i'm going out of shabbos
[Music]
actually
hater
tough shin pay aleph
if i told you that the pondovich or
shashiva the former panama
shiva rabbi complemented
would you believe it
i know i
as a teenager as a young adult
as a midlife adult would never believe
it
so the story i'm going to tell you was
publicized just this week
in an in the eritrea
website and it gave
the documents to prove it
but before i tell you the story just a
brief introduction
the panavicious shiva
opposed the rebel lubavitch in many ways
and
it was a a very difficult
situation in the sense that
it led to much
this much unhappiness
much stress and many other such things
and
that is something that i'm not going to
talk about
that's not in my purview
and as a hostage of the rebbe and the
bavaj
it's only natural to
honor respect your rabbi your father
in the sense that when someone
disrespects
him and embarrasses him and humiliates
him
and does so publicly you stand up for
him
but what i want to say is something that
abhayam shalom deich
told me this week i called him
he was a student in ponovich from 1959
through the mid-60s
i believe and he told me and he was very
close to rabbi
he learned by him and he said to me that
he feels that his antagonism to the
rebel
later on in the 70s and 80s the 90s
was not the age-old disagreement between
snagden
it was associated with his
closeness with her to rabaran cutler
which
i already wrote about this in my book
lakewood and lobovich at great length
with documentation
and for various reasons which we're not
going to go into right now
i just urge you to read what i wrote
there
rabaran opposed the frida karebe
in particular his call for the alta lagi
le chuvali alta lagiula truva will bring
immediate redemption
and rabara was concerned that that idea
will
lead to heresy god forbid
because you know what if mashiach
doesn't come
there were other reasons that rabaran
you know other reasons that he had
issues with the previous rabbit of
yeshiv
which we're not going to go into at this
moment
was hired as a shiva
teacher malamad a magic shirt
in barabaran while his yeshiva was in
class yet
in europe in koletsk
and rabbi dyche told me that
he knows from various things that he
heard or discussed with rabbi
while he was in ponovich that bashar had
a great respect for of aaron
and he was still from those who
didn't feel any changes to anything
of traditional european jewelry
should should should happen even though
we're in eritrea's role and we're in
america and
times have changed but he was a very
very old-fashioned that way so the idea
of the khadesh ocean
cipher's vert anything novel and new is
forbidden
uh was a very big believer in that
and rabaran was as well and because they
were close and they were related because
rabaran's zalman foreign
and ribes al meltz's nephew was rebecca
so there was a familial relationship
so from various angles there was a
closeness
and because
and things like that which are not true
of course
but that was his concern now whether
he's right or wrong i don't know but i
say this because to bring you into the
story
so the story is that um
[Music]
in 1982 a trooper named
rabbi mordecai
yitzhak zucker of lakewood
was working on his grandfather's safer
his grandfather's name was
um rabbi rottenberg mordechai rottenberg
i believe
and he wrote a safer yacht for yatmore
and they
pre-war and he never passed away in the
war
and he wanted to redo the safer
make it nicer with footnotes and all
that
and he came across something there that
um
he didn't understand it was from the
result it involved kabbalah so he
decided he's going to ask his rebbe who
was his rebbe he was his teacher as
rasha shiva
rabbi
so he asked him about
if you can explain this perplexing
remark
and rabbi shah said i don't deal with
these issues
this this is not something that i'm
familiar with the one who can help you
with this
is the labacher you heard me right
fellas
you heard me right 1982
the heart of the beast the time when
there was
issues and sends
rabbi zucker for clarification to the
rebel because he knows this is not his
field and the rebel knows that field
well
subsequent to that that ever wrote a
letter to
rabbi zucker which was you know
a little unusual in the 80s for the
river to write letters still he wrote
more he answered set luck notes and made
marks you know and then short comments
but he wrote a letter and he explained
not only that there was a mistake in the
citation there and the
word should be needs to be changed but
he explained already the overall issue
and robert zucker was blown away it's
like i asked you this one question
and all of a sudden you know you open up
this entire
understanding of which i really didn't
get before and
but you know of course you're the one
that knows this field and thank you very
much
then they printed the safer in 1983 in
tafsir mem gimble
and on the page which originally was
printed from
the grandfather with the mistake they
wrote in the footnote
that there's a mistake here based on
what we heard
from will be a scroll and they didn't
say the rebels name
which um you know i don't know why
um but um i'll allow you to
uh come to your own conclusions but it
does say that
in a footnote so as we go into shabbos
we have to know that
is where it's at and it's now so many
years later
and we need to bring people together
and to know that today they sing upon
which the altar episode again
there's no kiddish but the rabbis need
not some of the
is now sung in lakewood at various times
i'm sorry in ponovich at the various
times
so they should help that we should have
taka
togetherness and unity and tomorrow
shabbos is the
yama lettuce of the rabbit
and so it says gula it's a special time
to say look hi and even monster shop is
when you'll see this video mr sham on
