okay so good day today is uh
thursday the 22nd
of schwartz before telling you about
rabbi torski's family a bit
today is the rabbitson kaya bushka's
and uh maybe we'll even hop a line later
a story or a vert
but uh going back to tawerski well all i
could tell you is what i saw
as yesterday when i was monaka mobile
the family
there were three sons in the room and
one brother
he has two brothers that are left one is
arum
and one's michal mccall is the the one
who's the
took over the the the shoe and the uh
rabinet kind of who comes to bed chemist
that's the one from
from from milwaukee rabbi mccall
and the other one is our own who
was maybe still is a professor of lord
hofstra university in queens
i believe in queens and then so he was
there and he's
you know looks like an old he is an
older man and
you know uh getting older looks like you
know his voice is raspy and low
um and then there were three sons
there's one one is called bencion torski
he is a uh either a psychologist or a
social worker
very very popular in the front community
here
the zomboro park i think i spoke to him
once
then there is um
another one named i think aaron i think
and
i saw a son named arum
he's what lived in foreign oh there's a
fire
okay and i i spoke
no no that our own
is the brother as a brother i'm talking
about a son
a son anyway a son named
he was there and and i spoke to him i
don't i guess he lives in borrow park i
don't know
um and there's another the son
i think another son i saw them all i
went
i went to the women's the kitchen the
women were there and i
asked if there were any daughters they
said no there were no daughters there
so i think he has daughters you know but
i don't know
where where they are is narcissist or
elsewhere i don't know
you know that's so i saw
three out of uh how many children do you
have nine ten children i you know that's
what i saw
don't think so i don't think he has that
many children uh-huh i don't know
i don't know but they're all they're you
know they're all
uh not all actually two of them bore the
long casting the long frock
one of the brothers that naughty wore
short jacket and he looked
you know he had a beard and everything
full beard but um he looked more of
uh he you know not as hasidic
you know um as the other two
um but they they all it's funny i was
listening to their yiddish
two of them spoke your dish and you can
hear it's an american yiddish
i speak my yiddish is ten times better
than their judicial i'm also an american
but i grew up here in brooklyn
with holocaust parents and yiddish was
the our first tongue
i don't know you know you know rabbitous
and his wife
i don't know if they spoke either
home i really don't know but
it's noticeable that their kids that
grew up in milwaukee because their their
their yiddish is
you know i'm not going to say it's
terrible but uh anyone that knows
yiddish well picks up the
they're americans speaking giddish then
the third the third son the one i
described he was a little
you know a little a little little more
chilled you know
he spoke in english um a very uh
distinguished rough came in rabbi yakov
of joseph halberstam was a shul nearby
here
and he came in and and everyone was
listening to him because he goes back
with rabbi twersky
uh to the 40s and maybe earlier i don't
know
so so um i could hear
so when the third son spoke to him he
spoke in english
he didn't even attempt to speak english
she spoke in english
so um now you know that rabbi twersky's
mother
was the bubba rebe's sister
right rabbi the baba rave who
who who founded both of in america rabbi
mahal
his sister was rabbi twyski's father's
wife
you know his mother so so
there's a picture there's a picture of
them sitting you know at different
symbols you see the bubba
rub on one side his father on the other
side i think that's the picture of his
wedding
another another uh thing that
that just of interest is that um
i found it very interesting that the
people that came to be menachem
when i was there for the half hour royal
babavir and they weren't skvr
or chernobler i think that
the the bolivar world
is more forgiving and understanding of
him going to college we see when he went
to college and his brothers
it was a a a big big issue
it upset many people i mean it was like
because you know
here uh here is you know uh a rabbinical
a rubbish a family with very bright
people and educate
you know everything and that instead of
sitting and learning and becoming
