Reb Yoel's attitude to Reb Meilech's Health - Iyar reminds us to take care of our health

we're on the threshold of the great yamchav the festival but we have an entire week before us so we're still in the month of year next month begins seven so i want to talk about health before because the acronym for the word er is ani hashem i am god your healer so let's talk a little bit about healing and the historical and hasidic attitude towards healing and raphua it's also apropos that this comes in conjunction with a book that's that i wrote coming out uh in the next few weeks hashem called the rebe and doctors i documented letters and conversations between 50 doctors and the rebbe and his some of his etc but anyway let's get to the point so a story it was purim about eight to ten years ago i forget which exact year and you know purim when the rebel was forbranging the highlight was put in and no one got shikka during the day we wanted to hear the vibranium and the papuno fabric was a long fabregan and it started 9 30 at night and didn't finish till 1 2 3 depending which years and all that and sitting with my mashpeer abhyol khan the years after kimutamus he would always quote and say when when he'd came in and they were a little sheker and they made themselves silly and all that he would say loves the nourish kite fartish above leave the nonsense for tish above something that might be i might not be quoting the exact words but that was the idea you want to be silly do it on tish above when the the holy gho the haley geruchnid with you know the throw the the berries the uh thorns the little things you know and they would like you know and he would say hashem the cow no he he he didn't throw them the people in the shul threw them and he would say to hashem look if the eden aren't uh it was delusional was uh it was uh what's it called the um the dichotom sorry yeah it would say look how the if the jews aren't keeping your festival tissue of crying and mourning but making jokes and throwing berries and fool one on top of the other and onto the other take it away from them that's how he was malabaz he found merit and hoped that hashem would listen and remove tisha bob sarabh would say when when the when the guys you know made light of purim and being silly and then drinking and and and laughing and then commandovin you know and uh-huh you know he would say guys today is a special day in other words what he taught us was that purim is a of course it's a yum tif and of course it's a festive day but it comes from adlayada which means transcending knowledge and and and going deeper within and you know transcending so at this particular purim fabregan that i went to after i had my study here as i walk in my other mashpia the mail feeble was on the steps i couldn't believe it you know bureau's door was always open and it was classic the the the the front door was on the front door but the there was like a screen a plastic the kind of glass of plastic it it wasn't there so that we always know this is abuel's house and uh as i walked in the mail was was on on the uh on the steps and i you know got scared and his son yossi was there with him and he tells me it's all right it's all right i should go up and i went up he then later comes up and he sits next to the oil you know he's and he was a little uh you know he was a little animated with with something deeper and greater and bill got very very scared and he he said to me because he heard already that he wasn't feeling that well so he says call that sola and let the hat solo decide what needs to be done and i was really surprised because knowing their oil from youth and spending lots of time with them intimate time in conversations and in fabregan's in shabbos meals you know these things didn't make a difference to him you know he never looked at the watch at the clock you know he wasn't uh you know groomed exactly he has to go look this way that way and and health i mean i would it would be you know the last one i would say that was concerned about his health and and so i didn't really respond to him and then he saw that i'm kind of avoiding him he says to me with a very very serious tone of voice i'm looking right at me face to face he says and he sat back down and he didn't he wouldn't talk and there was a whole table of guys around that was going to be the end of the the purim fabregan which we all came for anyway hot solid did come and um i think they determined that uh it's best that he he'd be checked out uh only later did did i realize because a few years later you know that you know he passed away at 75 maybe was connected i don't know but this was an eye-opener health review all of a sudden became so so worried about a health issue and that that if this health issue is not looked at he's not fabricating that's one story another story with health is if i bring here gimmel thomas one shot at one time gimmel thomas was shabbos he gave the borobud rashabas and i spent the the southeast with him with the meals with him in someone's home the friday night meal and um i was sitting to his left and i noticed that there was a whole row of pills and his wife was on the other side and he like looked at her to show her that he's taking and he checked am i taking the right pills and that also took me for a big surprise he's now counting the pills which are the right pills which are the wrong pills and he as you know was besides a genius it it was a city and you know you think of siddhis i don't know to me it's like are they really concerned about their health and thinking about it or hashtag rely on god and god will help you out rabbi there's a message here and i'm talking to myself as i'm talking to you we've got to take care of our health it's part of toyota guard your health is obligatory you can be and should be the most hasidic jew and the most committed yet you got to take care of your health the issue is that there's the way the hosta takes care of his health and there's the way a non-cluster takes care of his health the huster takes care of his health because it's not about him it's about god and an arm closet takes care of himself because it's about him but i don't want to get into that now that's for another time or maybe forever the point is it's the last weeks week of year we need health and we need to take care of our health and we need to know that taking care of our health is a hasidic it's a hasidic thing you are and can be the greatest hussit of our red band of the rabbayim but take care together with taking care of your health that's my message for today and i hope we will think about it and implement it and take it to heart everyone should have gevalda geshabas shabbos the third sivan the rebel always speaks about the mylar three the advantage the quality of three and this is the third month cayenne levy syrah is three tiered naveem supermass [Music] and they tie and connect and bind each other with each other and we all have it only through symbol which says that we should wish each other you can't receive the torah being being down being depressed you have to be the simcha and and you have to work on that and you can attain it and that's through the void of the designer and anemias it's not enough just for sim card the sim card has to be epipenemias has to be coming from within find an area in your life in which you find joy you find happiness because this is the rats and hashem this is the will of god because
