HaRav HaGoan v'haChasid Reb Yisroel Friedman

Shalom Aleichem it's desolation about how the Hassid hitomi are about going there be slow Friedman all of a solo known as they be slow there be slow although I wasn't his Talmud but because of his relationship and close this to my father I had an opportunity to speak with him quite often and in particular to discuss the Babbage history Hassidim and other Jewish history and that's what I want to add to what's been said already about rebel you know and I'll give a few examples of his style and Judea and his knowledge I approached him once and I said that you know what's your opinion about Arab salivate six brushes his his hokhmah is tighter AB Yasha bear salivate shake the rug and then I asked him in addition to that did you ever attend one of his yard side she wouldn't the rug gave two yards that she would him a year one for his father one for his mother I think for his father wasn't shocked and was attended by two thousand people at Lampard Hall Lampert auditorium at the University of Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan and was standing room only and was a for for our talked usually four or five hour talk with two hours Halawa and two hours brush so he said I'll tell you I went one time so that itself surprised me because other fascism that I asked never went it'll be so said I went one time I wanted to hear him actually in person and he said brilliant he spoke brilliantly however he said he repeated the same thing in different words several different times and I took that as an insight into the way W sorrow who himself was a-going simply a genius in learning his analytical style is clear mind his effort is hot of onion and everything else comments about another going I miss olive a chick and maybe a bigger guy so it was interesting to me to see how one going one genius perceived another genius and I walked away feeling that he was not enamored with his kindness as far as him being mahadesh him him creating two hours of constant new insights rather he had won the kuda which was the finish and that was phenomenal he said but his ability was to repeat that same hitters in different ways enthralling the crowd but really was the same kiddush so here is an example of rebel you slow who wanted to hear and see and in a sense understand the relevance elevate cheek then he snow also was a tremendous volume acaba and balm soffit he received a lot and he related a lot and not talking about Divya you made acidity for example he told me that before he came to the red but probably in 1956 or 57 early part of he and a few other bucket and was sent to faithful to Haifa in energy so to try starting Allah poverty achiever there and I don't know if was under the auspices of half garrison hang that Afghanistan hain was from the early to mean Amandla Babbage and he was a most ceviche year for whatever reason the achiever didn't last long had folded I don't know why but he told me about their guests in Haines who today knows about their garrison same no one we know about that defame and their cocaine was better to hate but who's dancing claim asked someone in Crown Heights who gets Ruthenians and I think very few will know that be slow knew the shale bears Iceland and he heard him Sam my mother and he heard and give I believe his commission pass this year and of course that's lame hi I'm is my sphere he he was his talented here in America he told me that he would spend a lot of time with Arab of Rama yo nevertheless he commented to me the difference between of shale Brook who he knew for merit is slow now by Brahma your and I'm Gary and absurd bear is Iceland and each of these things were to him on my shovel an entire Pasha an entire study it wasn't just a flippant remark oh you know I saw him and I heard him and then we go on I'm not going to go into all the details of the differences of these calcium what he told me I've written lots of it down and I huzzah in the Maya to publish it but what I understood from him was that he studied these customs so for my work of recording history and writing history and things like that it's very valuable I'll give you another example and this was this year everyone repeats a story that there was a certain part of the trader Shiva before he became a receiver there or a maggot Shearer actually he wanted he want he was offered a job to be a Medici in the Luca poverty is Shiva and the story goes that a group of Buckaroo went to talk and learning with him and they reported back that the fiduciary week and he they didn't think he would work out in there you Shiva and I had heard over the years that maybe slow was one of the buffering who went to this talk and learning with with this Russia Shiva so I met that of you slow at minute I'm head of Shabbos and after Mincha before he went to 772 the Devas room for brother Shabbos I asked him and he told me point-blank it wasn't me I was in the younger class and then he explained to me why this Russell Shiva wanted the job and in my next book Habad and de-limb I have a section on Parnevik about the pun of the trade off primarily and also about normally son and his father who would Labov ature family in Parnevik and the relationship with the rum cab with with the upon of each other of their gates of slavery Asaph Kahana men but explain to me that whole parcel again who would think that besides there you know I either went to if I had him I went to talk and learning I didn't go to talk and learning you had a hold my shovel he said let me explain to you what was going on at the time etc and why he wanted the position and why he wasn't accepted etc so I knew when I spoke to him it was it was a sought out a developed piece of history it wasn't just you know I here said he asked is a person that because of us he said this is she said dissing and we may catch on that I'm gonna have a mountain then we put it in writing and then people repeat it and it is not true I knew that I'd be slow what he says he thought about and usually it was correct finally he was a very silly shaheed and a big year of shin myeon once in the study I was in the rebels room and after our office I saw to be slow kind of take asafoetida and run around the Bema seven times and I asked him what's this he says hi professor you got it doc transit no I never saw that I never saw people being opted themselves to those seven times but he did it with such a fruit kite and such as highest and it left an indelible impression his appreciation for Aramis Pia read mail at Cebu who he told me he hired and brought to meristem was exemplary that may look was probably five six years younger than an abuser and a bistro told me that he chose him and brought him in to Newark to be my SPEA and I saw from the conversation that his higher offer his assessment and respect for the bailiff was very very special and we know that may look was a very special year but nevertheless I don't know if I'm gonna say now is is correct but it sounds I think it might be I think that his respect for the bailiff was probably more than anyone else that he had respect for during his lifetime as far as a Gossett his age a few years younger a few years older I saw this in the heaviness shafts rule I saw this in the conversation and I saw this when he spoke to me just a part of etiquette here and a part of attitude there a few words here a few words there about that may live that was tremendous and I think it's because that may lifts deer his knowledge in Ziggler and sidess and Cibola and his effort his tremendous horror Vanya where he didn't stop learning as long as he was awake this spoke today be slow because we know that that his slow was a Charlaine he had a sharp tongue and a sharp mind and he didn't tolerate nonsense there was no time to waste as people said on the program where they spoke about him for his Latian and in the bailiff he found such an individual man could there's beau'iful oh my gosh may I could there's bother who helped that there be snow then Rabbi Yaakov Friedman should have a lifted in GaN Eden and we who merited learning from him and being with him we should emulate his ways and this will surely bring a moccasin or for his neshama and surely he will be with the other and bring together with all other Sidon and Eden that ever back down LaMotta volcano Barry Shana who Eagle a no Messiah now
