Farbrengen Gimmel Tammuz 2020 w Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

morning that's Kimmel Thomas Thompson page 26 years since that happens the summer returned I'm high today bursted we call that a Yankee Lula because there are beach and terracotta schools his own day of passing love I made a yummy Lula a day of celebration actually the demurrer refers to hee hee Lula as a wedding day in other words the wedding is called a he Lula and the question is why do you call the day whether it has be passed away why does he call his day like a wedding day I mean it seems to be the total opposite of a wedding he someone passes away it's a very sad thing so this isn't being spoken about by the rabbit probably every you trot and many many times and he explained briefly that that the idea of a wedding and the idea of a of a historical surpassing of exotic our longing to say and what is that that is that the on on high there is a celebration when it's Alex the Schirmer returns to the a bestow and what's what's the celebration and number two of the celebration is for on high what does it have to do with us here we're left bereft we're left empty so the outfit ever in the Dennis I play this 27 in the B or as a beer over there you could look it up later the out that ever explains what is the specialty and how we benefit from the departure of excited could you imagine and the altar never says that while exotic was alive his his Emunah and his love for Russia and his authorship and munna Arvin era are limited and contained to the confines of life and in the confines of life you know there's only so much you could benefit from so for example you only you mentioned getting a dollar from the Rebbe your father got a dollar that means if you were in inset in Crown Heights during the years that he distributed our Sunday morning you got a doubt or if he sent a dollar fit with someone else for you you received it but if you weren't if you weren't you didn't get it well let's say if I bring it right they have now a gem puts out these five Brennan's and last night I was watching one for over an hour if the mayor from Solon was very inspiring you know was of her bringing from from the rebel yell Miletus yud aleph listen 1972 somebody gives back and you know I was a young boy then I don't believe I wasn't the vibrational I was I lived in Brooklyn but I wasn't there and is very inspiring than in fact you see everything up close in a way you see better and you can if you know what's going down you you kind of know better what's going down because you see it right on in front of you whereas when you were standing there you far away you were here there things blocked you and you know so so says the al terrible doctor never says that the the sadiq the inspiration from the SAVAK to the person and people who identify with exotic is limited to the vessel of life and it's filtered by life whereas after his departure the Emunah and they ever in the year of the SAVAK is limitless in other words is 24/7 this idea is ultimately the idea of a wedding why what's there give a wedding the wedding is the continuation of seed a father and mother have a child and then they raise that child and they bring the child to the Hopa and and the hope and prayer is that that child will procreate and bring another family etc so it's considered what we called Hebrew opinion Adi odd and this was a tender their ever wished cousin Colin the parents you should have an everlasting edifice an everlasting Bojana so the so the idea of a wedding being eternal and the idea of the of the departure of its object and the neshamah being eternal are one of the same and therefore desire the holy they are calls the departure of raspbian and so twofold subdeacon a he Lula that's a basic explanation why the term he Lula is used for the departure of a son no it's not see this either it's the so our restaurant must be writes in his own Ziya regarding his upcoming whenever he's passing he calls it a he Lula that's that's from desire that's not from de Moura and it's not from cassidy's and it's not from moose it's not from mission it's not some a look at some Isaiah and and and we believe there are to be wrote desire so that's you know so it has nothing to do with Labov it by the way we have a good friend of mine inflamed a hamburger on my welcome from the Washington DC the Potomac Maryland areas effective welcome to the to the shoot to the fiber engine anyway so so so the question is the so okay so we have an explanation okay but practically let's if I bring in is not a time for theoretical philosophical discussions that's a seer that's a lecture that's a study the the vibranium heard that there ever passed away and was at the clay so but not at the clay so I was waiting to go into the tunnels under underground appraisal that called the tunnels and there was Alabama sure who today lives already in Crown Heights a very fine gentleman and he was going to take me because you need a special permission at the time that you know cuz I wanted to go out a certain time if so he gave me he had it in and when before we went into the to the tunnels I saw two bustling running running to the Kaesong in my own I mean the repet was very ill everyone knew that he was very ill and I said to myself I don't like this running guy this is this is not this is not a good sign that's what I said to myself I don't know I think was like that it was like quarter to nine sometime around whatever night and went into the tunnels with him and there's a place under Underground over there under the castle that straight up is where the Dome of the rock would they call today the Dome of the rock we call that the every sucia every Shakya which is where of them will form from you know the most holy place that if you go straight up you're supposedly will hit that that exact that rock and on the wall on the stone on the wall there's a trickle of water coming out I assume those that's what are all of you with Alexis well have been there and if you haven't you better go there anyway and the tradition is the tradition is that our sadness crying and it's coming through the water the trickle the tear he's crying for the destruction of the base I'm Ignis that's that that's the so and people stop over there and they say killers I was aware of this tradition so I stopped there and I said to them we continue to go on the tour of the data that the Turner came out a half an hour or an hour later and then there was a way a message waiting for the rabbi that brought cooked me in and the message was that they're dancing in Crown Heights so again you know I didn't have to be a world's genius and professor to figure out this isn't they very happy dancing I just had a gut feeling that the River passed away and indeed it when they rabbi called New York you found out that the River passed away and it seems to me it was you know around the time when I was standing at the wall and the trickle of water the tears were coming out and I remember that like it's now that you know 26 years ago I saw I didn't make the Lavanya I went to Crocker bag and they had a big screen and I saw them avaya there I was not too strong because my father and uncle