Rebbe in Paris shul 17 - Rabbi Steinzaltz - Reb Levik 20 Av

we're celebrating the holy shabbas it reminds me of a few things about the rebbe and france and this week i met someone whose father whose stepfather was the gabai in the shul that was is known as zibitson 17 in the pletzel section of paris with the rabbit davent and uh today le baba see them have that shul and their fabregans so the son lives here in borough park robert mayor of its who happened to be a councillor in campground usadola in 1961 he told me he's not a laboratory was a very fine yid mama talmud so he told me a few things that he heard from his father about that ebbers and the free credibility's being in that show the first thing he asked me was do you know why that ever came to that show although that i believed like a half an hour walk from that show that didn't live in that area so he said it's because when the frida kader once needed an eye operation in switzerland on the way there and on the way back he stopped off in fran in paris and he darvened in that shoe so because of that it ever walked specially half an hour to darwin in the show where the fleet of kadab david which shows us the great his castro's connection that rabbit had to his father-in-law the freedom and for us to have to our rabbit the rebel would sit in the last bench by the back wall towards the door that's where he sat and many times he would when he would stand up and he would turn around to the wall and daven to the wall meaning for whatever reason he didn't want to i guess be this disturbed i don't know why but the the the gaba said that he he noticed that he spent quite a bit of time dobbing himself quietly towards the wall he also said that normally after shakhness shabbos he would leave shul right away would not stay around for the kidushi the only exception to that was ancient simcastada he sat down with the islam together with everyone else and he would say hello say him one simple study said there was someone sitting there that never asked him who he was and they were talking and he and then he asked about his family and then they were talking this name and that name the following simple state i remember he didn't debit didn't continue to conduction not that there was him every single week but whenever he he he it was a uh shinkansen later a year later and the same person who happened to be a lit [ __ ] a little [ __ ] was there and rabbi asked him so how is uh yaakov how is it how's and he was blown away that the never remembered the names in detail and he hadn't spoken to him in a year's time and he only told it to him one time a year ago sim cristida and he remembered all the details about the conversation and he asked them all about it and he was in a spoiled this uh this literature was a spell of the rebel zikaren and the gaba the gabay said you could see in the litfish's eyes how he he was saying uh wow this this hosted this husset he has such a devauldic as he could have such an outstanding memory and the gobbler was like to himself like like he could he felt like the lead [ __ ] can't take it you know it's the hustle who has this phenomenal memory i don't have such a good memory this was the this is this was the thought of the gabba who told us stepson told me this this week so this is uh a few of the uh the tidbits that he told me i asked him about other things that i heard about that being at the the statue teaching there and they're giving shoot him this that he didn't know any of that but uh he remembered that he also remembered that benjamin gordonski would sit up front and he also said that the freedom could happen his father told him if he declared he came and he dived into that shoe he sat up front but the rabbit sat in the back like i said before and this week well actually today was uh a different note the lavalier of adin steinseltz i'll make a clip uh next week my experiences with rabbi steinselds some recollections the ikidasa should have a lifting and garnetin he did so much for cloud you said oh literally and i say claudius he's uh swearing his talmud is has been learned by thousands and thousands and thousands hundreds of thousands of people made yeshivas both and earlier in russia and you know he was a niche claudia and asking and uh there's a lot of history to his where he came from how did it become a laboratory and other issues which hashem will share a little bit next week we needed they should help that in this house this week's also the yard side of the rebbe's father levy yeah i believe he is father was a massive talmud a going and a big makuba and in his sword in taylor slavy hitchcock there are the titus and the letters and it's a fascinating fascinating way to see how he had the entire tata encapsulated in his kabbalistic ideas it's uh if you haven't learned any of taylor slave yitzchak or even the mikhtov the letters you owe yourself a favor not a claim not an obligation to to take a taste you know you you'll taste it you'll love it and you'll want to learn more and more iconic should come with a simcha as we go into the month of ellu and we accustomed to already saying everyone should be blessed and written for a year of health and the acre of color equilibrium a year that will see mashiach the paul mamish with our physical eyes our and we will dance together made of you may know me