you know massive russia shiva's they
they they went to college
except i think every brother went to
college except mikhail
the one that's in milwaukee every other
brother i think there's four or five
brothers five brothers
you know and it said it was the talk of
town
and the the square world and the
chernobyl world never forgave them for
that
like when i mentioned his name in the
shul here and square that i
darven sometimes they they they make you
know offhand comments you know
but in boviv i was able to hear from
this relative yesterday who's a very
serious man
in his eighties you know rabbi yakov
joseph halberstam
and he was explaining what what twirsky
told him about college and he
he agreed with it he said that the issue
of
you know this is tursky's opinion the
issue of becoming
not religious and because of different
philosophies he says that was never
their concern
because you know they're they're they're
mean and they're
mixture of men and women boys and girls
and he told over the story that twiskie
told them he's sitting in college three
and a half weeks
and a woman comes over to him who sat
nearby a non-jewish
lady and she says my gosh
it's been three and a half weeks you're
so unsocial you didn't say hello
so he looks up at her and he says hello
madam
it's very nice he came by but guess what
it's going to be this way
the rest of the time i don't speak to
women
this is what the rabbi uh halberstein
repeated that rabitoiski told him
years ago and he brought he brought out
the nakuda
that he was pressured sitting there as
as a from the hosted and you know he
that's it you know you can call me on
social and he was married
he was married with kids already oh
that's another nakuda that he brought
out
but so what i saw what i walked away
with from that encounter yesterday was
interesting that the above
there were above are you know more open
and and and it and it makes sense
because the bhagavad-gita
is like a chilled hasidis you know what
i'm saying it's very proper and
you know live and let live and just you
know what i'm saying
so um it was interesting okay let's get
to the mimer
yes okay i told you the story i told you
guys the story right with the bubble
rubble and my grandfather right i told
you
yes you did you did it so so i i tell
you
there's another story you were talking
about brothers so
so i'm out of the bounce and that's what
i'm listening to this year but i'm i
i'm out and about today i'm at home um
so
what happened was is that the 100 where
you are in brooklyn right
the hunk of sugar so that's that's his
brother abraham's brother
right right right so the hakuchi
rabba there was a kid my cousin made a
kiddish maybe 10-15 years ago he got a
baby boy
and it was a shabbos brist so i went to
this to
say which i was in america at the time
and um
i was living in israel though i went to
the show once and after
after the kiddish i went over to the
grandpa and you know of course he gives
everybody a hug so he gave me a hug
so then said i told him i said that i'm
from levine's
uh grandson-in-law he gave me another
hug
and then he says to me he goes what
happened to him what's going on with him
i haven't seen it
apparently they were very very close
friends and they were cousins
that i knew that they were cousins but i
didn't know that they were very close
friends but apparently
they were very very close i didn't know
that yeah well
you know in the 40s everyone was to get
you know such a little crowd the front
people people knew each other for me
especially in the 50s you know the
babajis and and
oliver lived in crown heights anyway
let's get we're on page
195 um the kids are
to the last paragraph
uh
the large body of of the world meaning
the the mic
the the macrocosm is refined through the
microcosm through man
how may the numerators who understands
and feels mikhail's naturally
of his vitality of his kayas
[Music]
he he sees how hashem animates the world
and in a specific way and he relates to
that
the who and this type of animation we
call
ham the light the energy that pervades
the world
we also explain that the body is divided
into three compartments the head
the body and the feet the yeast in her
ego
and the advantage of the feet hamamid
which erects the head and
lifts it up and makes it go higher
when did moishe receive the uh the light
known as the crown the illumination from
that exp
level it's because of raghav um
that cause that i know he should be in
in me let's go 196.