donated a safer Torah for my grandfather in Bnei Brak so this was before gimel Thomas so and then the rivers in his stylist was right there so we didn't get a chance to go back although I did oh wait okay so I'm coming out I'm coming out now and I'm saying to myself I got to get back to New York we had it ready to throw everything I got to get back to New York I went to the airport before that walking up the steps from the Cosell all to the old city to get on a bus or a taxi to go back to my hotel and it's quiet it's sunk young said Sunday morning at the 10:00 10:30 10:30 all the window lock and the vagal afferents are you see that right and people are working and it was mamma's quiet going through thee and I had this like weird feeling you know very weird feeling and I'm saying to myself hi I'm thousand for baggage should have such a big Sadiq such a world leader just passed away and things are so normal here like you know I'm feeling so intense and so nervous and and so stressed and you know and so upset but no one around me seems to feel anything it feels like it's a regular Sunday morning and and I remember that this was you know that this added to my stress like why isn't everyone jumping why isn't everyone crying why isn't everyone who stormy you know why isn't everyone out of their house and talking about it nothing and then I went to the hotel and then I went to the airport and I had a return ticket on TWA at the time so I went up to the offices because it was swamped with Labov atures every shade and every color and every word Ben Gordon was full of about answers and everyone's trying to get a flight to New York so I went to the office upstairs on the second or third floor Ben Gurion and I spoke to a a top deputy and he said I would get you I would you know the flying your home free without a charge is not the easier you won't make it to the Lavanya I can put you through here and through there you're not gonna make it to the funeral because we figured out the tiny right so once he said that and said oh because all nonstops whatever that was one or two that were already booked it wasn't placed for one person after those the Europe then through Europe like I'm gonna make it in time the bottom line is I didn't go that day and waited another day to and I came the during shiver and during Shiva during Shiva everyone had a chance to be Manasa mobile pea typical to the rabbit in this house and then that year the Rebbe I think I bring every Shabbos almost every Shabbos and he spoke about the theme of ah haha Ethan Lieber his wife rented some firewood schools Chaya Mushka and there is this idea bahaha and the living will take the heart and he spoke at that about that idea and this is a the first point I want to make what I observed here is a person who lived through basically you know almost a hundred years 90 years from 1902 it's now 19 you know it's 19 I'm sorry a mix of the two here it's his own passive right but I'm saying earlier by his wife's passing Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka spoke about Baha'i you thoroughly so here we are thinking about what can we do to to live with a departure when a parent passes away god forbid when a loved one passes of woody and everyone knows what we just had the codes and everything else and of mash them you smart that we should only have sympathies and good health and it should be abolished that never come back again immune system so what what do you do with death I mean it's a reality their ever writes in a letter to a teenage girl who lost her mother a Crown Heights girl and she wrote to the river how she's the oldest of a whole family and you know she's distraught and and second and the rebus said we see in halacha there are periods of morning three days seven days 30 days 11 12 months and then at the earth science says the rabbit to this teenage girl what do we learn from that that if you mourn more than the allotted time whatever that whatever the the morning requires for that a lot of time and you mourn more than that then you're not accepting God in other words your God is defined by how you feel and if your God is defined by how you feel it's not the God that's not a set of the Torah it's your man made her shell it's your man made God which is not God it's an oxymoron God is not human and the rebel says to her if you don't accept God and death you don't accept God in life and if a lover says that up for 30 days you mourn this way and after 30 days you're not allowed you're not supposed to mourn this way any way anymore and you do your it's again your man may God and your greeting what God wants and this is to be thought about you know it's it's it's easy easier said for this we thought about so what what do we understand from this we understand and that a yard site of any person and especially exotic who who impacted the world in such an amazing way is about growth it's not about stagnation and past for the sake of past history you know you know you all know that I'm that I'm a historian and I lived with his theory I'm totally enamored with history that's what I do you know it's it's my lifeline is he is studying history and writing history and an understanding trying to understand properly you know but nevertheless you have to know its history and what's more important than history is that now and the future because if the history doesn't teach us how to behave now and the future then it's basically relegated to a museum and things that are relegated to a museum are our inanimate and dead in other words it's it's it doesn't have a purpose it's just applying the sky you know philosophies it has nothing to do with your real life so the whole purpose of of gimel calmness a celebration yard site like today 26 years later is to make us better and to see what we can do in the upcoming year to make the neshamah of the dead be more alive in the world and now what do I mean about being more alive than in the world in the world I mean my friends you know how much do we have to drink today I mean the rep is not here 26 years and that if you go out here I mean borrow podcast any any any any discuss it here any Jew on the streets here they'll tell you you know like what are you drinking you know like okay I mean I don't know if you love a seraph kallu other Orthodox Jews celebrate a York site and a yard set of exotic or a Russia Shiva or a rabbi or of they frankly don't make a big deal about it now I know that some make a Sudha but if you pay attention the way Habad the and I'm not talking about the Chabad of the river but you look at the way the river celebrated the previous rivers you dropped his yard site it was a monumental world's activity it was it was a day of rec of reflection a day of serious but they have contemplation and if they of good resolutions and if you compare that to the way it's done and most other communities you know diversify them the big thing the sooth of the meal and the food and they'll hire him and then you know they barely drink behind but you know okay and I've told you over and over the story with the holy tsadik the Seraph this first released it from the Rebbe Australis who forgot one year that it was his mother's yard site and