today uh we're not going to learn from a
safer I'm going to continue uh talking
about the different customs and
preparations for the Yaman nairaim for
Yom Kippur and sukis Taylor so this
Shabbos is called Shabbat shuva some
call it Shabbos tishuva now Shabbos to
shuva the reason for that is because
it's the Shabbos and it's the one
Shoppers within the assets
so that's why we call it Shabbos tishuva
why do we call it Shabbat shuva because
they have Theta of Shabbos chuva
Israel
starting with the shin without the tough
and the hence we have two names for the
Shabba see the Shabbos chuva or Shabbos
shuva I would say most people call it
Shabbos shuva without the tough that's
one one point of reference
no I'm not making any noise
you're innocent sensitive he hears okay
now
uh lacking lacking the top seems to lack
a certain to meas quality
uh I uh I got the I I got it
anyway
since yesterday when he comes back I'll
say what I wanted to say because
something he mentioned last week anyway
another thing that khabar does this
Shabbos is not here to tell us if they
do it in Boston or another mid-hug him
or maybe he'll you know from tone I
don't know but in in Chabad this Shabbos
we like specifically a candle and it's
called a chuvalicht lift means a candle
and Yiddish lift
so we light Friday for Shabbos a 24-hour
candle even Hashem you have your parents
and you know it's not for yisker it's a
true Village
that's bro that's a Chabad custom and
I'm not sure anyone else does it but
those that follow Chabad should be aware
of this I've never heard of that in any
other states it sounds like a nice
custom okay
now you're innocent sister back uh I did
have a discussion with Robert paltiel
about what you said
um in his name of talking to your wife
uh or I don't know exactly I don't
exactly remember your words but I
believe you said something to talk to
your wife on Rosh Hashanah because the
concept of Russian is being in our
mouths to build and a woman is a
monkey's royalty so therefore that that
idea
so you remember I reacted pretty uh
um surprise I was very surprised and I I
sent her a Portillo note saying that one
of my students sent said this in your
name and
um you know just did you say it and
what'd you say you know whatever
so he said that he did say something to
that effect
and he he he he he he he cited he found
the rebel said this the rebel said it
1987.
[Music]
and he sent me a copy of the secret and
the number said it on every Rosh
Hashanah not Rosh Hashanah that's why I
reacted because Rosh Hashanah and Chabad
we barely talk and the whole concept
should go talk to your wife it just
whatever it took me by surprise
that the rapper said and this is also a
hiddish
would say it because we're closer to
Messiah we're more bottom line and we
need more these type of instructions and
he said and then episode
he said that
his predecessors would make a point to
go in to their wives to give to get a
broker from them and to give a brother
something like that
it wasn't to have conversation that's
what it says I I don't you know I'm sure
they have conversation but the the the
Kuda of the of the emphasis was to get a
broken to give a brother and then there
ever said since I heard this from my
father-in-law and he heard it from his
father going back to the outer River he
knew that I would not control myself and
I would spill the beans
and then he said if that's the case
and we hear it he means all of us
including us today so many years later
we have the power to give a brother to
our wives and day to us and we should do
that
that is the the history of that so I I
just wanted to uh a thank you I really
want to thank you for making me aware of
it either I knew it and I forgot it or I
never knew it so number one after Claire
thank you
you know it says Michael medai Jason
McCullum a a teacher learns more from
his students than anyone else so here's
an example I learned
this from you so anyway the bottom line
is
yes thank you you've taught you've
taught me at us quite a bit over the
years with the different insights you've
shared but anyway anyway
um
that that that's that's the record you
know and again here I just want to
conclude this the
one should not make out of this amount
you see this is a problem we have today
anything any anything couple says we
blow it up on the front pages of the New
York Times
that ever said it and and if you if
you're motivated and do it but you know
what I'm saying it especially Chabad
real Chabad they didn't you know the
show the the splash now we understand
that but did more of a little bit of the
show on the Splash and encourage that
because that's the world we live in so
that's why his predecessors kept it as a
secret within the family and that was
the one that spilled the beans what his
father-in-law couldn't spill the beings
the previous celebrity couldn't share it
with everybody
the world was not right
told Professor Don Street Seaman of
Emory University I brought him to the
bio for into for an interview
and a fact it's in my uh in my book in
in one of my latest books I put in a a
part of the um
the interview anyway so
he asked them a question he says where
do we find in the outer rabbis Torah in
Tanya look at the Tyra and Terror and
doctor of his teachings that you should
go and stand on the street and put on
filling with Jews
then he asked another question where do
we find that we should go and talk to
