Rashag was Rebbe's Greatest Chasid - Yahrtzeit 6 Adar rishon - Rashag left everything to Aguch

this is a uh tribute to arafsh mario garadi darashag derebba's older brother-in-law the frida karebes oldest song it's many years since he passed away he passed away today on other yeshuan tufts in memphis 1989. he was born in 1897. he lived 80 89 years so a few things was for the merit of his soul that come to mind and you'll be able to read much more about him and his life and his interaction with the rebbe and most importantly his subservience is bitter completely and totally to the rebel he was a gorari first and foremost he came from the illustrious family the gharari family which goes back to the morale of prague and his father ebenha mendel was a brother to rip shmuel schmulger the famous host of the rebel mirage a a supporter or they may be the greatest supporter surely as the fiduciary rights and the serious someone who was completely completely dedicated to the to the the marash and the rashad and we see this in the garage family that their wealth that hashem blessed them with was used to enhance and support the activities of the rabbayim at that particular time whether it be in russia or in poland or in america and then we could talk a lot more about that but here is not the place in the book uh in the footnotes i've written a little bit about that was appointed the maniac of three min what you would call the chairman of time of the yeshiva because he was appointed during the lifetime of the rabbi rashad as the menial poll passed away in 1919 he took over and he transferred the running of the yeshiva and the chairmanship of the yeshiva to rashma yogarati during the time in russia the gerard was very well connected with raphael and many other people in conjunction with the frida karepa's to strengthen giderski overall generally speaking but also to develop the yeshivas and they made many many yeshivas underground yeshiva throughout russia and ukraine as we know then when they got to poland the yeshiva their first and uh well the hari shivan poland from 1921 until 1933 but yeshiva until 35 when they moved to atwatsk so vegarari was uh involved there and then we could say that when they came to america in 1940 of course it came together with afridi canada but then i became a year later in 1949 he was appointed first of all he was appointed in 1939 yet while they were still in atwatsk in poland he was appointed as the the chairman of a good in 1939 until then rabbi jacobson robbie saw jacob was the menahil in 1939 if kevin wrote him that he's transferring the the chairmanship to the rashad and we have actually stationary of the rashad when it came to america then they had members of the vitamin they have mental and laughter and many other um objectives but his primary work was the shiva the yeshiva the babaji yeshivas i have an article i found in a local jewish newspaper in the 1940s i think it was 1948 it was called the americana and it says that there's a whole write-up about the yeshiva that had under him 14 yeshivas you know in rochester in boston in buffalo and new haven in pittsburgh in chicago et et cetera et cetera so he was um [Music] very well connected you know probably would call him to the politician he was you know he was very politically connected you know he was savvy he dressed sharp he looked very put together he had what we call a hadith punem he was the right person for the right job he was alaskan a real communal activist and the frieda crabber saw this in him you know saw now and ever that he's he's meant for god was for greatness as far as that ever rashad wasn't a rabbit but he has he has his place in the annals of chabad history and all the talmudim of all the laboratory yeshivas which includes all the shlokan today come from the babaji yeshivas and he was the chairman director of the yeshivas so in the beginning that meant raising the moneys for the yeshivas and dealing with issues even years later when yeshiva started to pay their own bills and take over and all that they still wanted his jurisdiction and those that were loyal and knew this because the friday but they ever wrote this to them years before in a letter when they would need to do something or check want to do something they would check with the rashad rabbi ultra old time in the 1970s there was a certain issue that he wanted approval for and he went to check with rashad and and he you know he ran as yeshiva he raised his own money he had his own balabaton but if he could ever told him in the 1940s check with my son-in-law anything about the yeshiva so he listened to that and didn't deviate and kept captain so we see clearly that the role of yeshivas was given to and however that ever he too substantiated that once things worked out smoothed out between the rashad and with the yeshiva leadership in the beginning from 1950 to 53 in those years which in the book there's much about that too to understand what was going on in a in a positive way in a healthy way in in a respectful way the the rebel you know that was his department that rashad of course had an in an agreement like unspoken agreement that since he's there and i want to bring my polar bottom to him and they want broca's and he and he realized that there was someone that could go to the oil and and talk to the frida kader to go to the hebrew to go to god and ask for a bracha so it was beneficial for him as well and each year before the annual dinner usually in november december um there would be a like a meeting in the shocks apartment where he lived on the third floor of 770 and he would meet with his beloved then they would go downstairs and then he would bring him to the river and they had yakida to them spoke to them encouraging them to contribute to the yeshiva and help yeshiva more and it was an annual event for many many years in addition of course the letter that they ever sent to the dinosaur was very very supportive and worked really together to enhance his older brother-in-law's role because this was the wish of their father and with the freedom and no one can deny that that's a fact those that want to whitewash history uh you know are simply lying that's it it's a lie it's not true those that have issues you know why in the beginning there were there was disagreements and now you know between the shock and that and things like that those you know first of all it's the past and number two that needs to be understood and in the book um if you care to follow up i suggest reading it and i hope you'll understand more and see that that there was a mistake mistakes do happen and family pressure but most importantly i want to share with you is that in 1985 when this farm case the library case broke out erupted that ashag stayed and sided with that in face of his own wife and his son and family and basically you find me someone who puts his wife and his son secondary to hit to the river and and and i'll find you a husband you talk about a husset and now we understand what that episode is said about that he's my husband's greatest husset you betcha he's the number's greatest horses if he can can go side with that versus his son and his wife to the point where she moved out of 770 for other reasons but the bottom line is they live separately from 1985 on what do you say about that it's sad it's not it's not not nice it's not comfortable but that's the materials that's the facts and there were reasons for it but again you know you could follow up on that too not so much in my book but plenty is written about that but here we're here to talk about the my love that the rashad and his commitment to the river and to labach and to top it all off in his will which i published in this book from 1988 he gives everything over to this the same organization that he headed from 1939 on appointed by the previous rebbe he gives it over everything to them that means the manuscripts that he had from the bay and my mother um and various objects that he had from the rebellion he was after all a son-in-law so he had he had access to things and he had things valuable things holy things and he gives it all a way to go so i think on a day like this this yard site will reflect back what he did and as the rabbit in tough shin noon a year after he passed the the yard side choppers past through 1990 that made a point to to highlight that all the tell me then all the students of all the la babachi yeshivas are to his credit so they should help that we should have me