his mother came to him in a dream and he said my son I could forgive you for not saying Kaddish I can forgive you for not learning this noise from my soul and I can forgive you for not lighting a candle which by the way everyone should light a candle in their home today for the Rebbe as the shuttle as you can or have your wife do it or someone else it's still called a would be a special thing to write a candle anyway because he says I can forgive you for everything it's one thing I can't forgive you until you do it the keyhole and the herring and the smiles Harry and a little vodka that I can't forgive you for because when you bring that to Shu and everyone makes a Brooklyn coastal hire for the new summer that's the e car now that story's a powerful story and very true but you know what in kebab everything the state is filtered through hoc mabini das you need to understand the story it's not just a story another story and a nice story in the spidery story the story teaches us that the day of a yurt site is so powerful and because the day of the yard site so powerful the lehayim on that day has that power it's not that just having a little what care and and and and kiss - schmaltz herring makes the day and it doesn't work that way because you can do that and be the same old man the same old guy the same old ideas if we understand that this day is full of new energy and new opportunities then the Heian has a whole different meaning and that's the perspective of the Babich of Chabad and the whole issue of the coyote you know I was in sue the other day another facility show and they made us see him the night before I'm two machetes and two cameras and I'm there getting ready to put on thousands in front of me there's this one fellow who's talking to another fellow and he's going on and on berating the soul how could it be we made two misete to see you member and all we had was frozen potato knishes and he's talking like no one else and soon as 40 people are so getting ready for it for Hegel and he was like and and I I had to control myself I was I wanted to say something but I kept quiet because it wasn't my place and it wasn't the right venue and it would make a whole to doing he cuz he was really like a percent now I understand that a sim his point was this this is not covered it's not covered to the CM and I understand that but there's it's a fine line between you know the seal or the food then you want the food and and you must have the food and you must have a quality of the food in kebab and true Habad that was never this way it was never this way and that's why in Chabad I don't know if you know but you know the whole I give of Google's and strawberries and eating googles and chosen and making a big deal about food is totally totally not where it's at even though we have a story here a story there with you out there ever a piece of cocoa but that's not that's not the e car the car is the governing the learning and once you have the governing and learning are sagas then the cuckoo becomes also inspiration when importantly but just to sit down and eat cocoa and and and and say ah it's Shabbos played this in Chabad that's a Corey totally Aparri you're not gonna hear this from many people and first of all they will know that second rule that they're too embarrassed to say but I'll say it that the whole idea of engaging in food and and making a fool day a bit tzimmes like you know in the baggage and Chabad it was never that way and you happened and this is important for the celebration of today's they gimel Thomas now what did that ever stand for and what does he stand for even so many years later the ebiz life was dedicated to one thing I got she Sarah really helped in another year and look at his own personal life never was a genius you all know that I don't think it was that a genius of a money that has a child knew the sciences astronomy do you know that in the rebus room this is recorded I think that the early days and then III saw it in non Habad circles from a cousin of the river his name was a from zelanski and a writer interviewed him and she and he told her that in the rebus room he and his brothers in their bedroom they had charts as astronomy charts on the wall not rock star superstars in the wall Australian charts what are he and his brother is thinking about astronomy the rebus house was a very sophisticated house of intellectual house both his parents replica we know his father was a genius of Cibola Nevada his mother was an educated person at the time she was very well trained in the Hebrew language which was a was something that a women you know Orthodox women at the time didn't really have that training and be it was like a pariah away you know I see there's a woman what are you doing mastering ghetto Hebrew language it's like you know Zionism and she didn't care she was at what we call in Hebrew our Mugu Medes educated them intellectual and this was the environment that the Rebbe and his two brothers grew up in and at the same time Shabbos at the table shlonsky who lived across the hall in the apartment built in the same apartment building he says he would hear beautiful Hasidic tunes that made you cry and make you meditate then think about what it's all about coming from the apartment and he would be slept in and with knock on the door of his cousins and he came in not to play with them but to sit at the table and hear a blade it's beautiful Nagumo so you had a very interesting balance in the rebus home you had an atmosphere of intellectualism and sophistication and at the very same time a very strong sense of Hasidic Judaism okay you support what I said no the rabbit that's a fallacy was not in the store born he was at you know he was in the University of Berlin and and today we have all this and let's call the book the early days if you haven't seen that we haven't seen this book it's it's a fascinating it's not really even our book of reading it's a it's a book of so much that emotional you have it at home don't you the early days maybe it was blown up yeah yeah you lead it up yell me I think I think anyway so so there it gives us the records they found the records they did ten years of research it's it's a very important piece of history for the Babbage anyway so so there ever went to get upon OSA and I'm going to it was sidetracked but it for a moment that's important the rabbit didn't vote even a personally Kravitz salivation the Rev Robert salivate said he wants the university to pursue a PhD and he got a PhD in philosophy there ever didn't get a PhD and guess what he didn't even get a degree from the university people don't know that you know that the rapper went to take some courses so that he should be able to enroll in a engineering program where they'll give him an engineering certificate so that he should be able to get a job in engineering and that's what he got and the details the names are all documented there and that's why when it came to America in the nineteen nineteen forty one he worked that the Navy Yard in Brooklyn here not far from me as a draftsman but he had a background in mechanical engineering so so you know did he go to university guess he physically went to the