about the seven no hype laws
we don't find such a thing in in in in
in
so he asked him
you know and the rebel was very from and
very much did any only what what he felt
his ancestors would have prove in a
sense so when did they ever get the kind
of audacity to do that because it seems
to be out of the pale
but he asked to step down with their
herits except gave him an answer with a
personal experience and I share that
with you I was there I I brought them
together so I was at the interview
so he told them like this when I was uh
when I was a younger a young younger man
when I was a teenager or whatever in the
1940s
we went to Allenby you know they lived
in Ramadan and Tel Aviv the Bible went
to Allenby Street
and Allenby Street in those years
was already very secular in the sense
that they were either system
who grew up in Russia and they didn't
believe you know Communists and
right and there was many of them that
was a culture a whole culture
okay so today you have the Michigan Tel
Aviv today but then you had the the the
Clipper of Enlightenment the secularism
and laughing at from Yeadon
and he said I and my friends went to put
on filling with jewels on Adam B that's
what he said
or maybe talk to them about the keeping
Shabbos because they're free to get up
and spoke about shmirah Shabbos made a
whole campaign in 1943-44 about Shabbos
observance so maybe it was about that so
he asked the question he said
no I'm sorry no no I'm sorry he said no
he said we did not do that we didn't ask
him to put on film he says why today you
go on Allen being the buffer of my out
there Friday afternoon putting on film
with Eden everyone knows that wherever
you go Friday there are Le Papa from the
yeshivas
because the time wasn't right
the time the world wouldn't hear of it
at that time
things changed and now you could go on
now and be you go here and yes there are
some people that still make problems
that's been reported but overall it's
makuba
they're absolutely said to the professor
Seaman the same is with the seven dog
height Campaign which you came out with
in 1983 and the same is with other such
things at the time before the Revelation
that the Sadiq reveals something in the
world the world is not a Kaylee the
Sonic senses this the the energy that
Hashem puts into the world and
until a certain time
it's not the world is not ready for it
for example
why the only Mitchells that are born in
that Mr Raisa because until Hanukkah
happened the energy was not there it's
not just they didn't have a war with the
Greeks and all that
the world was not a vessel for the
energy of Hanukkah hence there was no
Hanukkah
once the world
became a vessel for that energy there
was a there was a Hanukkah nest and we
have Hanukkah and the same in the so the
bio said the same as with all these
things so this explains why possibly the
previous before did not share this
minute of talking to your wife Eric Rosh
Hashanah and the rabbit did and you
asked why because the devil who knew
these things because he's a Sadiq and he
says that now the world is ready from
God says I'm I want this now and
therefore the topic it comes out as a
revelation for him that is a Chabad
belief based on Torah
Etc so I just say that
there's nothing to be embarrassed with
I'm making it very clear nothing to be
embarrassed with to put I'm feeling what
they eat in the street in fact we see
that all the lead organizations and
all the other Hasidic organizations are
doing the same thing and borrow Hashem
as I've told you many times the previous
representative came to America I don't
have a copyright on either Skype
I don't have a copyright it's open to
everybody you know
led the campaign over the years in those
areas great now the bells wants to do
that with their people great Gary what
gear has a campaign to to give out
Shabbos candles I told you my wife is
very involved here in borrow Park every
Friday a group of women go to Kings
Highway in Brooklyn here and they stand
and give out black candles that's
exactly what the rapper said in
1974-75 when he came out with the
myths of the campaign of girls should
light candles from the age of three on
so maybe Garrett doesn't say from what
age you should like candles but the idea
of standing on the street not standing
next to your shul next to your house
standing on King's Highway which is a
walk by mostly non-observant Jews and
non-jews and and offering Candles there
Hashem
so so the the idea I'm saying but but
but to go you know to go and say and be
we're going to put up posters on the
street make sure to talk to your wife on
that representative make sure to get a
blessing for her
islamukubao you know in Hebrew we say
and give the Hebrew
late
you know that expression
it
it it don't go you know it's a little
tombolorea you know what I'm saying
common sense but did they ever say yes
if you want if you feel motivated to do
it do it but do it properly that's a
general thing I want to go back now to
to Shabbos truva we finished with the
Shabbos Cuba basically the the only
minute that's different than Chabad is
what I told you about the candle okay
yes my
I want to make foreign
I want to know
in many many killers and Shabbos Cuba
it's very common that a Shabbat sugar
drusha 12 gets up you know
I just wanted to ask about that
in general okay
I just want to know okay cheers the
answer is it's like it's a Jewish
tradition
it's not
supper it's not Spar the lead
