Rabbi Elimelech (Meilach) Zwiebel - Yahrtzeit 19 Cheshvan

Sholem Aleichem I want to talk about a very special ye'd it was yard site is the 19th of kazran this coming Sunday his name was heard of revelry mela Sybil or as we knew him from yeshiva Morristown he was the must be there for 50 years that Mela Siebel and his honor and memory I share some thoughts recollections about this very great yeet it is very great closet Mela was born in 1941 and that if you some hope I believe in Tel Aviv and his father was a colored see honored I believe a above accosted in that if you stroll in Tel Aviv at a time several years later the holy tsadik about it aquella the bells that ever lived there and one Shabbos at the Tisch the bells that ever told his gob I he wants to see a little a little boy a certain boy that had that was there in the shoe that Shabbos no one noticed this boy but this is what that Sadiq said and they brought him one boy they brought him another boy he said no not this boy not this boy and when they brought him that mailer Tebow who was then I think six seven years old young boy or so he said yes him and the holy bells that ever gave him a broker so that's that's a story from the beginning of his life that he was benched by the hey Leggett Sadiq Mubarak at the dulcet ever who sensed there was a special child in the shul wants to see him and give him a brother later on his father enrolled them in the lab averaging even would under the auspices of reps laymen I am Castleman the Mafia and Behrami yard who was a time also a teacher spea of sorts in the yeshiva the mela as we knew him in Morristown would always share stories insights and feelings that he he got from his must be Arabs lemma Khayyam when he came to America in 1962 he was sitting in 770 Friday night and either it was that I shagged that of his brother on the work that I'm sure my yoga rowdy or Shmuel have written the note of Habad Hassidim must be in the yeshiva turn to this bucker who had these you know thick glasses and they've never they never saw him before he was among a group of energy thrilled that bucket under came to 770 to learn in the deposition she went to be with the rabbit and he asked them who is that give out from samehada where is the word give out without means whoa the gevalt in the safer how my modem in the book of discourses of the repair shop known as Tov Lisa McAuliffe or sama house and without the blink of Allah I in a moment the bailiff pointed exactly to where it says give out give out that my shop talks about how the maloca when they realize the angels when they realize who their Creator is our colors but who they they're in code of law and they say if I'll give out Wow Wow awesome Wow and it's a very unusual expression in kebab casitas and and particularly in the Yiddish language because the my bottom are generally in loss and croatian hebrew and who pays attention to that see them of all that have small who was present in the Babich when the deborah sharp said that moment so it seems to me that to him and to his fellow students this was not just something they read in a book they heard it from their ever and the buckram were talking about it and were enthusiastic and it was very special so he asks this new student who he sees as being diligent and learning to see this and discussing pursue this with other book number 7070 and he never met him before us he's like trying to see if this is the real McCoy so he's asks and where is that where is the gaveled of sama Hollow and he knew right away that sportin of Shmuel was so miss spoil he was so impact that he was so impressed that he immediately went into the river towered ever and he said Siddhartha it faces where it is I don't know who he is he didn't even know his name and hooked up is blessed good girl back lesson thick glasses as educate cometh emeritus at all he just came from attitudes to know from Israel and when I asked him who was the gevalt of sy McAuliffe who was the gabbatha said McAuliffe what the glass give would he know right away on the spot and there ever was very very happy that he has such a buffer here later in 1965 or so when that mail of married that ever expressed himself in a settle in in in the letter to to his future caller that Mela that Mela is a buffer that is exemplary in niggler and casitas and in media Stivers in the study in the revealed part of Toyota ie the Talmud in the esoteric part of Toyota casitas and in good character and behavior in MIDI Stivers he becomes the Mafia of the yeshiva in Morristown and he was brought into the Achieva by to be slow Friedman and revelation hjerson and from that day he stayed until his last day when he passed away almost three years ago some special qualities about him that I saw studying by him for two years his diligence his effort his house mother aunt Ida was was I don't think anyone that I knew be him in that he was always with a safer learning and not just Sidis niggler sidess his knowledge of niggler was tremendous I believe he was a puppy in shots and sure enough shots I would come into him sometimes after devoting 11:00 11:30 and he would have a good murder opened and sometimes here so sufficient open and Anna severs these are you know deeps forum that tell me there you shiva in the world when they learn your mother and want to go deeper they study these forum he knew these things backwards and forwards he had a genius mind his memory was phenomenal so he was gifted with a tremendous memory tremendous knowledge great understanding of his knowledge and most importantly diligence and effort which is highly unusual for other tobita come him who are great in their knowledge but did not such a great must Medan I'm not saying there aren't any others but for us in Kabaddi in the Babbage at the time what we know this was a novelty he had an interesting sense of humor for example I was involved as a editor for a publication called her utter sat minion this was remarks and notes under ever seekers that was produced by the achiever under his auspices each week and he told us that