University of Berlin and sat in on certain classes and he's registered him and his wife I think his wife's doing certain classes I think but you don't see any record of him staying four years and getting this degree in that degree know that you don't okay so let's go back yes motion so in Paris he went to another such school too to finalize the degree I mean III don't believe Sleiman do you remember do you remember did it say that he went to the to the Sorbonne or they think they refute at that in the early days do you recall right me too I do too but but he in France whether it was a sauropod I don't think it was but whether it was the soul born or another it was two to get that certificate okay it wasn't a college degree as we know it a bachelor's a masters a PhD it was a degree that gave you at the time you were able to use that for engineering the rebel was in Paris actions in 1933 to 1941 I mean here at 14 that he ran to Vichy you know until he escaped so he was there for seven years which is a very long time compared to the places that he was before but he wasn't studying in in these places he would follow he was studying a little bit and then the previous said ever it is the fifteenth volume of the previous letters letters interest greatest number 15 that's a one entire volume of the correspondence between the previous endeavor and his daughter and there ever it is a fascinating volume because there's many many insights into the rivers life that we'd never knew about that you extract from those letters and you see there that the previous rabbit want them to be a rabbi a shoe why the AG apart no sir you understand there was no plan no sir it was so difficult to have a pair no sir and the rep is married yes he didn't have any children yet but he needs a pond Elsa so the previous rabbit says I spoke to him in him and and and you don't hire you and director in the most respectful way basically says thank you but I'm not ready to make that decision it's a very interesting you know because he did everything for his whatever is farther along but but in this issue I my gut feeling is that it was his wife who didn't really want he should take that position but I can't say because it doesn't say the bottom line is you didn't take the job as a rabbi right so we and then his father him I think the previous that ever realized that this heart is not in being a rabbi was congregation so he swept them in to do work for him as a secretary and and and would swear him and basically was occupied most of those seven years you know doing uh working for his father-in-law and I'm in in Paris and coming to and coming to the previous lab in Poland for the young tiger but let's go back to the point so so what is this gimmick Thomas although yes most of the most admires you wanted to say something the rebel the rebel went to Berlin in in nineteen after his marriage in 28 29 and he stayed there while the previous level moved to Riga to Riga to Riga Latvia he had to leave Russia after they car serrated him they told them out you go you're a troublemaker you can't stay in our country and he went to Riga Latvia under the 33 33 he moved from there to - what's a call to Warsaw Poland then he was in Poland for seven years - Lea outbreak of the war when he came to America let's go back so what is what is the message and for us here we know each other you know and how do we deal with this gimmick Thomas you know like so first we as fruit juice as believing Eden and I colors vertical in God we don't believe in a man we believe in our sin and we believe that our sin puts people in every generation that are there to help us a connect in the house best possible way to our shell and that's the whole idea of a Revit I mentioned this yesterday but they'll just elaborate for a moment a raba is not someone who does your job for you at least this is not the subversion of a rebel a rebel is a soul-sucking site what will he say so geologists he knows your neshama she's able to guide you the person who comes to seek his advice and to friend to learn from and to learn from him what's best for you to connect to a shell and that that's what my setup ignor was what was Moshe Moshe Rabbeinu well champagne was also a revelant wasn't he what do we say Moshe Rabbeinu our teacher so what Moshe a baton was just a teacher of Alain Vaes of the Moroccan Cities of Cibola of course not but sure a banal addition to being a teacher was a mentor was a guide was a counselor he and and and most importantly most remaining when he told the Jews do I love Bazin get moved he was telling them what's best the way he sees it as a communicator for our colors barkal being inspired and gifted by God like the other prophets Isaiah Shia and you're me oh and small n of E so right away if you understand this the whole criticism you know of a citizen of a citizen and considered jewelry and Reb and all that falls aside because you have that criticism of Hasidic Judaism you should be criticizing Moshe and yirme'yahu and you say Yahoo and and and swollen of E and everyone and everyone else and then the argument is well they were prophets and we had navour and and and the Baal Shem Tov and his students you know we're not prophets so I don't want to go into it now because there is literal prophecy then there's the metaphysical issue of prophecy and that and that that is existent today okay so so the the revit as it's avec someone was devoted to helping either and although he was educated and although he he didn't want to be in public service when his father passes away in 1950 the kosygin's say listen we need a leader now yeah you must understand that that also wasn't simple you're talking about you had people who lived still from the 1800's 1880s and 90s and fascism of the repair shop they were 20 years older than the river and they appoint a 52 year old man a 50 year old man to be Villa Babbage forever I mean that's a imagine us okay we're 40 50 60 right and we're going to appoint the 20 year-old to tell us what to do everyone knows it's not happening it's not happening and even when you have something that's really special and excels and and is you know great to to dedicate yourself and and and then listen to what they say and follow is a very it's very difficult and nevertheless then the Babbage's Hassidim at the time said yes this yes for whatever reason and there's a lot to discuss why and how and when but that's what happened that was back to 1951 Utah and for the next 42 years or so the river flow brings and it talks and from 50 to 60 he dedicates himself basically to educate his own people his own considered so he started the women's organization called the che kebab because in Europe women were a second-class citizen you all know that right some still argue was it's that way in America do but the rebel didn't see it that way and the rebus said women should be educated woman should learn when they should be productive and he creates an organization called the shaker bod you know there there was a Jew rabbi levy the head of the okay and I knew him we diving together in our true leader fell apart he had an aunt who was the the daughter of a person called the mala if you read my book about portraits