next paragraph all the sages say
yes um
[Music]
greater is the action more than the one
that does the action
okay so as it's known regarding those
that support the data they make it
possible
for the traitor to be to exist through
giving
money for tayden
dictator somebody who does
an action for his friend and he supports
the students of
are those that learn thai um
that person is greater than the one
who's actually
doing the act the ma'ase and the osa
the one who says
right he's greater okay
and just as it is regarding the act of
tadaka
for the purpose and benefit of those
that study tater
said which is very exalted
believe me the god lama says
someone who makes it possible for
someone else to learn torah
is greater than the actual person who's
learning the title
if that was important or something else
yeah
that too that too but let's see how he
develops it
the zou in your middles
the rapper says this is not camillus
right you have two things like i said
the other day avraham was kind
with exerting himself to to bring in a
jew to do
he also spent his own money by feeding
them
and the third thing is
the type of study is based on the
ability
of the people who are in the sheer hainu
you learn or stories
says this type of study is very exalted
very special
okay listen
again listen to different words to
express listening
and the rabbis say asukitos
they touch the word to make classes
kita's groups
will not be acquired unless you have
even those that can learn a very
in-depth type of learning
and they don't need this here they sit
anyway
and participate in this year and i saw
this my own lives at robert raichukov
in berkeley i saw it rabbi yehuda ferris
the shliyakam berkeley
would teach between minha mayrev and you
know the students
whoever the students you know something
relatively
simple and if she will david i saw
myself would sit down at the sheer and i
saw in los
angeles too and trust me he didn't need
to share
okay but there's such a thing and i my
fair taught me this too
that you know when there's a sheer going
on
you know unless you have something else
you know that you have to do
you should sit and participate in this
year that's what the rabbit says here
de la me boyish middle of
him surely someone who
teaches the people in the public chicago
great is his reward
and it exalts his soul canada the great
for someone to teach other people ashira
baraban
is a great great for the soul
so and so that for sure moshe is
you're doing the kindness by by
spiritual giving spiritual sustenance to
people teaching them
but also elegamus believe
those that participate in the sheer who
in ignorance
is he doesn't have to be there
he knows the material but he
participates because he wants to be part
of the group
no question about it but we're talking
and and and also you're right
i remind me you remind me when i was in
in in basement
you know you know i came to my principal
he was a survivor and a
husset and a very baton of kraken and i
said you know all my life i've been
you know having kavaros is teaching
others i want to learn with someone
who's either on my level in learning and
knowledge
or so more and i you know i want to
learn on that type of a level you know
i remember he told me he says i'm
telling you because he wanted me to
learn with a boy from
italy who just you know didn't know that
much he says you will get so much
more if you learn with him and i
listened and it was true
so but at this it's a good bill it's a
military option
so there is there is that thing yoni of
nafta when it comes but here we're
talking about the advantage
of barabbin let's continue
okay
and then i have a kind of addresses your
point the fact that you support
people who who who are learning
who tom kind of you're credited to be
called a supporter of the trader
of simple people who are not big tell me
and you make it possible for them to
learn together
whatever it is that ever says your
credit is greater
why because since they know less and
you're bringing them to the table all
together
it's a tremendous time and arizona of
the greatest kind that's what he says
just as it's explained regarding
self-sacrifice
that that simpletons simple people have
more mercedes and efforts
than the big intellectuals
right because the big intellectuals with
all their intellect
it's hard for them to jump in the
simpletons
they don't have just just make them
aware that it's beside us now fish and
they jump in
moving them
this emphasizes and expresses that the
virtue of defeat
is greater is is is
a very great virtue though ms who came
and the truth is this way avo coma could
nevertheless
when we talk about an inner
vitality slavish by ghoul that invests
itself in the body
the middle part of the body should nick
right you have the head which is the top
the feet which is the bottom and the
middle which is called the goof
who nyla because
there's more observable vitality in the
body than in the feet
