Ramat Beit Shemesh #10 Farbrengen- Reb Mendel's love for Aron Yosef, Chasidus study- RC Dalfin

So everyone big and Marlo for open their home for everyone everyone everyone have and brought this in a revealed way. So you know it's it's uh this time of year before Pes people are cleaning as we can see obviously and um we get together not just because they was able to come to as um just said it's a big to be able to come to even if it's temporarily you know just a visit but it's a in itself every time you come to this role but uh more so that I've said this in the shear many times it's worth repeating again that it is hard to find today you know solid groups of of what they call used to be you know the days of the 70s the conservative movement and then even the Orthodox but the the in in in inadab not just labavich but actually used to use that word from time to time and he picked it up you know definitely amongst theic world it's not just word but they use and um the kabasha concept is is I don't say rare but it's it You know, there's not there's not a lot of it. You know, for example, Friday nights, the Gidim, they have something called B. Are are you familiar with that? Mhm. What? And and what is B? It's the same idea where the the get together, they learn some and they sing some and then they eat some nuts and this and that. And it's an important avoida by them called butter. Okay, that's what they call it. And we we find that in certain groups these things are stronger and other in other ones it's it's it's weaker. They're different different kinds. the the the both would talk a lot about this because in their days in Kabad in the 1940s in those days there's a lot more of this because there still was from Russia from the Rashab older and they came from Russia and Ukraine and you know what did they have they had gashmies they didn't have they didn't have material matter I mean they had barely what to eat you So they had each other each other. I told you this once and it's worth repeating. Um Rao Futafas who you know was my wife's great uncle. My great uncle. He he um he uh by the way his granddaughter is at my house. What do you mean? She's she stays by me for pass over the last two years. Oh she's with us. Yeah. She's in for She's from New York. Yeah. She lives with her mother. Wow. Yeah. She's a fabulous girl. Okay, great. Anyway, sir Mendle um had a very good friend and his name was Rab Abba Rabba was Russian in the Kabad yeshivas I don't know if it was in Labavich but then in the underground you know these were all buddies buddies to keep the flame of Yiddishkai alive in Russia Okay. Mamish word. This was like you're on the line, you know. Like October 7, the soldiers, our boys are mammish. It's it's no joke. It's you're on the, you know, anyway. So, so he was very close with him. They were two different personalities. Aba was a more reserved person and a quiet person. Menu was a talker, a bomb sapper, you know, he he enjoyed a drink and he enjoyed a joke and he enjoyed, you know, he was and that's why he's pro he's the most probably famous in the last 100 years because of his, you know, his character, his color, you know, the hat, the hat, the hats al the hat adds to it. It's true. Yo, it's true. But it was much more a hat. He wore like um a sa with like a sailor's hat. I don't know what it's got. You have one? Oh, he has a beret. It's like a beret. No, no, no, no, no. Not like a picture of it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I have one. Yeah, I have that book. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Different. It's different. Yeah. I have that book, too. It's cute. It's a good little book. I just bought it today. It was stories of his life like little stories. Unbelievable time saved, you know. So, so, so, so this other this other gentleman, you know, he wasn't colorful. Quiet, but he was big shamayan really. I heard about him, too, you know, but you wouldn't know. You wouldn't know, you know, that he was so meticulous in his what he ate and how he ate. Anyway, they were very good friends and and probably Hill you could say that, you know, using psychological terms, you know, Ramen knew about his character. Raba knew about his and each one played off the other. You, you know, they were great friends because they complimented each other. you know, someone who's loud and active, you know, understands that there's a virtue to being quiet as well. And the one who's quiet understands. So they they they they were very very good friends. Anyway, um actually that the when he would come to New York men, right, Rab Ab already was ill and he was at a at a nursing home in Williamsburg called at that time was called I forget now. Asel. Asel. Thank you. How do you know about Asel? My grandmother was there. Okay. Asel. Exact. By the way, it's not called Asel anymore. My daughter Baylor worked in that uh facility for 3 years. I forget the name. It was bought by, you know, a whole corporation. But anyway, um Ael, it wasn't called AEL. It's called a different name. So, Bitser Bitser Hill, how are you? Hilkenfeld. Isn't that Hill? Who is that? Hill. Yeah. Yeah. Hilam. How are you? Perfect shot. Come over here. Hello corner. It's okay. That's what Abrauda made. It'll be a hello sandwich. So he said we made that joke this week. So, so he was at um at a show Fendo would come to New York and he came to be with with the Reb and the he he he had to go I don't know if he went every day but he went very often to see Aba in the nursing home because this was like this like his brother that's what happened another story is he went over once to he was the mashia in Kabad a menas after passed away in 1971, 1973. The Reb told him should become the Mashia. So he said to the Reb, listenb I'm working, you know, for my son. I did, you know, the business in the black market in Russia like you know by these people when they said a mashia was a mash. say even though he was such aid but he he looked almost a businessman and the Reb tells him that I think it would be a good thing 1973 that he should be the Mashia of so he says to so what what should I say to them in other words I'm not the real Mashpia like you know the past previous mashia compared that wasn't his thing that wasn't his cal he had another cal and yet tells him tells him it should be mashia tells him he said what should I do say he says tell them stories are learning you know imagine they're learning the deep that we've been learning and it's not a story time it's not bedtime stories this is deep stuff and a and he knew he knew it's not you know but the rebb said you want to start off tell them aidic story tell them a m you know so anyway when he was a mashia He one day went over to one of