vol 1 I have a whole chapter on this individual and there's a whole story with him and he was he was born in 1860 I think and and and he had CI reading he was very religious and uh stood but a very big zealot so rabbi levy once came with his wife to visit his aunt and after the niceties he says you know we have to go because the Rebbe is speaking to the women's hope I have to bring my wife to Crown Heights when she heard when she heard her nephew saying I have to bring my wife to listen to the rebus speech she gave him a snap she gave a slap another med and she berated him another story I was sitting with people for who were from the 1940s and they were slew him the senior was there it there he both passed on that one passed on at one hundred the other 195 may their souls be blessed and the very special Jews at that time I wrote my book called who's who in the Babbage women and I wrote I've written two volumes of Who's Who and the Babbage men and one women and and my mother of blessed memory and other women I memorialized them in this book and I felt it was important to give the world an Labov each you know to see how these do the Babbage of women are what are they made of and and all kinds not they are from Russia my mother grew up a she was Poland the survivor grew up in Costa Rica and and different kinds of of women that join Chabad so I told the rabbis that was at this Friday night Shabbos table where I came to that I just wrote this book and his wife was dead sitting right next to him when she heard me say that I wrote a book called who's who in the Babbitt's women she just shouted out this who gives you permission to write that we don't learn about women what are you doing and I'm you know and you know she's 85 years old 80 85 and I'm you know what I'm 45 and and you know and I have respect that I know about their life and what they did and you know but her husband was so embarrassed so he says to her it's all right it's all right you're they were getting a little senile a little dimension you know it still feels like a dick but you saw in middle of the dimension you saw her essence come out what was and she said she's the daughter of a major love a bunch of clusters from the Rishabh for the fifth river so this idea of putting women on the map was a novelty in the world of love baggage forget about in the Jewish world in the world of a baggage I mean the Orthodox world in the Hasidic world so the wrapper worked on this in the 50s the other thing the repin started in the 50s was that Syria goodness kebab the young division of kebab kebab Nicks which means basically to go out and put up minnow resin give mezuzahs hours and help people killing and kosher their kitchens called sauna TZ ace ACH sounds like they're having frank about and this too was a Finnish okay you know the previous Rebbe in the 1940 spoke about keeping Shabbos so in Baltimore in Detroit in Chicago you know he got the cutback rabbis to get others to march with signs schmira Shabbos closes doors on Shabbos okay but that was like that was also very unusual but the way the rabbit took her to the streets in the 50s was on a whole different level and he started eating the treats you know it's nice that we're talking here but we need these young Bufferin the cement 11 our friend the slum of my of mutual friend son you know the young the young guys that these guys are these are the soldiers on the field and these soldiers go out and they they they mama state they don't care about anything and sometimes they should break away they they they stormed the world and the rebels saw this that he needs to create this feeling in those Russian lapavitsas and others that came from Europe with devastation and he made a mind change in them in the 50s then the 60s to the 70s everyone knows we have to count the Cultural Revolution Vietnam the killing of did the murder of the Kennedy and then they're killing the Kennedy and then and the Sputnik and then I was a whole different scene and the rabbit that it cakes himself in the 60s of making Bally chuhwa alibi the chair ever from Russia from a little statue with a white beard talks about Valley chupa and the Orthodox world says what are you doing like like we've never seen this and he says this is what we need now then come then then then comes the 1970 70s to 80s and the red gram is birthday on a seven on his 70th birthday right yeah you die off listen the vibrating that I saw last night he says he would if you want to give me a gift I'd like to have 71 new institutions 70 at least he says what does everyone that's why at least and the robotnik's they roll up their sleeves and they they make more than 71 throughout the year so the whole idea of Chabad House is really took off in the 70s not in the 60s right and then came the 80s and then he speaks about a moment of silence and many major Jew ideas that were novel to the to the Jewish world a moment of silence the seven mixes of Noah you know those type of fabrini ins were in the eighties and also after that dimension in the 70 60s and 70s about Russian jewelry a lot and the ad speaks a lot about Paris Rome not giving back any land those this is a state one second guys this is a condensed version of the 40 years or so of the rebels leadership so what do we do with it now 26 years later after given Thomas humble returns we need to take all those ideas because we have now a load a load of information and we now need to unpack it and guess what we have enough things to do for a hundred years and more I'm telling you because you cannot imagine especially in the 80s almost every Shabbos when he spoke he initiated something new and I remember saying to myself rather I haven't had a chance to do what you said last weekend already demanding more this week I can't so our plates are full and it's it's rippy it's on video it's it's it's it's there so we Hassidim and jews that identify with this holy tsadik we have now the job of implementation of those things that he spoke about and suggested for 42 years and it's not a repeat i want to emphasize it's not a repeat and it's not like it's not new you know oh we need something new if we don't have something new oh it's boring the same law the same art you know it's like it's boring give me something new especially today everyone a quick fix this this world we're in is is so fixed on everything being exciting and fresh and new right and that's the reality now that's the reality so you can't go backwards so you built backwards you not going forwards you're not going forward so we accept that the world is it's worse at now and we see and understand that this is a step closer to the ultimate plan of our sandwiches the coming of the CFM and entering in the immunity of the entire world so we take this and we go effect but we go with it based on the doctrines and teachings that they're ever left in his writings and it's there for us you know some and I we learned the part of the things that we learn as the rebus fathers coloratura quoted the Torah slavery Hitchcock now you have to understand that the rebels father wrote this in the 1920's 1930's and if you sit and learn this seriously objected give an example you see how it's so relevant