however however
so we considered the Shabbos for
bringing as the Shabbos to Russia
however if
wanted to give a treasure between
minhamaire when there was time see that
there was a technical thing the river
started her brain at one o'clock 1 30 in
the afternoon Shabbos afternoon it would
go 4 30 to 5 30. no most people didn't
need so the Shabbos the buffering for
sure now so they would go home to eat by
the time you came back I was running my
Rift time so there wasn't any time for
the Shabba Shu with Russia so most
Chabad shoes are saying Crown Heights
didn't announce a championship with
Russia
but let's say outside of clonides if
there was a larger Jewish community
it's very appropriate that a Chabad Rob
should give or you know uh address
Russia so
so what I'm saying is that it's it's
it's a a yiddishizak it's a Jewish
tradition but in Chabad it's not
emphasized because the river for 40 um
for 42 years
so we didn't call it a direction we
called it a fabrangan is that clear
Maisha
clarify
um
I don't remember where I saw this but
you see that many aren't very often the
Shabbos sugar drop shot is like a pill
pull
not always but many times meticulas it's
a dark it's like a pillow it's like a
very you know
very deep in terms of sources and
but isn't it
I I always was under the impression that
chapter
the roof wants to get up and gives a dry
shirt to make give people the you know
it's to give people the food what's the
service made sure of them yeah yeah yes
and I would say that the red bird was on
the same page like you and and I think
over the years he might have said it
that you know it's it's great to begin
with different you know different people
and divide uh Gamora and all that but
there has to be a halachic emphasis that
ever always emphasized that there should
be a halach emphasis and a more
practical you know walk away
um but but you know it is in fact it's
funny you ask because when I sit there
and show in the morning I'm just coming
from there right in front of me on the
wall was all the Myron mcclainments all
the citations for the upcoming sub
address of the rough and they're all
from the from the gamaran and and then I
said Caleb and the commentaries and the
slack
so right in my face
yes that is the tradition
that that is the tradition uh why one
second why that is
you know they
I can only surmise that you feel
let me say this they feel that because
we've progressed this is uh I'm
surmising
and the Benet Torah you know if you tell
them we're gonna talk
just bottom line laws or an
inspirational to Russia
because because they they they you know
they consider themselves Elite so they
have to hear Hindus
I would say that that's that kind of
took over so even the Hasidic
communities like if you're not giving a
Shabba Shubert rush or a Shabbos have
goggled Russia that twice a year
addresses that has you know meat and
potatoes and all that you look like a
weak link
I I I I believe that's the reason so and
we would have to do research and I
haven't done it but you're welcome to
find out I think in Europe it wasn't
that way I think in Europe
the market or the rough got up shop
he gave Musser big mustard and he made
you cry
that was the shopping and on the line of
what you're saying Maisha but you're
saying that because you know but in the
literature world I and this can be
checked out pretty easily I believe that
was the the emphasis it wasn't about a
collection Tysons
I don't know so I might be wrong but
that's my feeling
I understand so I guess that um that it
was not the Min hug of rabam to speak uh
publicly except uh Chavez chuva and
Chavez Salgado you told her the two
times the Rob would speak and shul
you're talking about you're talking
you're talking about a rug a rug a rug
yeah a rubbing a shoe you know if they
were like he didn't who would travel and
speak and come go from town to town and
and that was more more how Musa got
communicated and uh and things uh and
that was sort of uh the entertainment
the spiritual entertainment of the town
but when the but that was the one those
were the opportunities for the rub
to sort of show the kahila what he was
working on and what he oh really where
did you you heard this or you read this
hello
I I
um that's my understanding I don't
remember where I remember okay it this
is something that's good that we're
discussing it it's something that you
know if you guys come across anything
and writing on this I'd like to know
because I I haven't research and I tell
you the truth and you know I'm saying I
grew up in the community and and for
example
came from Poland he was a big cup and he
gave SRI Russia and the rebel encouraged
laborers to come out of respect to
listen to it and I lived in Borough
parks with me was not a big deal right
so I remember one time he spoke about
the importance of a beard
and it was funny because at that time he
had a goat's beard
but he didn't you know you know did he
now he he might have began with a Gamora
but it's more to Russia and Agoda versus
halacha and pupil okay
that's what I remember now that wasn't
Shabba shouville it wasn't Shabbos it
was Shabbos it was the SRI between
but but I hear you I hear you what
you're saying is uh very interesting
that's why historically you're saying
that those are only two times a rough
spoke okay I I I don't know I mean you
know you're saying that Arab never spoke
throughout the year from the bhima