once in you he does that ever said to him says that I am coming Samira drove a rabbi came to me on the visa shyly a certain question Papa - oh man - how other side to me ma'am I took out your how does that mean and they never said from Morristown or vision does the Shilin does the truth oh here's the question here's the answer they never told this to mailer to the bailiff in Yezidis lording and praising that other such meaning that he was in charge of and worked so hard to produce every single week with the staff of both of them will help them produce it but regarding a sense of humor our dr. Shiva at the time was Rabbi Meir greenberg it was a big time of Karim he was a Talmud Eric slay my hymen afraid of a das and it may it was a was was a very big time Elohim and I remember that a certain subjects of shafts like touch bezel and saw him and in your name and condition with King Ewan acquisition I remember that the Rebbe Mela that that the Greenberg had written a large you know a long piece of theater on that and that issue and the Mela disagreed with certain ways the way he the way other Greenberg understood it and wrote it but he didn't want to show that he that cuz he was much younger that he's arguing with him so you used a pen name and I was in between rabbi Greenberg had many mother so it was very funny like you know here they're sitting in the same base madness they talk to each other but yet they have this strong disagreement and understanding the president the shot the meaning of the so gear of the section that's being discussed and being learned and there are other examples of this but that's for another time he gave us all so he opened up the door to students to see the Harkavy of Hasidic the broad knowledge of Hasidic literature he he learned every single safer that came out a new safer from Cohoes he learnt it and within a few weeks he finished it it was all such a thing as learning it putting away come back to in three months no and we would see that whereas for him came out he had it next in learning those new swaram when we would go to asks we were learning certain by modern professional test stuffily Sam above and he gave you were to me and we saw his breadth of knowledge his broadness his her cover but it wasn't just our hover without understanding it was good deep understanding with our hover so he introduced us to that his far brain goons were very special because he he didn't speak you know long luscious it was short inspirational a story with a little message a verdict with a message and he would say Lahiya and as the night went on he said more like hi you and as the lehayim took effect on him he became more atom animated and he would smile more and he would laughs more because without him you could people said he was a cold person he wasn't a coat he was not a cold person he was an intellectual person he was busy with one thing learning tighter and teaching the bottom and that's it so yes sometimes it felt like it's cold but he was if you knew it and I know him well very well from the inside not from the outside he was a very me eat a warm eat a warm closet and when he cooks a masker and as the night went on it was tremendous but during the fabric yet he opened up for us the panoramic view of Reps lane the Higham who heard stories from Grennan and also what may that may have heard from that fool written any stories from sedum of its m acidic and then he was also close with Rabbi Brahma your and he share stories with from him so he brought to us the Labov achieve old to the hallways and base mesh and building of meristem and I recall this was something new because in the Babaji sheer Ocean Parkway our old my spear was a better lip scared and he gave us a tremendous varam kite but was a different style the girl con our next verse pier was a different style in this area the bailiff excelled with cederstrom isis and an invert wa and this was very very appealing to us buckling so at the end of the fiber engine when we knew kind of the vibranium is gonna be over he would get up and we all got up and we started to dance and usually he would sing the following Nigam they did that a long taters that a long taper that I love my yard they did it ain't long painted a long day didn't he love my ya ya I love ya I let I Hyland did I yeah I let I Tyler that I yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah hey yeah we did a lot you know like I didn't know like yo yeah I didn't know like I didn't know like yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah oh yeah y'all didn't hola dahveed a no lo Yolo Yolo Yolo uh yeah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah and while I was singing this he would make a somersault oh cool it's called and we also made somersaults and then as we finish the in he would exit to his house finally talking about his mid estoy voice I heard from a relative of his who wasn't that Hasidic that out of all the relatives of theirs that mail it was the biggest mensch she told me this on a plane I met her on a plane to Florida and she told me this another relative told me once his wife went away for for for for a weekend she went to wait so he called his nephew battle a battle people and he said that he wants to have the the driveway repaved so that and this is like a present for her and when she came back she was so happy unexpected and I when I heard the story I said to myself that may lifts people who was totally cut great moved from Kashmir's was thinking about repaving the driveway for his wife so she should be happy happier you know I'm saying the nice present the surprise er yes this was it may looks people able should help that this hood of the Mafia however much fearful who was in Morristown for close to 50 years barely melon three ball that may look feeble and his thousands of talmidim worldwide should remember what he taught us live with what he taught us share with what he taught us with our children and grandchildren our friends and ultimately be reunited with him with the coming of Messiah the made of the amino mama SHhhh