today and you have to learn it correctly or at least attempt to then think about it and then and then you understand how what he wrote a hundred years ago can be applied today betrayed oaxaca Daysha the holy tater is a living organism it's it's it's active it's not stale and when and that ever was was the individual at least for what I saw who made he disguise a living organism today not a past experience so for example the Sackler River the Satmar Hasidim rebel yokai toca who I wrote about in my book sapling robotics right a great man a great communist and a real brave individual to breathe Hungarian jewelry in its full regalia with the long coat and the payers and the Strymon to the streets of Brooklyn of Williamsburg and Borough Park and he did it at a time when his own people were clean shaven and and and wanted to pursue degrees and and and wanted to you know he become more modernized and he tells him we're gonna bring I'm carrying Judaism to the streets here and it was a revolution in their world there was a revolution so it wasn't like the Habad would go all over and we reach out to all Jews not just to our own Jews the Cyclorama did it for his own Jews and in his own little hub called Williamsburg right so though that's a very important accomplishment and and my friends I tell you it he accomplished that there are thousands of thousands of cyclic I see them worldwide although they have a very policy with Israel that I believe and I this I wrote it in my book they don't understand really what they're ever meant about being anti Zionist okay but the bottom line is they took it in a certain direction and that's not one that Chabad that most other Jewish organizations and and and groups agree with nevertheless you know you don't throw it all out you know but what did he do he did it for his own people and yes the kindness is phenomenal you know what I had Kovac and it was Pesach and a button and I was you know the hot seller came in they look like shocked if I see them or I see them for sure and on Pesach they came to check on me every day can you imagine that it's pays off they're carrying it was shop inside of it you know saving the life into my house I didn't go to them I didn't leave my house they came every day to check my oxygen level and this and that depressive that they showed was phenomenal but nevertheless it's like it's to get to their own to their own you don't say not that if someone that wasn't if someone wasn't religious they would go to him to to save a life I'm convinced of that but that's not what they seek to do the revered didn't they make a distinction between a Jew who's religious or a Jew is not religious I promise you he did the whole idea and I know this because he wrote this to me back in 85 and I 95 in 1985 I received a flyer from a rabbi Shimon of Chicago and he had a picture himself and then the the headline the title was I am NOT reformed I am NOT conservative I am NOT Orthodox I am a Jew and then in smaller words this is at the philosophy of Habad movement and I saw this flyer and I came to Murray County north of San Francisco you know the hot cup cab but the hot tub capital of smoking marijuana and dope and sitting in a hot tub of the world in 1980 was depicted in the movie in the 70s if you recall and that's behind out for the 23 year old constant and I saw this wire so I said to myself I'm going to make 5,000 copies of this flyer and I'm going to strip you to the mainland out to the 1,900 people that I had in the federation's list and this way they all know car buyers in town and what the real message of the bhavish is and I'm here to work with the reform revenue rabbi and congregation and conservative we had one reform one conservative one reconstructionists and now one Orthodox / Chabad no Yungas Road anyway I picked it up fly I remember five thousand fliers and put in my picture instead of rabbi Simon's picture who did I work for the reg'lar so I sent it to the river to just let him know what I'm doing a few hours later the secretary calls in me and he says you sent in a flyer to the river I said yes he says well the river made a comment on your flyer I said I don't believe it but I never you knows but I'm the new kid on the block you know I just got myself I was married to a half a year before my wife and I after four years and a four of marriage we go out to California to Marin County to start our life and then I do I do this at the river wrote to me to three lines the basic message was don't really in old arguments and I said to myself what old arguments so I asked three people I asked manis Friedman rabbi groaner all of a sudden and rebuked on my my spear I asked all three if they can interpret this answer to me why because I didn't have like Fox and the slob then in Marin County we were the only few of the VEX people there so what old arguments are is the Rebbe referring to if he's referring to the old arguments of must knock them I can see them from 200 years ago that wasn't the tariff I was in at the time I didn't understand it but now the last ten years writing about Chabad and other groups specially rich rock groups and rabbis and achievers I understand the rebels answer to me very very well how careful I have to be to not cause more arguments and old arguments but rather bridge people together which is really the underlying message of all these books of mine the last 10 years so I Makarova for supper and Lakewood and Hook never baba it's all to show unity although attack I tackle tough issues and controversy because otherwise it's not it's not authentic so I do deal with it but I try to present both sides fairly anyway I took those five thousand Flyers after I got this answer and I put him into my little garbage can remember and I said wow wow I had such a great idea but my Revis says it's a terrible idea and the Rev explained more into letting the answer and he said by the fact that I'm writing I am NOT Orthodox I am NOT reformed I'm not conservative it needs to say that you're not but there are sweet visions and that's not true because the fact that there's a conservative movement or conservative building and so to orthodoxson and reform doesn't mean that the Jew is conservative reformer orthodox a leaders a ye and there's no difference so by the fact that I'm saying I'm not I'm giving credence and accepting that there are three divisions so the Rebbe said that itself is contrary to what I'm trying to explain in my in my in my flyer brilliant and correct and I dumped it out so that's why I say to you that our never our neighbor was such a ye a Jew who loved every youth and there was no difference to him at all and I can give you hundreds of examples to prove this from you know I my wife had to say that of Zalman said of Bronski night and he was accosted from from Russia from from Ukraine and I saw that in his life to when I started my father-in-law's life to you know the lapavitsas I see them you know the ones that were understood Lubavitch kebab properly and who plugged in and had humility there was no there was no difference and I'm not saying only the baggage you know there are others too but by and large the message of that ever is this no judge mentalism