that's what you're saying
yeah doc I think that um I think that
that is much more modern and uh much
more of a modern Innovation that the Rob
would speak you know regularly a Shabbos
to Russia that kind of right before I
forget you any what's your grandfather's
name I want to dedicate the Liberty to
your grandfather
um
band what Ben what Ryan
Lee it's your mother your father's what
side my father's father father
and he should bring that a full slaver
for your father
okay
Mike any more on this or you're clear
yeah just one last question just
following up and what we're discussing
right now
is it very kind of was common in in
general in placidious circles that the
rabbit so will only speak in terms of a
tissue for bringing
Etc
I'm assuming that that would be a rub
you know like like a you know like a
more aesthetic
Etc you'd be the one to give it to give
like address
look look
let's see without whatever until our
ever this idea of speaking every Shabbos
didn't exist this by the six previous Le
bobbys the previous syllabus started to
introduce more speaking you know what
they called secrets on a Shabbos or a
yamtiv or you test Kiss Live and you
know but until then the river are sharp
fabbrained only three times a year now
what the Bible did is they set a mimer
that they set every Friday night that's
from the altarebus throughout whatever I
would ever didn't do it Friday night he
did a travesty afternoon
so in khabar the emphasis was the maimer
hasida
okay now when you talk about other
Hasidic movements let's say uh Chernobyl
you know and and and and others there
well compared to Chabad there's not a
lot of
trusses and the talks that their rappers
Gave Over the history that's you know
they at a teach they settle for it so
the same
in Poland you have six I think six five
seven volumes of of his thrush of his
they've retire at the Tish you know so
it was vertlack verpla short words on
the partial very inspirational and very
you know then when they wrote it they I
think wrote it more elaborately or or
more explained or sometimes not
depending on their pen and their ability
and all that swazem is is a very hard
language to understand that's why the
institution of gear has opened made like
a series
but but
the the the the rappers didn't like you
say now for example Bells now I
understand that once a year the
belzareba gives address
in the middle of the day that's kind of
the uh
you know the president speak the
inauguration speech
yeah State of the Union yeah
it is it is in a way the State of the
Union Bells is that simcostara talk now
whether his uncle
did that I doubt it knowing a little bit
about him I I doubt it and whether his
father the the the the SARS show them
did it I doubt it I I don't know you
know so so you know but just like our
River started to bring every Shabbos
because he saw otherwise they're gonna
we're gonna eat shown to fall asleep but
waste our time so he said I'm Gonna Keep
he here not every shoppers but I'll keep
you here that's it then you'll hear and
if I'm speaking you're going to want to
come you have to come some came after
chosen came before Jones but they tried
coming right so uh for example this
whole thing I don't know how it's about
you guys in there to throw but this you
know this thing now I see here let's say
above they keep the people to five
o'clock Rosh Hashanah I've we finished 1
30 to 2 o'clock both days
and we started only nine
now does have the shortest stuff in
English
no we don't say most of the government
just we don't it's not part of the mimic
it's not that because we're rushing the
Davenport
they don't do them again right right
right that's that yeah that's the minute
that's the minute but I'm saying is what
I don't I grew up in Borough Park and
and Bobby finished at 2 33 5 o'clock so
I asked people they said they were in
the previous rep he started this because
people were just wasting and talking on
Rosh Hashanah such a holy days I'll keep
you sure another two hours
you know so there's a you know there's
been also this practical aspect of
readjusting even the way the Tish works
the fabrangin or the schmooze and and I
think this is this is true in all
communities Maisha fine
but but I I I do want to I want to leave
with that Lit it is it is the right
thing to go to a Shabbos chuvit Russia
if there's one in your community be
respectful to the Rove to the or someone
else
you know what I'm saying it's the right
thing to do and it has nothing to do
with being a fussy it's not a fussy but
baby
now if you have multiple dresses and you
like hearing it in English or in English
you're like in Hebrew Hebrew like this
one okay fine but but
yeah your kids and grandkids should know
that there's a rough saying you know at
Russia and anyone that let me say is
anyone that that dismisses
this is this you know that's for them
it's not them you know that's for real
it's wrong it's wrong and it's not
Yiddish it's not Chabad and it's wrong
you know now I myself don't don't run to
dresses I tell you the truth I I don't
why because I'm used to from the rabbit
and I'm wrong also I'm wrong also if
there was one that was closer to my
house and it was easy for me to walk I
would go it's not that I'm against it
you know
but if someone is able to it's it's the
right thing to do to show you know to
show that it's the right thing to do but
again
yeah yeah but but
away
the fact is the hasidisha world like