if you give a kick your chest it hurts
much more
than the foot and and the regular
the
why because the middle part of the body
what we call the body it has the heart
void and all the inner limbs right
everything that's inside
the mushroom oh there is i think
too that the the the puncturing
of in the of the heart and the imma
limbs is bimashahu and ayoda drop
the outer other parts the
the the doesn't invalidate the puncture
doesn't invalidate the behemoth
when it comes to a puncture in the heart
or one of the inner limbs
even a drop of a puncture is already an
invalidation
and all of man's vitality
depends on that god forbid if there's a
hole in the heart we know the
the seriousness if there's a puncture in
the foot
you're not you're not dying you're not
critical but in the heart or the lungs
like we have now
islam with
consist of only
walking those boots are made for walking
just walk all over you
why because the regal is the last
kayak of the nephesh as it's expressed
in the foot
the hamidos the emotions which are in
the heart
hey nilem habisi are more a greater
he said take the hands
what are the hands they are only an
expression of movement
so you would think that the hands don't
have this intense
highest like the like the rest of the
body but they're similar to the feet
says that ever no hey nylon
the hands are more are greater than the
feet in this sense why
the beregger who rocks recostrators
with the foot you just shove and move
pebbles stones as you walk the koya say
yesterday
is a shared kayak with an animal as an
animal works
mashing conversely because the movement
in the hand
we write with it
which is considered of man's actions
it's the monstrositive of man and not
animals
moshe's field art art is done with the
hand
and it's demonstrative of man an animal
can't draw can't right
although art painting
drawing is all done with the kayak
with the hands the action
fish which is the lowest
kind of power of the nephesh action
orientation
so we have two things we have the
externality of
and we have the inner the panemias of
in other words in art it's not just
movement of the hand it's talented
movement of the hand it's that's why
it's ponemious
your innocent in other words there's
certain i said where you could be
excuse the expression like a behavior
and you could do like a behavior you
walk in the street in the snow outside
you push aside the snow and you walk
further
right but when it comes to drawing to
art that won't help you
because you you'll be a failure you have
to apply your talent
or or develop your talent so it's clear
how much it's the movement of the hand
but the movement is associated with the
premiums
it's coming from the brain yes yes yes
you're innocent we don't hear you
yeah when you when you train yourself to
lie
it takes less ten years of a hogma and
it goes down
into the hair correct that's what we're
saying
okay because
is there is
the premiums the inner and the outer
next page 197. the sign is
and the outer aspect of action
of the power of myself
it is walking and throwing
avo haksiva but writing
vatsir
that is the inner aspect of myself
the idea is with the gambas rica
even when a pitcher throws the ball
in his particular way it's called
mujo venez kamoy koleya
means he gets it exactly on the
the target he hits the target the lawyer
is a koleya he hits the target and
he doesn't sin
what does he miss okay hate
also means right right right
thank you yeah he hits it smooth
and also means lacking missing so here
the plus it means koleya ella
he he he throw he hits the target
exactly
and he doesn't miss the target
why
the immune system it's because the
seiko the intellect leads it this is
what
yogis was saying before it's coming from
seiju the emo when you're dying
emo means that the training of the hands
shabazzer
so moises stroke when it makes the
painting
is coming from a seiko that
trains their hands to draw in a certain
way
so it's an art and a talent
not just he woke up in the morning and
god gifted him
but he trained himself yes he trained
himself somehow to use that
part of the cycle to express itself in
the
in in the brush in the art
nevertheless
says
when it comes to srika
throwing something with the hands the
main thing is the
action the mice in other words
in order to hit your target right let's
say a golfer i'm just saying
to hit the the the ball the the thing to
go into the hole that's an
r yeah but but the rabbit says the
anchor is the mice you got to give a
good
swing and a start to swing so that it
goes so far towards the hole
so the icker what's what's primarily
felt in this act
is the action true you you assess
how far and how much kayak you need but
what's primary he says
is the mice let's see let's see further
before the
and the proof is that it says the proof
to my argument is
as soon as the kayak
that you put into the throw
ends neueful hanizrak the island that
was thrown