the Baharim and he said here I have money take this money buy a ticket and fly to France to Bruno the in the suburb called Bruna of Paris of Bruna he says like what he says listen I have a best friend called Rabarin ylenitzki another and I haven't seen him in and and he and I like soulmates and I am I don't have the k to fly so I'm giving you money get on a plane he says okay to mendle I'll do that what should I do when I see him just give him the hug say regards from your friend Mendle and come back and come back and that's what he did wow he went there he saw him show him gives him a hug says I have regards from your good friend of mandal futifas he says send it back regards and he goes back to the airport and he comes back to that's brother shaft wow that's brotherly love it's in your bones you know it's you know I can't I came now for v various reason you know pes of shabish Right. Yeah. So I left uh Tuesday came Wednesday. Why did I come so early? So I came for several reasons. One is to be with all you including actually is the bony. The bony the bony of the other. Sit. Bring bring another chair. [Music] Christmas. Which one? Well, come sit. Think of it. So I was saying that [Music] Jacob Wood. So I came early because my my good good friend from Yeshiva made a of his I think 11 10th or 11th child in Quarabat last night. So I was coming for Pesa. I said let me let me go this hospital especially because became came down with ALS was very sick and I see him deteriorating it's very hard but that's what brut is brut is you know you go out of your way for your brother you go out of your way for your brother without strings attached there's no uh you know there's no mendle didn't send this buffer to France for him to say, "Oh, he's a big shot." No, no, he's a brothers. He's a brothers. You know, it says in the in the it says that um the the of is so powerful. It's like in a way more powerful than the aba between a husband and a wife. Wow. Now that's that's a that's a pretty heavy statement, right? Yeah. Yeah. You have to understand that statement. You have to there's some things that a husband's a husband's a wife a wife. I always repeat. told you the guy Rabi Salvich he says clearly there are certain things my my family will never understand and it's not it's not their domain might tell me them will that's okay yeah but the concept is truism and the same in the same is this there's certain things that have when they're in the in the mode of brutes not when they're just you know hi they put up a sad, you know, it's baloney. But when they're really brothers, when they're really brothers, it's it's it's most powerful. It's most powerful. It goes way beyond anything else, you know. Um, just another example. So, Shabas, I was in Katamo because I have a niece, you know, so I'm staying over there for the So, on Thursday was Yeah. On Thursday, I went out, you know, to to to see the town. town to see what I could find ofidic history and someone told me that the old Beler who passed away in 1957 he came to the country in 1944 he saved miraculously the used to call him the malik raarades they called him soar every till after tish he would leave Tel Aviv which was his home base and the reason Hawaii. There's several reasons, but one of the things he said about Tel Aviv is that there were at the time there were no churches. There were no mosques. Mhm. They were in Yao, but not in Tel Aviv. So he settled. There's another reason with our story with Ashkanazi, but not now. Anyway, so so so but he would leave. He would leave. For the record, he had a Gab Fogle. That was the name of his Gabby. And Fogle wrote down a lot of things that Abaran said to him. And Fogle writes that one of the things that Abaran said was that when he leaves for for Tel Aviv for he's not he should not leave the house. No, he can leave the house but he has to be like every day in the house if not as dangerous for the world. I I I I ain't going that way. I I don't know what that means. But you're talking about you know so he would go from Arab. Yeah. So so where did he stay? So I found out where he stayed this Thursday. He stayed on a building on me and is a corner building. He stayed there from I don't know if 1944 and that's when he came but all those years till 55. I don't know if it stayed there all the entire four or five months but a large part of the time and that house now it's a building right but it used to be and guess who lives there today the rebi oh wow rabbi sofur right the by the way it's the only that they yeah yeah because he's a great a great grandam cipher Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they still It's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Eastern Europe. Yeah. Only one. No. Sorry. No. Eloy is I thought in the section of Masdorf Undf Masdorf. Those were Ashkanaz. They were Ashkanaz. Wow. Anyway, so the Reb, this Reba bought the apartment in which the Belzar Rebba stayed in and it wasn't so fixed up of course and it wasn't that large. It was I knocked on the door first of all. I went into the garden door. Who am I greeted by? I'm greeted by two um gardeners that are coming along. One of them had in his eyes, in my opinion, blood. And I I couldn't believe it. Here's Arba. They have to see them. They have the funds. Why are you hiring him to do the lawn? Wow. And I'm walking around it. So I go to the door. I knock on the door. And he says, "Mia, Mia, I said, I'm a guest anyway." And I'm telling you, and I went, so the door was open by the Rebbitson. I said, "You better close your door." And the door was locked is just make sure because I'm telling this guy out there seems to me just smells dangerous. Nothing happened. Anyway, so the rabbit welded she's from from England. She's an Ashkanazi from England, not Kabad. She's a Belzer a Belzer Belzer and she was very friendly and she says come with me. She took me into the room in which the bel slept with his wife those those months and where he had the the private discussions with people and then she said to me it is here where she had the discussion where my with the bells are bad discussion with the sat title bound and they with the big disagreement about going to vote to the pus it was in this room wow she says and I can't say more cuz my father-in-law told me I shouldn't say anymore so I'm not telling you more but you should know that this room had meas because they all came to see the bells of so go you walk down it's you know who knows and it's in in one room and she said that her husband greets people hey what we call he sees people privately come home with with and all that in this room because he hopes that this sitting in the bell's room will will uh will help will be answer the people's tis.