no judgmentalism now that doesn't need to say that in the name of no judgmentalism you can come in barefoot and go over to the other than yours and you soon there is a decorum and if the shoe requires using stocks sucks going to the omelet you gotta wear shoes and socks and if you're barefoot though you have no socks standing the back of the short while standing the side of the shore now mental tight and and respect respectability is part of a element of the institution right so of course let's say the karl guksu that yellow needs the gob a of you know in the dye volume and in that right and III dive in there many times when I was in bet Shemesh that year and one of the things that enamored me that I love this I saw the Cuckoo's the ponytails and I saw the Kishida mother's triangles and I saw this when I saw that and everyone's dancing and singing it together and on one hand that is beautiful on the other hand if the rabbi in the congregation a certain you know guidelines as far as who should go to the young mid and how to dress and how to behave that has to be respected too so I don't want anyone to think that you know the Rebbe embraced every Jew me to say you could do whatever you want Chabad is not a place of chaos and anyone thinks it is a place of chaos it's not Chabad you should just know that now and he's screaming and waving the flags and making yourself crazy this is not in the kaabah ethos Chabad is very much plugged into souffl north and tradition but at the very same time the personal embracing of another year is is what the baggage is all about to the bottom line and the end of the furbling and for now is that is that we need to walk away with this this agasshi slow sentiment because that was the number one thing and we need to learn the rebus torques and is my maryam and it's directed in his letters and there's no question that you will find answers if you Club yourself in even today so I'm not saying it has to be through his letters I'm not saying you know I'm not true those who say you have to only do it through putting a letter in no you want to go to the oil go to the oil you want to go to 70 70 you want to Stan's be in your house and look at the rebus picture and that's how you get Direction Karla Cavalli I'm not I'm not gonna tell you that you're nuts you know everyone has their way of identifying okay and as long as within the confines of Jewish law and tradition and doesn't hurt anyone else it's acceptable but as the rabbit told of custard who wrote him in 1950 after the previous never passed away and he bemoaned the fact he said that happens might our rep is gone how am I gonna get you know direction and their ever said my you if you connect and you wanted to find guidance from the rebel he will come through the window he will jump through the roof and today I would say he would come through the facts this is outdated the email the Twitter and all the gadgets that we have you could get your answer and I'm and I am I took personally because I've seen this for 26 years in my life and other people's life if you're connected to the time and and and and you don't get lost and you go into Daris and and you're in tune and you're not looking for your own interpretation you know sometimes we write into their ignorance kodesh and we make our own interpretation to fit to fit you that that's not being genuine that's having a selfish motive okay now y know it it did not cease in fact it became more problematic for many years today it's not that way but it was very much more I would say just the opposite that with the Freda Karev yeah with Reverend Cutler in the you know and in the 40s but overall it was less than the relationship between them and and and the baggage of the river another Pacific rule so for example in the late seventies eighties you have to sacrifice II than fighting the Babbage and and then in the 80s 90s you had there a big shock upon of its fighting with Babbage you know you so I would say no it was it was more intense those more intense you know you know you know that's jealousy a whatever this is a hook this is a whole discussion that's a that's exactly what I'm writing about then you're trying to understand but at the end of the day it's you know there's my father better than your father and you know in the rapid didn't look at it that way but they did that's my humble opinion they did in other words why do you decide what you decide should be we're going to decide who are we we're all of we're all of the establishment and by the way the Modern Orthodox movies Robin salivate six and the young Israel world Oh the original not the new young Israel was totally right-winged but the in black had it had feathers the old young Israel got a lot of flack from the community from the same food trucks rather salivation was the biggest pariah till today they won't allow his teachings of Torah into their you see us could you imagine can you imagine such a genius of Torah such a Jew rapid salivating was such a town McLaughlin and such a special year the grand center of high and brisker of the people who they studied day and night and talk about they won't let the grandsons the grandsons Torah and teachings in their receivers I spoke to an author a comic up in here who puts out these essays every Shabbos and I asked him and you know the Bible says a big comic or you know shots and I said then why don't you include Riley Sullivan chick stories because if I do lake wouldn't take my and my essays and burn them I won't let them in so he has to hide it or not putting it and you talked about you know you talking about yuck you talking about you know that and see this is this is something that I learned from the river and I learned from them to stay away from to really stay away from very far because if you if you if you open up the pen it's it's a it's a it's an ugly it's ugly it really is ugly so don't even give it any credit no cretins don't pick things do it and just be focused on the mission so then you're asking so we'll find out then why are you writing about these things because the fact is that this is in the community so my hope is and I said I see what Hashem that many people who commented write to me and tell me that they hear me doesn't mean a degree but I want them to hear the other side than to see there's a balance and and that the river was not coming as an outrageous person trying to overrun them and and bury them and not and not accept what they say but yoni if you're asking how it was for the 40 years of his lifetime was a lot of criticism and a lot of disagreements and were just now I think seeing the the calm point where in Parnevik stuff seeing the alter rebbe is needed and the rep is needed some of the Hanafi with all the rabbi's on the dais i mean who would ever believe it or summer come the other day you just kiss Olivia rush alignment Binion a whole man right there are lipsticks lined up taking tests and Tanya under getting paid but whatever how much they getting paid already but nevertheless during the time of rubbish often in the 70s and 80s this would never happen never regardless of how much money you paid the buggers to attract students they would never learn take tests and