we call that the nisrak falls
the tivoi gravity
so in other words when you throw
you're doing something against gravity
and as long as that clear hamas of yours
is there it's going to fly
as soon as the mice that you put into
the throw
ends it reverts back to its very self
which is what which is your
which is your your your natural gravity
goes back
so what do we see the previous episode
what do we see
what is the entire
structure that's happening when you
throw something it's the kayak
that's emphasized conversely
aval but see you or michael didn't know
you're getting a
a lesson a lesson in art this morning
aval but ceo
with the fleet of canada you never know
before
and these new things come up i will but
see her when it comes to art
which also is with the stroke of the
brush
session in addition to the fact that
it is a garment it is
a uh a vessel for the mind
the intellect who says i want to draw a
man with a hat
on top of a bridge so you have to think
of the bridge and the man to say ho
and then you progress to draw it right
so the the drawing
is based on the cycle
right nevertheless
[Music]
in art he says in syria
there it's the emphasis is not the act
the actual drawing the emphasis is
the idea we call that the his gabrus
the overpowering of haseko
of the intellect
so in other words one second once one
second
give you one second then i'll let you
you can be
you can have a talent you say have a
talent they haven't had talent for
drawing
that i've been saying here talent tahin
talent ahead and see this expression
whether you have a talent you don't have
a talent if your
cycle doesn't dominate
and control the the stroke of the of the
of the brush
it's not going to be as nice
as it could be this gabriel
is what's primary so what the rev is
doing here here
cabre is making a difference between two
types of action one is one is called the
throwing of the hand and one is called
the drawing
with the hand and he's saying that in
the kayak of the hand when you throw
something
you see that what's emphasized is the
koa
the mice the proof is as soon as the
call ends
it reverts back gravity falls down
that that's not seiko so you know it's
even though i
kalea lassiera he brings the posik
hitting the target
so you have to aim right you have to aim
very well
where is the target what do i need to
get to the target
nevertheless how do you get to the
target to kayak
through putting a lot of effort into
that throw
in a focused way to get to the target so
they're highlighting the emphasis
is the koi kamai what we call earlier
the consignus
the external the exterior whereas
in in the in the art
there the emphasis is not the titanius
but the pneumous
i.e the seijo
because if you draw because you're
talented but there's no
cycle there you're going to have a hot
splash
and maybe today that's durian a lot a
lot of art
and they decide they make a name of it
and it's worth a million bucks
and you have to buy it and you say what
is this
but but let's get let's get back to the
point
his gabrus hase
the overpowering of the of the of the
seiku
over the koyak that's the emphasis in
seer
let's continue i'm sorry yoini you want
to say something
an artist is creativity and and
throwing a ball it's uh michael jordan's
athleticism
so he's talking about that it's much
more it's much more cushion
is on the creative on the creativity
level
rather than on the athletic level that
that that's i i like the way you put it
i i think that's a that's that's a
that's a good way excellent way
there's more create there's more create
on the there's more hashibas on the
creativity versus the um behavior
uh he doesn't use the word kashivas he
used the word kitsono supremius
but i it's the same idea in other words
this touches yogi in seer in
art in drawing it touches the inner
aspect of soul
and and and in the other one it touches
the external aspect
now by the way he's not belittling
and he's not telling you know la michael
jordan or someone else
you know these athleticism it needs
training too
right but what's emphasized there is the
mice
yes moshe i just want to make a decide
distinction
um and i because the way that you're
describing
what the photographer's saying is an
artist
who is developing his own ideas and
compositions
and thoughts and i'm curious
i know that i was from from experience
there's also a very significant there's
a difference between when an artist does
that
as opposed to an artist draws or paints
from direct observation in other words
he goes
he paints what he sees with his eyes
a landscape he sees a still life of
flowers
and that is a tremendous tremendous
um to take the tremendous talent
and development of sounds to achieve
what's called
an art world it's called a likeness like
for example
just like this means that you draw or
paint something
and when the viewer sees it they
recognize the item
immediately because the artist was able
to capture
what item or the person actually looks
