I couldn't have Shoppers everyone
pushes Yates
we'll talk about that a little later
it's also the Shabbos
the yay Malad is the birthday and the
yard side
of the second
Dave bear known in Chabad circles as the
mittal Arab meaning the middle rebbe
during the lifetime of the next rabbit
that samachariq his son
they would address the balatanya as the
altareba the old rebel then they would
call the second lab the middle of the
Middle River and the samachari they
called The Rebel
that's when those
that that's when the names
became part of the Chabad Lubavitch
dictionary
this this after all is a program of
History so it's important to know that
the next day Sunday the Sunday is youth
Kiss Live
in Chabad we call this the day of
redemption
because
was released
from jail from prison on this day
briefly
he was ratted on
he was informed to the
Zara's government
that he's that is involved in treason
he's supporting the Turkish government
against the Russian government
and this was done unfortunately by
someone who was at the time known as a
snugged
who couldn't get over the whole system
it's not the issue
and he found ways of accusing the middle
of who is the one that moved
the Chabad Center
from Leah d
the alterable was
before he passed away he passed away in
haddish but his his Abode before he ran
away from Napoleon's oncoming
Army he he he moved to the middle of the
year I believe after the altara passed
away he moved to Lubavitch
that 102 years we were in the babic
another was from 18 1813
to
1915 although the Yeshiva was still
there for a while
but then I shot himself left so it comes
out to approximately 102 years
so the middle of that was the one so
during the middle of this time is when
we became known not just as Chabad
hasidus but it became known as why
because we we our home our base wasn't a
little village called lubavichi
Lubavitch and different ways of
pronouncing it and how it's written in
different places
I just wanna because it's the middle and
ebb is special days just talk for a few
minutes a little bit about some of his
innovations that he brought to Chabad
citizen how it's applied to us today
so one example one thing in the middle
of Apple was very fond of was
the the proliferation of Hasidic thought
and Hasidic writing
he would take a minor of his father the
outdated balatanya that was two three
four pages and he wrote 10 15 pages
Not only was it a quantitative
difference it was a qualitative
difference in the sense that his his
elaboration of ideas and Concepts of his
father it was all his father's Tatum but
the way he articulated it both in
writing and speaking
it it's it it gave Food For Thought for
the mind and for the mind of The Thinker
and that's why in Chabad the deepest
thinkers of hasidus those that are what
they call masculine the Haskell of
they emphasize the um the learning of
the middle and epic see this later that
kind of took over that
because here's my modem as the rashbox
said he's known as the he's the rambam
of this why is it is
because of his analytical style
splitting hairs and elaborating
explaining and you know this was a very
unique style but Rashad himself says
that I took that from
so for example
I was told that the hasidim by Simpson
Robert Jacobson they were in the Babbage
in the early 1900s
what did they learn besides reviewing
the maimonium of the
Rebrand and all that they learned the
mythical episodes
because the depth of the star scholar
was there
so
a simple lesson for us is we need to
delve deeply intoxic thought and that
doesn't come from eating potato chips
popcorn and playing golf
it it warrants a a serious study of of
time and effort and my and mind
and say it's like not just learning the
gamada and not just learning Gamora and
Rashi but learning the taste with Santa
gamara and more so the maram shif and to
come
you know to really go deeply into it and
it takes a lot of time it takes a lot of
haravania a lot of effort that's one
point
the next the next thing that the middle
had ever brought to Chabad
is this idea of
formalizing
Chabad
in the sense of make your own Minion if
you're diving I'm giving an example they
wrote to him that they they're daviding
in shoes with theirs it's ashkenaz with
literacy
and they're they're really causing
problems for the Laboratories said make
your own Minion
and I always say this it wasn't his
style to combat and fight the Miss
London
following in his Father's Footsteps even
though they they wanted to literally get
have doubt that ever killed that's why
they they they they they informed on him
well it wasn't a game they knew if they
get him into jail he'll be next to be
mid-speed and finished
doubt that I wouldn't retaliate look at
you get a Sakai dish
a beginning doubt that ever says what
does he say over there
don't put your hand on them don't say a
word
neighbors that knows what to do God
knows what to do they don't ever
followed the same way
even after he was being informed on for
