Rabbi Soloveitchik & Rebbe met 45 yrs ago in 770: Awesome, Special & Holy - I was there...RC Dalfin

I wanted to share a memory of 45 years ago this m of shabas be 45 years since I saw Rabbi salvic RAB yoseph bear salvic aka the RV come to 770 I think it was a Monday night it might have been January 12th 1980 it was January 1980 and it was the ofat moat the night after yat going into the 11th ofat and the r came it was an awesome SI situation it was really awesome the r came in and everyone you know stood up to not just honor him and be respectful of who he is but to to to show him that we cherish who he is and who what he represents going back to his grandfather abim brisker Ander and in a sense even the V and we'll talk about that in a moment and a few minutes later the rebi came in and they shook hands I have this on the cover of my new book called kabad in Yesa University every time I think about it especially this year because it's 45 years from that historic day historic night I'm overwhelmed with emotions I really am because this to us was the culmination the end of 200 L years of bickering and fighting between what's called and now you're probably wondering RAB D how can you say that there's still MN them out there first of all the rebba said there no more mnam today so I'm hisid I follow what he says and I can tell you also from meeting people and traveling and lecturing and all kinds of things that the the re is there are no misn today you know there are are there are still people who are don't have the information and because they don't have the right information they're living with past ideas so it's our job to inform them to share the information with them and that's what I do in my books and my lectures and my podcasts is to share the information okay so that night when the rebba and the ru meet and the the ru sat down and his driver asked him several days later rebi I thought you were only going to stay for 15 minutes because he already had Parkinson's at the time and it's very hard to sit still because the body movement and all of that so the r said in yish if I be a I would relate a miracle with the rebba what what would what would it be that he that that he sat there and his legs were not shaking and when he saw his legs are not shaking from the Parkinsons he sat longer and longer and he was there Pro I think like an hour and a half or so an hour and a half to two hours I don't recall the exact time but he was there for quite a long time and when he when he left RAB shakar who was there with him you'll see some of the pictures the same rabash shakar who was the the rabbi who liberated the Holocaust 1945 asked him rebi he says I knew that he was knowledgeable but he's a real manik he's a real leader now I don't say these things to you know to push my father is greater than your father my teacher is better my rep is greater than your G it's foolish and stupid to think that way everyone has their their greatness everyone has their cup of tea Etc right but think about 5,000 people in a room with these two Torah Giants and not just Giants of information Giants who gave an approach to thousands and thousands of Jews and who give an approach to thousands of thousand of Jews this is awesome this is emotional this is unbelievable and in yish this is galic this coming M shabas this shabas ISAT 75 years of our re's leadership from 1950 to 2025 is this coming chabas and much of shabas is that same night except it's much shabas not Monday night that the re for brained and far brains where is the faing right here through our fabrin and that's my message to you and I leave this with you today for the week to please think about it and you don't have to be a do do something for both of these both of these leaders the Reb and the r do something for them I humbly suggest to make another class both in in particular the Reb Torah the Reb's teaching and in the R's Torah that's in Torah and learning in a and prayer was more to pour your heart out to Hashem take a listen on YouTube to have a clip of the r speaking about how he he remembers daving Kipper with listen just listen to that there's there's English subtitles you'll melt okay that's coming from the misnet the brisker and the of course the the the seventh leader of the movement from the how important it is to with intensity Etc and finally acts of benevolence and kindness starting with giving SED to institutions both of leich and for those that are followers of the the university young israels to give Seda both here and because we do need and after all both the Reb and the have their people today on the ground in in various capacities and they need to give and then to give here but sedu isn't just a dollar bill or a check or today Bitcoins and cryptocurreny SAS charity with your soul charity with your body charity with your money one should do all three if they can charity with their soul means take from your time and teach someone else who doesn't know give away from give your soul away charity beof physical someone the tire the tire is is flat needs help bend down fill it up with air and help them go visit someone a nursing home these are just examples and and Char with money is as I said earlier there's a lot to say and there's a lot to think about it's Tuesday before it's zat I believe yeah vat sorry vat we have another four days to prepare ourselves for and on this day the day when the soul returned to hasem the Earth and is the day when our became our leader and continues today we ask Hashem to once again bring back these two great luminaries of of Torah and and MIT and and and guidance and stop with all of these you know I'm this party and this party stop that stop it's foolish silly and it's oldfashioned it's out the window we're all one you want to wear a beard put a beard on you don't want to wear a beard don't wear a beard based on Caba believe the right way is to wear a beard lit fox say you don't have to wear a beard or if you wear a beard it could be this way that way I'm not taking a position you know there's far them written about that I'm just giving examples this is not the time to point fingers you're right I'm right he's right she's right let's stop that let us focus on that Night 1980 utat January 1980 when the RO and the rebba met in 770 that's right in 770 and shook hands and greeted each other and smiled at each other and spoke with each other and I felt it was so palpable it was like they were hugging each other and kissing each other two people who came out of the ashes preh Holocaust Russia communism Zionism humanism intellectualism fighting first world war the r was born in 1903 the Reb 1902 1905 the Russian japanes war 1914 the first world war 1939 the second world war then the Korean War then the Vietnam War then the war The Six Day War then the yipper war they live through all of that wow wow 100 years you know roughly 100 years that's a lot a lot of time so let's let's stop being petty you know this pettiness is stifling it's time to say enough and let's learn Torah let's learn let's give s let's Embrace each other and learn from each other God bless you all a good day and only only good things to life to life to life and M should come now