what you said before the rappers don't
make these Shabbos at rushes
Russia so for example in in the
satellite above of scholes here
they'll have even not the rough but
someone who is a talmouth they'll ask
him to say uh
address of people
so the hasidim have kind of gone along
with this idea of of of sharing people
but they'll do you know
things like that you know what I'm
saying
um we have a laboratory here who's World
known he's a he's a book in shots right
by right Port you took right port
and he taught us in our shoe let me
Shabbos you know and then we'd be close
family friends and really a big time
o'clock and he sits and learns all his
life God bless them when they're 1974
there's Oil Embargo God blessed him and
overnight he became a very wealthy man
and um he
for the last 40 years I can remember he
put He has someone put up posters on the
streets and all the shoes that is giving
the shabba's sugar dress the Shabbos and
God of Russia
and and and and and he speaks like a
real Russian
he's 85 years old so they can name the
other you know what I'm saying he keeps
the TR and he gives real rambam and and
then you know deep insights you know it
definitely follows the classic litfish
that that's that's his style what yes
does he speak in Yeshua no oh oh wait
so now sure what I've seen them do now
is
and they don't want to change that
so there's not enough time so what they
have him do they have him speak to him
in Friday night
yes so kind of
he gives
somewhat of his Russia for us in in on
the Shabbos in Friday night
that that's been implemented earlier and
I think it's the right thing it's
covered for him
and it's the right thing that you know
that the hour youth should know that
this is a Judicial tradition
he said this is
yes
so who gives that Josh
no no rather right but when he when he
announced it was a full page of
marmacomas on all the streets of Borough
Park
no no I didn't know you you said before
leaving your shoes oh that that was that
was a showman Shabbos what happened
during the week the rabbi Tim tear now
turn now or he said see the sugar person
he's a he succeeded giraffe and and he
gives that to Russia with all those Mama
Comas yeah so what I'm saying is that
the hasidisha world seems to me those
that do give that Russia have gone along
the literature world and really made
that Russia uh you know that now I'm
sure they end with a with a with a story
or a vert you know look rather
who was the master of Russia's
for his yard side of his father and his
mother he gave what was known as a
yardstick Shear twice a year two
thousand people packed the auditorium in
Washington Heights the Yu Auditorium
lampertory touring two thousand people
what the rough the rav of the show that
Robert Molina was
the new rogue what's his name Robin
David
yeah he he told me he was there many
times and he brought others so you can
talk to him about it it was incredible
and what was the same there the first
two hours of his salvation gave people
and the next two hours he gave a god
four hours
no one left
four hours no one left and were there
ever four hours of operating no one left
you know so anyway but so everybody
salvation who was a leaked he was a
brisker so he definitely showed his
kayaking in Toyota in rambam but then
he gave two hours of Agoda and was it
was because it was beautiful
but the rapper the rapper always
emphasized you know halacha and Maison
always you know you gotta bring it down
so what should we do you know the bottom
line light a candle if you're following
this minute this Shabbos you know
I remember uh I told you about that two
in the year 2000 with that uh
Gathering the Crown Heights against the
Colorado shofar Cox you know that uh
Warner Esther dressed up uh
um you know therapy for for guys that
had issues with their father you know in
the front community and uh it was
getting all all over including Chabad so
they called a special meeting December
24th at night little nightly now that I
learned there were 2 000 people in the
room and their Abuelo and Rabbi from Los
Angeles and Rabbi Heller from Crown
Heights I love uh or Andreas spoke so
after he spoke rabbi shakhat speaks and
I'm Ashoka is a great guy but he can go
on he can go on like for an hour and
after he sat down after speaking for an
hour about the oil can't went to the mic
um it was you know he wasn't supposed to
do that no one asked him to do that and
he said
for the purpose of not forgetting the
bottom line let me repeat the bottom
line
he meant to say you know after a show
got spoke for an hour and he spoke
nicely and well and important but the
the lengthiness you forget the bottom
line so let me repeat what the bottom
the rabbit did that if you all did that
because the rabbit did that
okay however listen I want to um uh I
want to talk about circus Monday so
let's then then that's it then till
after until Hashem we won't resume I
mean but if if he can you're up to it
Monday we still can um and hopefully uh
ushers um moisha's son Usher asked me to
fabbrain for his group from the Yeshiva
amygdal Amic Sunday night so
um I told him I can't take too much time
because I gotta teach my students
including your father Monday morning he
says I understand he asked me what
should we get you white Scotch
wine I said whatever you get I'm not
drinking much because we gotta I gotta
be fresh for the Monday morning
have a great Shabbos a great job is true
with everybody bye-bye