and accused of treason where ayed
clearly did that
he said don't retaliate
but at the same time you don't have to
put up with their garbage
excuse the expression I mean to say the
garbage of that time
where all of a sudden we are villains
because we because we say
and and and we have different the the
text ritual texts text ritual
differences of FILA
oh we don't save a shum room
so
make your own Minion and I take from
this an important lesson for us that
there are times when you're not wanted
somewhere go elsewhere
don't don't fight and don't try to
convince just go elsewhere you'll be
better off you'll accomplish so much
more and the same is true in personal
relationships
and the same as communal issues go
elsewhere
and finally one more point because time
is short
made his own choir which is was also an
interesting in the world of Chabad at
the time where there was always the idea
of Nagina
that's singing Under the Hooper the Arab
above us today but Hashem it's not just
but many other kahilas sing the
balatangi snake and at the time of the
hookah which by the way I'll tell you a
short story I heard this from the person
who it happened to
what he wanted this was in 1967 I think
he wanted he was getting married he told
me this himself he lives as a neighbor
not a labavage he's more of a literature
he told me that he wanted the
balitania's leading because he had a
connection to chabad's relatives
and his scholar didn't
Scala wanted and he couldn't I think to
be the [ __ ] be played
from of course
walking down a nice you know essay of
the forget the Negan of slamer you know
a beautiful [ __ ]
so yesterday
that you must play the Negan of the
balatanya
the rabbit didn't answer him it's a
minute but this is what they represents
it's fascinating it never said
what is a Negan it's the kuma Saleh it's
the pen of the Soul it's the nishama a
person not just
the real nephesh is expressed through a
nigget
[ __ ]
so they never said if you want during
your Hoopa the nepheus of the altered
ever to be there send out the rabbis
naked and if you want someone else's
they can to be there sing the other
person's naked
you're here you have to stop you hear
that that was tremendous insight
I'm one and it's so cautious but at the
same time that I've put it so succinctly
and so simply and so right to the point
a niggan is nephesh a nigging his soul
whose Soul do you want you want the out
to that but you want the flame the Carl
back you want someone else fine no
problem
took this idea of of the of the [ __ ]
and the gun him and he formalized it
with a choir yes he had a group of Bali
manager today we have the mizamide and
shida and it's so popular we're a singer
a famous singer even will have a whole
group of uh a choir Michaela like behind
them
did it I'm not saying he started it
because you know because of course we
had in the basement
but you would think that Chabad is a
scholar is intellectual you know what's
this formal singing together you know
you a [ __ ] in the Bible which we say
it's not that I'm now I'm gonna press a
button now [ __ ] number one press
another button [ __ ] number two that's
totally opposite and contrary to Chabad
ethos talk about philosophy ideology
in other words if I'm inspired a certain
way at a certain time something comes
out with one tomb I'm inspired another
way another time something comes out
with another tooth nevertheless
says
make a choir and they would sing and the
famous thing which we're going to sing
now in our section of negunim
the Battle of capella it's called the
middle of this choir
horrendo
to go into the place of Wrath a place of
problems
difficulties and how are you able to go
there because
you have a well of seven
seven Powers
gives every year to overcome the
difficulties and that's in in every Eid
has it so by Yates
first of the Jew that a yeet needs to
get up by Yates and go out not to sit
back for people to come to him or to her
but if to go out
go away from the bear shove or the
Comfort bear shovel take with you what
you learned as a boy and you're from
Yeshiva and you're from community and go
out to Carolina go out to Las Vegas and
go out to Timbuktu and go out to the
kibusima energy slow and go out to the
surroundings
places of Borough Park and Flatbush and
Williamsburg and Muncie and Lakewood in
Jackson go make a uh
Hashem around here we're having that
done he didn't move to Linden New Jersey
people to Staten Island but we may go
out more and there's so much more places
and guess what you'll get a better deal
on your real estate able to help the
schools of the balance
who was released from jail and you'd
kiss live
um the the year before it passed away
and therefore when it came time to
celebrate it
they didn't make the celebration the
first year but this was one of the three
times that the the Babbage was Youth
kislov and yutescus lives coming up next
week and we have to prepare ourselves
for that
able to help that is