like
i'm just making a distinction but i'm
just saying that i'm curious what the
friday grebby would say about that
because
i'm just saying from my own experience
it's it's it's a it requires a
tremendous amount of
effort and development of uh and so
forth
it's interesting he writes siva because
when i write
like i was just writing now before the
share when you write
the there is a tremendous tremendous
uh focus that you have to do
on the craft of the writing but it's
it's much deeper than that
the strokes the minuscule
strokes the movements you can make with
your fingers in your hands
to achieve very good results it's
it's very intense
so you're saying the intensity is guided
by the seiko
is that what you're saying yeah yeah
yeah you have to
you have to be there you have to access
that safely and you have to really
really give it all you've got you got to
focus and focus
it's not okay not like you know oh stop
saying it's good yeah no i'm just saying
it's not like you know it's like you
know a person works in
i don't know something he's just oh i
need to send that fax he just goes over
and he
you know presses a few buttons or
whether he puts
he it does not a tremendous he doesn't
have to put everything he's got
in descending facts right right well
when you're
writing you're writing something you're
writing to fill in mezuzah's secret
torah etc miguel
you have to give it all you got i
understand i hear you
no i i i hear very good i'm a bonus
regarding what you said earlier i have
to think about it i i don't know
enough about it and uh it let me
let me just finish the my the paragraph
but the last point is
the issue is the the i
my the i mind
hand coordination between those three
elements of a person and i'm just so so
i'm just
i'm just putting that out there right
when you think about it
i mind and coordination okay i
i mind and hand coordinate hand
and hand coordination all three
obviously have to work together
right right and they're governed by the
seiko
okay let me just finish
the primary beauty of art who are
it's what the message of the picture
schmool that is the beauty
not the actual seer he says if you
really want to talk about your feet
about beauty
it's the message that this particular
art expresses
and this is the pneumous of and it's so
true
right what would you rather have like
you know from my books or book covers
right
a regular picture or a descriptive
picture
you know you know well let's see i i had
a book on soccer and lubavitch right
that was about that so so i chose the
bigger hail and bus
of the sakura casita and i put it on the
cover
why and it's not such a gevalting
picture
but it's a message that they're into
bicker highland
and people who saw it they said we got
and then alabacher i put
up a bucker putting uh i think putting
on chilling with a policeman
what do i want to bring out the contrast
the laboratory emphasizes putting on
filling with eden
and sapphire giving food to eden both
are govaldic but it's a different
approach so that was that you know so
it's the token
of of the pictures that really bring out
what the picture is all about
have a great shabbos it's the rebecca's
yard site
and uh and she
she she was a mainstay to our rebbe
both in the beginning when she told him
you know if you don't take the
leadership
and be the rebbe my father's and
grandfather's
hasidis will go down the tubes you know
who's
and she pushed the rabbit to take the
responsibility even though he was
not interested in it and he did it and
then again in 1985
86 with the swarm she
she uh said clearly to the to the lawyer
and then to the judge
that if not for my uh he asked her so
doesn't doesn't it all belong privately
to you the books to your father
and she said my father
and and all his belongings
and that's who he was he wasn't an
individual who had his private bank
accounts
and his private houses and and et cetera
et cetera
and and and this was a vulnerable line
that the judge
saw that this is this is one of the key
ideas that
made that case go in favor of lobavich
was her words so although she was a very
modest and private person you know she
didn't come to the fabregas
i you know she we never saw it for
brainians
she didn't want to make a splash if she
came to bring him everyone would make a
lot of room around you know what i'm
saying would be
she she was very modest very private
very i grew up i never saw her i never
knew anything about her
nothing and not only me or me my friends
and
the entire the barbers community very
much
like you take for example the rabbits
and rivka the previous rabbit's mother
and even his wife robertson
medina you know they were more active
with the the
the women's organization and supporting
the yeshiva
and them and making sure they had food
and things like that
but um representative was very private
you know so
um but behind the scenes every
every year strong and special man has a
special woman
