so this is uh an explanation of clip
number seven of the interview i did with
result in the shakhtar
in 2010 when he was 85 years old
uh this might be the most interesting
clip
at least for me it's very very
interesting
because of the story that he tells of
purim 1950
he uh zalman left to falls river
falls river must exist where he did work
there with college
college kids and others
and he
was in 770 for the histalcus as you
heard in the last explanation
the last clip as well and
um the next time
based on what he says here it seems but
the next time he was back
to 770 was purim
so the stalkers was the rebels the free
clip his passing was in january
so this probably was in the uh in march
and the rebel notices that he's washing
his hands so he says to him
you were uh at the oil he says yeah and
he says
um he is almost says in english but
probably said
you you requested of hashem all good
for all your prayers should be answered
this is oman
and then and then the rebbe asks and the
ramash asks him
so like what did you ask for
this is what's almost says and he says i
asked for three things
one that there be a rebel
because at that time in 1950 to 51
the question was you know who should be
the river and the back and forth as we
discussed earlier
so there should be no there are shag
and the ramash did not formally say they
are a bill they're not rep it was
it was just a doubt back and forth and
all that so there should be a rabbit
number two
you should be the rabbit this is what he
tells the ramash
standing in the hallway in 770. you
should be the
the rather and number three you should
be blessed to have children
and he says that ebba held his hand or
he held that episode
he says that listen carefully he was
holding the hand and they and they both
cried
uh i believe the story
because almond was the type as you hear
throughout this interview to speak his
mind
this wasn't someone that you know minced
words
this wasn't someone that was embarrassed
and ashamed how can i
speak this way
you know he was the outsider coming into
lubavitch and as much as he
gravitated to the bavaria
he still was almost
the inquisitive one the seeker the
opinionated one
etc and
the rebel was going through a very hard
emotional time as you can imagine
especially it was just two months
uh um
actually a month a month i'm sorry a
month a month after huge fat
so it was very very emotional as we see
from various uh letters and secrets of
the time and
even later and for him to hold
hands with zalman and to cry together
this is uh fascinating
i i didn't hear this about from anyone
else about anyone else
and um i don't know one of my thoughts
is that
the devil was holding his hands not
crying about himself but crying about
zalman
i know this might sound very uh strange
but this is my gut feeling he was
holding his hand and saying zalman
zalman
remember where you come from
770 there are bayem seeds
and stay with the program
so again it's a commentary it's an
interpretation
but if you think about it i think you'll
see there's some merit to it
okay we go on in the clip
and he talks a lot about
um the his interaction
with the frida krabbe rabbi simpson
uh and doing things for the frida
kadabra museum shabbos which he claims
he started together with
ron weingarten although for the record i
don't believe he started it but he
definitely was part of it
but anyway another interesting story
there is with his father's father throws
him out of the house
because he was running around borough
park with weingarten
and gathering children bringing him to
robbie simpson's house and made
mercedes shabbos shabbos afternoon
this was this was considered
outrageous in those days
but he was a good laboratory and he did
what the future could ever wanted
so his father says out of here because
his father probably got complaints
so he packs up his view with boxes as
forum he goes on the
irt and the bmt the trains the crown
heights
from poro park and he comes this is
robbie simpson he says i'd like to
uh speak to the rebel what i should what
should i do you know
remember simpson says um
isn't your father from man he says yes
in other words why should he throw you
out for gathering jewish children
anyway he says you go back and ask
forgive me last forgiveness for having
this chutzpah of
i guess not listening to him and then
zalman says through simpson now what
should i do the following shabbos is he
should do it again
and i thought that was so so beautiful
so telling of
um of of the wheel of barbecue custard
thinks
you know and if you knew ravi simpson he
wasn't the kind to kind of
uh speak that way but uh when you asked
him
he knew the score you know of course the
number wants us now to bring children to
the civil shabbos
so on one hand you apologize to your
father and on the other hand the next
shoppers should go out and do it again
and kakhova that's the way it was he
goes back comes the middle of the night
one two in the morning comes back to 7-7
at his father's home
in borough park his father comes down in
his pajamas
he greets him says what are you doing
here now he says i came to ask you
to ask you for michelle if please
forgive me he says oh
who told you do that he says that ebba
told me to do that she says oh there's a
clue
a cougar he's very smart he understands
that you need to sleep in a bed tonight
in your house and
the only way you'll get in here is if
you apologize so he does that
anyway the next shot is almond does what
he but what the simpsons and the rabbit
tell him to do
and he brings more children his father
finds out about him
and he looks at him and he says
which means excuse me a disgusting uh
snugget lit [ __ ]
that's the way they spoke in those days
that they were more pc or more
politically correct so we don't use such
language but anyway
and uh it's a very very uh funny story
telling story and also again seeing his
commitment to the the frida kadab and
what was going on in 77 and finally
another very important thing i asked him
if he
felt that he had more his scottish
closeness
and a relationship with the free to
crabber more than
the rest of his friends and he answers
me yes
and you need to think about that ribs
almond was walking around
feeling and thinking that he's in a way
more special than his friends and he's
not
but you know from the ghazala bavaj from
the bavitch lineage
and he tells over how rabbi jacobson
told them to go to ask to feed the
kadaba for a tick on
um for uh way of chuva because he's a
hitsun because he's so superficial
you heard that and he went
so here he is being kind of chastised by
his mashpia
and by the by his friends which we
discussed in previous
explanations of the clips
and it is he who
either actually had more contact with
the frida kaderba than the rest of his
friends
i mean i would think that mendel feldman
was probably an exception because he was
like a ben bias over there but um
overall besides maybe him probably he
was
uh he had more conversations with the
federal brief ones but
you know but that he that he says it and
the way he says it
i believe adds to his idea that he
begins the interview with with the rule
which we discussed at the beginning in
other words you know
hey guys i had many conversations with
the rebber and i
and he says even on this clip and i i
saw the way he answered
and the way the ramash answered me and i
learned from them you know
he convinced himself
that he learned from them
how to be a rebbe in a way i think
that's
part of what he's thinking um i'll let
you decide whether that's true or false
