R Bentche Shemtov's saying, Chasidic Warmth, Share yr memories of the Rebbe

as we continue preparing ourselves for giml tamos I remind myself of a a saying that was named the fathers of men he would say one a has to make a vle vinkle is yish word for Corner a has to create a a place a corner where it's saturated with with cidic warmth with what we callus moisture what kind of moisture hidic moisture many times we do great things we do wonderful things but it's missing theic moisture the or what we also call the ble aidic bone do you have aidic bone do you want to be aidic bone what's a bone a bone is covered by flesh you don't see it but it's it's who you are it's your bones you can have great flesh but if you have a problem with the bone if the bone breaks you have a fra you have a break you have a problem even though maybe the skin is intact as we come to the holy day of giml tama's 30 years since the ascended to heaven and helping us daily from Heaven that EB is not the type to sit back on his loins and enjoy meeting mhu and everyone else and learning anding Believe Me In addition to all that his first priority is thinking about us on Earth and especially his his M his students his people who go to his OES his resting place people who wrote to him and write to him him everyone there isn't a Jew who doesn't know about as long as their Jewish Consciousness is conscious the Jewish soul is awake if the Jewish soul is sleeping we need to wake it up what I see to my travels and I'm meeting all kinds of what we need more of today is varm kite warmth you can have a Riva a Masia a RV a rabbi they're lacking sometimes the V kite the warmth the hug the embrace the kiss how you doing what's going on your life you know I had a great uncle of ARL Sarah bransky and he would come to New York once a year for the Kim and I recall one of the last times he came he stayed with the Rasin family on President Street I went in to say sh to him the first thing that he said to me is are you making a livelihood before asking me if I'm before asking me if I'm and before asking me about all theic and the issues which she was of course Very Much part of and embodied and live with the first thing was how you making a living I heard the same thing for and fori and for my father's zun the first thing that we should worry about is do you have a livelihood are you healthy are you well because if you don't have your health if you don't have parosa many other things don't fit into the puzzle and the puzzle is not put together andite is we call it or for women I guess we would call it brotherliness sister together but what does that practically mean for me to tell you how to be a for you to tell me how to be a no no for the and the from the AL through their teachings in their in their holy books letters they tell us how to be a how to live like a and if we don't have clarity as the AL says in the introduction to Tanya go to the elders and your community the Elder the Elder ask them and if they don't want to give you the answer says I warn you guys you Elders don't be don't practice false humility rather take from your time and guide the younger the younger petitioner the Jew and theid who doesn't know because maybe he never saw maybe never had a chance to learn properly theim and teachings all of us have a responsibility it's gimal tamos in a few days we have a responsibility to inspire others to share with others just share what you saw if people ask you why and how of course try to explain as best as you can but the first thing is just communicate what you saw don't add don't detract don't subtract just add just say it the way it is the memories from the faans the memories of the Reb's face during daving I would D in M whenever I can when I was in CR Heights with the and just telling you what I saw for example when the coach sacks the one who would go like this by the faans you know AB Sachs I remember standing next to him and he was saying kades and he broke his teeth because he wasn't raised with in AER and he said kades half the words incorrectly and I the Reb turned him by Theon before the Reb went before that Dominion is over and the went back to his office he was steering at him and I stood right under sacks cuz I didn't want the debba to see me but I was able to see him and it was such a piercing look that the debba was looking at the Sachs he saw his soul he saw his n the fact that he didn't pronounce the words correctly that's not his fault reliving this and sharing this to those that didn't have that opportunity is real and there's so many wherever you live who saw different things who were around is the Jewish people were not widowed we have people even if they're not rashash and Mason rabbis Mas Torah Scholars regular Jews regular them in your community who saw the who communicated with him ask them share something with me tell me surely those people that know the ti of the rebba the Reb's teachings they were by faans they did hear him teach us for 42 years and they share those thoughts that's galic but all of that is not an excuse or a substitute forite for for warmth for we need to be warmer passionate outwardly yeah you could be like what you like a burning bush inside you touch it it's like a coal it you could see the Sparks of fire in it that's that's true but you got to touch it what if you don't touch the coal it looks like a dark coal it looks cold it looks gloomy we need eat today in particular we need to show the warmth to talk the warmth at your shabas table what do you talk about it's coming G thas one or two shabas is left what are you going to talk about this coming shabas and next shabas share living memories share cidic ideas break it down sing AIC song from the song from and yes it could be even a doesn't have to be just la la la la la you can go into a meditative thought you can go into a state of ecstasy on some level it's all right your kids can see it I saw that growing up with my father who worked so hard during the week and it came shabas and he sang that he learned in yes by in the 19 1950s and he wouldn't let us leave the table for half an hour to an hour to sing with him did I like it at the time no but I listened years later I appreciated so do that at your shabas table you're raising a family you have guests it's not just about eating and eating and eating CH and kishka and fish and salads come on let's not lose focus let's stay focused what is shabas about shabas shabas pleasure what shabas pleasure is just more and more food more and more sleep or shabas pleasure the real pleasure the pleasure of being close to Hashem being able to DAV more kavana being more with family and and sharing meaningful spiritual hidic ideas and lifestyle so with this I hope that we will all collectively Implement some of this as we get closer to giml and we will let go let go of what of the ego of the has to be like this and we will bring more warmth and and varite and we will create as benj says the vle theic spot theic Corner that you you come to this corner and as soon as you come to this corner you feelz why CU this spot this corner is full of the walls are saturated with and guess what 770 is such a wonderful place you go in there regardless of your your beliefs and philosophies take in the energy take in the walls take in the shitz take in the years that the and the were there and are there now take it in don't allow things that you disagree with to get in the way so we have opportunities we have great opportunities just a matter it's a matter of following it's a matter of listening and a matter of Letting Go letting go and saying okay until now I didn't have so much and Vite and warmth and enthusiasm and now for gim I'm going to incorporate that in my life and share with my family and friends should help will be the resurrection of the Dead with will stand up we March together to the G to the true Redemption KES in Jerusalem with the rebuilding of the Holy Temple the the thir bdes