learn Tanya and take tests and Tanya but now it happens so there is a very interesting coming up together of sorts today in in-between and Sacramento Barbara like best friends so it's a different world just but but to say that the ethos has changed not entirely we're still in the process you know to say that a Sackler is going to come say to himself the anti-zionist zealotry is not acceptable and my red being and those people were wrong you know they're coming to it a lot of a lot of them I'm an income by those that try out leave you know sacra in orthodoxy even I heard you know from others we can't continue teaching this in our schools I heard this in the name of a great a big Sackler here in the in the Catskills whatever and he says we cannot teach rabbit rabbit idle bombs initial you know zealotry because the young kids don't go for it that's amazing you know so so things that things are changing things are changing slowly and from in that way we're living at a very good time and a great opportunities of people kept getting together I would say that much better than during the rivers lifetime no question about it anyone else had a question or comment I didn't say any stories really the rebus so I'm gonna send you the 25 minutes I bring and I did for online and there you'll hear three stories new stories and lessons and enjoy that share it with your family today's a day also to speak to your own family your wife your children grandchildren and friends about you know the some of the the river this is it this is an importance not just another Jewish figure that this is a you know so and to give sadaqa to a to am i said that's associated with it with Labov each and Chabad to write a big inefficient end it to the oil to ask lemon to read for you there and to learn extra for citizen and a niggler a little bit you know you're wrong here two lines here I mean they're to enter light a candle and to learn some new tires for the Rebbe is name his name do whatever you can make the day so that tomorrow you'll say wow I really you know did something concrete oil for the rebels the Sherman may have sent out to help that the machine should come bottom line you know and everyone that's passed on including the rabbit should rise and we should all go together and all the differences should disappear and and we should just love each other and really care for each other and and and without agendas you know pure good old I versus royal loving each other because we're Yeadon and in that way we chose to love humanity people are good you know and whites and blacks and Hispanics and Porto Ricans and and you know riots and not riots and the director by the way you know you see maybe the ding-ding kiss was a black mayor of Africa the mayor that we had here in New York and he came to the revenue spoke them the river didn't even engage in any of that type you know what color are you it's a super color you but unfortunately we have this negativity that's out there and needs to be abolished you know and it's hard sometimes you know I could told you I told you know when I was nine years old my sister and I were mugged we lived in crying in East Flatbush which is near Crown Heights it was the end of the 60s 69 it was a very tense time in there and and we were young children walking and we were mugged by an african-american he had a big stick and thank God he didn't do anything to us but the damage that it did to me you know was was took years to and still if I'm walking the street then I see an african-american behind me I get scared you know I you know I have some fear in me it's you know it's something it's trauma that you have from trying to so I understand that it's difficult to overcome and not put the blame you know it's there's a reason why I feel this way because I was mugged at nine years old by an African American you know but it doesn't it doesn't equal having hatred and and and things have changed and and today you know the african-american community is it's much more you know civil and and and and nonviolent whatever whatever is it you know but again this is not my department or our department our department is serving us and helping another ye'd giving sadaqa doing you know learning and the importance of learning I emphasize that ever was leader Babbage should ever that showed that learning is not just Hasidic in Kabbalah but Gomorrah and how luffa was by him the ultimate so if anyone says to you the baggage is not into learning it's a fallacy and a lie because look at the labovitz addendum how many swearing to have that are mostly not a Hasidic sits mostly in Halawa and Gomorrah and life's lessons so we need to learn more and everyone here should make a flutter to resolution to learn something that the Rebbe is tolerated this is the rebus father's Torah and the previous Rebbe is my bond that we learned together but some but you know the registered I'm talking to myself because you know sometimes it's more interesting to learn to make the Rebbe latex torah or the previous Aretas my mother you look at the rebels you look at the rep is my Morin is so hard and in a way that's so not practical you know it's like more esoteric and more you know this level and that level it's it's a very difficult to learning and but there's a way to learn that to to make it more practical and I wrote a book called demystifying the my morrero two books years ago the mystical trying the mystical and demystifying the minor and I took what you know were fashion a lot of my ideas that I did in my young years have been taken by by other the private organizations Chen and others in trying I was the first one to interview the personalities in my book conversations were with the Rebbe I interviewed hime Potok Shoshana cardi you took some here a brand torski and spent in another ten the personalities okay that's exactly what the what the what Jim has been doing the last 20 years and colic of what and I've worked with them together and I gave him my material so going back to to to to the minor before the Hasidic heritage series I put out a book about 20 years ago called feed mr. find a minor where I took a minor for each young t'v and made it user-friendly and showed in addition to what it says in the minor the practicality of the minor and I gave it you know head titles and and and and and and synopsis and and broke it up so we could take a my murder evidence on one hand offhand you know looks very mystical esoteric and complicated and when you learn it well you can extract from it the practical aspect in your life and so we need to do on a day like this it's a day of reflection to to make our quota to start learning something of the rebus program or if we're learning to ready a little more of his teachings on a daily basis on a weekly basis you know it should be more of our weekly experience guys have a great day have a great day Shalom and maybe the sum of our ever having alia the high in the higher the high engages in the high engages in the high in unison the high and much admires may share sliema and yoni and everyone else on the Facebook life I see Zachary from the Sullivan and I see the Yakko spiel from Chicago behind to you guys to like isn't everyone great
