okay so just a brief introduction to this minor this minor was written in the year tough rich pay towel in 1924 you'll notice in the heading there's no date given except a year the reason for this is because it's because this was part of a previous my merrily Pasha's Casey saw that the rubber the free decrepit abusive Yeats of the author of the Mimer said and for some reason he then had he took a stable the bulk of the Mimer that he said the previous partial and he wrote it as a separate Mimer why I don't know I don't believe we know I assume that there was something happening in the community in Leningrad the previous leper was a st. Petersburg Leningrad 1924 that's where he lived and there must have been an issue surrounding authority and leadership which this minor is about that was very active and boiling at the time whether it was within the Chabad a Nash community or it was outside I don't know and I thought as I said I don't I haven't found any historical information about it all that we know is that in hiring me or him as David said earlier in the hiring game of the 24th of tertiary which is the higher engineering which instructs about Hassidim to make of a bring in a Shabbos reversing that had you enjoying he says during the far engine when you get together and you talk about and proven yourselves make sure not to to poke each other not to insult each other now why does he say that so you need a little Rekha background for that it used to be that a hasidic for bringin her bringin her Brendon with Hassidim was such that Hassidim would take it very seriously and they would talk with each other and at times they would scold each other like with sitting around the table they meant well but nevertheless it was sometimes very very sharp I'll give you an example I heard this from rabbi Rosenfeld who's a 90 year old man today maybe well and he told me this in the 1940s there was a closeted who was still a hostage of the repair shop his name was rabbi Zalman voiture hi it's hockey from Russia is lucky and it was a super closet what made my super house it he would get up 3:00 in the morning he would learn consider this for three hours he would go to the mikveh he was davon for three hours and at nine o'clock he would go to work he was a Shia fit I heard this one at Mendel foot the first to my great uncle told me this himself who was a follower of the Serbs on Malaysia so he told me his schedule some time sharing you with you first and what he told me about this constant discuss it for whatever reason had a certain habit and his habit was that when he would for break and he you know it was a Russian car said he would say a good lehayim he would come down on himself and people around him in a way that was very very sharp not only was a very sharp sometime nose actually vulgar and he was a real hazard but he was speaking to his Yates ihara he was speaking to his animal side and he had to really bang it and destroy it and clap it and that was a style that he used it got to a point he come he comes to air just wrote he lived in tel-aviv he was the Oh the elder cousin in the area one of the elder elder custom and a person of status like I just told you and they were asked me to fire brain so he was preparing but he was for brain sometimes people couldn't sit there because he could kind you know verbally abuse you it's hard to I know it's very hard to imagine and understand that he could be a legitimate cross it and do that but this was a certain style by the way most calcium was not this way but he was so some of the Hasidim sitting at the fibroin wrote to the previous raba did have a severe thought our author and they said that ever we can't take this anymore this is you know we love him and we want the forebrain but what he spews from his mouth is just that ever wrote him a letter wrote him a letter and told them people today are not vessels for this type of talk please stop as soon as he got the letter he stopped cold turkey it was like for someone who's a smoker to stop in the smoke cold turkey for him to change his entire approach in for bringing was a was coal turkey gone culture it's this background that is the introduction to this Mimer and to this how you're enjoying that you that you quote mentioned before 24th of this ray well they're ever says since Shabbos before cream is a day when an Asha kebab hassidim should should for brain and at for brains you mean well but sometimes you get carried away you start rebuking the other person says they're ever don't do that and then he says and for an elaborate more details of this entire of this entire field he says see the my Murray in Brewer commercial tough fresh paid out which we have in front of us I send it so it's not only the way you you introduce the Mimer tonight of it that this mime is about constructive criticism this minor is about what of our bringin is according to Chabad there is no other movement in Judaism that has this idea of of her brain as a mainstay and as an equal to learning EE
