shabas boy. Uh uh it's Dominic that we lababash take an aliyah this shabas for the freba's yard site because the reba writes this in his his letter for the freed. So although it's we have gimlas and we take an aliyah for for for the for for um the I still feel that since the gave this instruction we should continue uh it we should continue it. So um it's the Shabas and we're learning Monday whether I'm in Florida or here we will have a zun. Love you all. All the best. Take care. Stay stay well. Stay warm. Bye.
