R' Meilech Zwiebel Yahrtzeit 19 Cheshvan - Chasid, Baal Midos, Inspired generations - RC Dalfin

good morg today is the 19th of kesin 2024 it's the yite of our Mas who was known as was an extraordinary Jew he was born in Ed is in Tel Aviv in 1941 at some point in his childhood he was A A Gifted A Gifted Prodigy and his father was a and after the arrived to aiv and he parked himself on 61 I think a street the Rough Child over there where they have all the excitement in Tel Aviv at one point his father said to his gab there's a little boy who he wants to see and um it was he probably his father had been there before and uh he wished him strong bras strong blessings this when he was a very little boy my father remembers my father was already in the L from 1950 on and he remembers when the M came his father brought him I believe to the Yeshiva he remembers when he came and he remembers how kind of Genius he was that he was sitting already as the years went on the 50s with PE Bim students were much older than him but I really want to talk about and then he came to America he came with u with his friends of no Stan and zusa Feldman and a group of them he listened to to of course the and he was just a a funnel he took it all in he absorbed everything and then as the years went on he gave it out to his students the the story that is told is that didn't know who he is and he and asked him you know does he know where the gaval is that wrote say for my the discourses of the Year 1901 and in the I think the second M the rash speaks about the Angels the Mal and he says that they they they they praise hem and they're they're Ed by God's awesomeness and they say gal whoo whoo this is awesome awesome and they're totally depleted from whatever they are um to Hashem because of that all inspired realization that they they recognized and they expressed themselves in G G and was so impressed now you have to understand if sh heard that mind from the rashab came to laich in 1899 so he heard that from the rashab I believe and he asked him about it and it became popular in the Yesa CU that language is very unique and very different than than uh than what's normally uh written and said and discussed inas anyway um he went into the Reb of and and he told theb met this Israeli B who just came from Mar is the asked like who it is and he he didn't know his name he said he has the thick black glasses that he's wearing and um the re you know smiled and enjoyed what he had to say and later it was known that theba realize that this he's talking about this anyway he the in a letter to his wife to encourage her to meet and marry the writes that is a balid someone who his character is is's very refined in his character and he's sensitive and refined after their marriage he was hired by Redman fedman told me this who was the rashash at the time in New York New Jersey which today is Mars toown he hired him as the mashia and ever since then 19 1965 or so 66 he became the mashpia in new york/ marown for close to 50 years I believe knowing him firsthand spending a lot of time I was there maristan from 1979 through 1981 and I could tell you that the person was what it says in the gor like and he didn't his lips didn't see to utter the words of the fulfilled this literally not figuratively literally the man was always sitting with a safer and always learning whenever I saw him he was either talking to a b to answering the B's questions the students questions or to improve himself or he was learning himself I remember one put him put him night put him in the Yesa we would bring our balaba that we visited on Fridays we would encourage them to come to the Yesa and we had a hanuka party I'm sorry aurum party so so um everyone's downstairs and dancing and singing and say and eating it was very very festive and we see our Mas is not there so my friend RAB Yan and myself we go upstairs to the out to zal B medes it's entire the lights are on the entire place is empty there's one person sitting at his usual place his desk we go over to him and I say to him have to so he say what's that you should come to a state of spiritual intoxication that you don't know the difference between Blessed Be and cursed be H and that comes through learning and he was learning about por I I remember that it was a scene to be seen as they say I want to now jump and really get to the heart of this uh clip I'm sitting here in a Bas in par called shabas it's in the basement of the it's quiet it's very early 5: in the morning and I reminded myself it's his yard side today the 19th of it's so befitting that I'm saying this in this space Med because this this is the mod it's a modest place people come and go there's no Fanfare there's no you know presidents I mean the schul probably has a a board and all that but I'm saying it's it kind of runs on its own and um it's very comfortable here and and in a sense was that type of a ye you know he he he live and let you live he really did naturally as a Mas you know they have certain things that they want of the students to improve themselves but overall because of his immersion in T and I emphasize not just used to give he would learn I discussed with him things that I was learning in in tal as well with him and he knew it all he knew it he was he knew it like off by heart he he knew it he was such a genius mind but that's not what made him special what made him special is two things I think one is he communicated to us the breath ofis there's the depth ofis is the breath ofus and had tremendous amount of depth I remember one one time Khan came over to me and asked me what did you learn in Yesa this week this is while I was a maristan and I told that mil taught us about this idea that the the 10 spos are divided 333 and then malus and three the the three is within yourself the three last one yourself is ready to the outside and the the middle three is kind of the combin is in between It's a combination whatever and said to me I also thought that way and in fact I saw it later written in in a in a pple under someone's name but they took it from so his knowledge of in general his knowledge of particularly was immense was tremendous but it's the breath the every new safer that came out from Kos he had it the first week and he he went through it he learned it cover to cover we saw this on his table when a new saer came out from the Reb marash or the MB or the rash or the Reb it was on his table and he would shake back and forth quietly and he would just re learn it and go through it when he gave sh and which he gave us several times a week you saw the har the the great breath not just the depth but more the breath in other words he his style in teaching of mimer was he let's say is the beginning of so what's the you know it's it's it's it's it's a right you don't blow it because say the maybe people carry theer to us to a scholar to to teach them how to blow pretty straightforward me would read that line and he spent the next few shim explaining from from from sh and theim and then what the of the is in other words let's say who taught the same things he wouldn't do that he would in fact read it very quickly and just keep on reading and then and then get into the meat and potatoes of the MIM of the rash Theus Theus part this wasn't a this wasn't a Shear in in in in in tal but with it wasn't that way with every line there was some there some novelty be it in nigla in talud or in or in any other part of now on one hand this takes a lot more time and it's it's a very different style but at the same time it shows you the breath the breath of to that's one thing the next thing is his faans his faans were very unique because he didn't speak long Dres like unfortunately is the style today he would speak for 10 5 10 minutes stop say we sang A N another 5 10 minutes stop say and a n and he took and what was the content mostly was stories with this and that and he he remembered everything abovich and this and and would always say talk about the and he was such a BT forget his first name now and and he he would know the names and he would remember who told him and he would share that with us and this we never had before cuz that's not a style and our before in Ocean Park a better lip that wasn't his style either in his and we were younger as well so it was a different period in our lives that M these two years and marown just opened up the floodgates ofus where you saw such wow now understandably we were by the I grew up with the and but nevertheless this elaboration this wealth of stories and and as he's saying the stories and as he as we singing the good name and he's saying is getting more excited in general he was what people would call a cult men you know more on the cold side you know I don't I say he was more not chilled he was more intellectual he he was thinking you know he and he was in control of hisid mind over matter but be there as May when he said he started to get excited the ultimate was at when he got up at the end all of a sudden after 2 three hours sitting withing with us and he would start dancing and we all started to dance with him and then he made a somersault it's called a Kola and you know when he does and and then he asked us to make to imitate him and to make Kus as well and we knew that was the end of and he would sing he would lead us in song with this song I remember it like yesterday [Music] [Applause] and the song lent itself very well to the moment you know dancing in circles having said being inspired and making the COA making the somersault and then you saw his his passion lucky are we who saw this and my message today is also to the Mas the young Mas the who I see frequently here in our basement learn you'll be you'll be all right he created for 50 years help his I think his father's name was and should to see with him and everyone else cut of mish very speedily in a way that we will dance in
