Reb Zalman Moshe Hayitzchoki: Fiery and Sharp Chasid, Knew Samach Vov by heart, Hiskashrus

the known and famous who was a in Neville and he was also considered by some their Masia in the sense that his fiery attitude towards AES towards God Almighty with his devotion toid kabad and particularly to kidish kite was contagious really contagious I'll give a few short stories that indicate this I I don't even you call them stories but he was once for bringing he was asked to come to to and there the r was a Lish aish person a person of who followed the litak way and he prayed the am with tremendous devotion and passion and he made with his hands and with his eyes and body movements Anda was sitting already waiting for him to finish so he can you know get to the faan and he notices that and all of a sudden the the RV goes like he wipes off his face because a herring hit him and he had no idea what happened after he finished the prayers he asked who how did I get hit by a herring in middle of the prayers so they they told him that it came from the guest faera so he went over to him and he says did I offend you somehow Anda said to him absolutely he says how did I offend you I was praying to God he says but you made such motions and such commotion and such um you made a a big deal about yourself by throwing your hands and and looking up and looking down and crying and doing this and doing that in a way that was beyond the norm and here it is UT tonight which is we're celebrating the balat the ALB special day which is pus inwardness no outward manifestation of your own stuff so I had to see this tonight so I just couldn't take it anymore I took a herring and I threw it at you now guys this is a sharp story it's not to be be repeated you know in a in in a sense to anyone everyone but I'm sharing it with you because there's a point here let's not get caught on the legalistic issue how can he how Cana throw some a herring on a r there's no justification for that helically legalistically but in spirit where was he coming from and this kind of represents this is fire and that's why considered his even though he wasn't the in where AA learned in in the that's one thing another story that I heard from wanted he was a of the but he he he was born I believe before the Reb rashab became the the rebba anyway he knows he was born during the time I believe of the RAB marash the fourth reab anyway but he but he but he was a of the of the rash he wanted TOA he wanted a study part Inus so there suggested that he learned together with the of the known as who better than that can you get as a the main so he starts learning with him and he says he wants to learn I think because they say do word for word s he was a Bucky an expert in s the discourses of the from the year 1906 which by We call we call it's known as s very famous Contin Continuum of discourses anyway says I don't learn that I learn from from theed Al the when he heard that he says he went back to the Reb rashab he said I'm not learning with him so the says why not he says he doesn't study he's not learning youram himself was also from from the maybe theed time but and he didn't kind of consider theab his and repeated to me it it was his father-in-law was ab's father-in-law and he said dar minut dar minut dar minut okay I agree with you that said to it's not necessary it's not necessary it's not necessary in other words you're right you're right if if you feel that he is not connected to the rebba of the time the rashab and that's why you don't want to learn with them I understand you this was the type of Jew who who he was and one last story that I heard from is that wheni may be well in was 9 10 11 years old they were part of the uh in t Aviv and there were young boys in the in the Yesa which I've also made clips about in Tel Aviv and lived nearby so once after he daved after he finished praying and he prayed for many hours and he thought he came over with a little uh shot glass and he said let's say he said I'll say with you but I'll say twice one's for myself and one's for you I think that's the version I heard and he said and he said to to this to muttle to to mtle said mtle Ain got em there's only one God and God is the only thing the only reality the only existence you agree and ab said and this poor little boy bottled vski had didn't know like what's going on over here explained that this this came after he daved and after he meditated and reflected on hasem there's nothing other nothing else besides God there's no other existence he he he he he wanted that should be materialized in the physical world so he found he happened to find this little buck this little student this little boy and and and he kind of used him as a sounding board for what he meditated upon just a a short while before that again this is the type of Jew we're talking about FAS told me the of this he said he would get up at 3:00 in the morning he would learn I think s from 3: to 6 at 6 he would go to the Mikvah and then from 6:37 he would dve until 9 or 10 this is every day of the week and then he he would go he he would go to the to he was a ritual Slaughter and he would do his job for five six hours eat something and again learn and and go to sleep this he told me was his daily routine so this although not a formal Mas he was in a in a way the epitome of a Masia and there's a beautiful picture you can see it online of RA FAS sitting he's buried inas near the Cav near the the um the burial site of another famous of the may forget his first name now anyway um he's buried there and there's a picture of of re mendal sitting on a on a stone nearby like this and you could see his his entire love and feelings how he has for his mashpia he considered his mashpia not K who was his Masia in the but his Masia was real was this fiery
