very much quiet and unknown
and the famous story is and she will
correct me with the details i don't
remember all the details
but there was a question on salman said
because his name was
from a city but release of whatever
absolute
and it was a difficult passage and he he
was a victim of goku
and he couldn't figure it out so he went
to semantic and that somehow
said go ask
my sons he went to the course the oldest
second the third he went and they
couldn't tell him shocked they didn't
know the answer
and he's saying to himself am i gonna
i'm i'm gonna go also to the
moon i mean if shmuel wasn't known to be
involved in zayad and nariza but he said
that samar said
said go to my sons so
he he went to the house of
of of the marash it was the middle of
the night or so it was late at night
whatever at night
and he saw the light on
and he looked through the window without
the rabbit
seeing him and he saw him open to the
page of the zayato
of the kiss that he had his questions
and he was learning it
so he said aha aha
he probably knows the shot because he's
learning it
so i'm going to ask him he go knocks on
the door
did happen can't believe someone's
coming 10 11 at night
he's there he comes in his commanders
well there was older thinkers
you know come in it's like
parenthetically when we lived in east
flatbush which is a neighborhood next to
crown heights in the late in the 60s
the neighborhood went uh black you know
when the afro-american was it was a
terrible was going on anyway
so jews you were selling their houses at
cost
price or less will cost price less money
for 20 000
you could buy a nice house in 1968 69
70 everyone was running like like mice
anyway the rabbit fought against it our
rabbit
shall feinstein back the rabbit the
satmarov and williamsburg had the same
issue
with the puerto ricans and he and he
fought against it
but the idle rep rebbe there we run
we run we run run run where you running
like manuscripts says he thinks that the
you run to utah they won't kill you in
utah they won't hate you in utah
or new mexico if they want to hate you
and get you they're going to get you so
but we run so we run so
this neighborhood was called east
flatbush this is where i grew up from
from birth to
1970 or so anyway
so so uh my father
was asleep my father would work very
hard two jobs and he got up very early
and he went to sleep at a decent time to
function the next day and get up early
a knock on the door there's rabbi i
think bucket who was a local rabbit
sharov
uh rabbi yossi booker's father
he comes to the door i think with with
uh rabbi betsy and shanto if you heard
of the shento family
the grandfather fiery clustered
and they say may i may we come in my
father comes down his pajamas
he was already in bed sleeping
but when you have these two illustrious
kassidin coming to your door
he opens the door without any question
come in he's in his pajamas
and he says sit down at the table he
offers them a a drink whatever
they say we heard you want to sell your
house
to a black person schwarzen
he says that ebb is against this they
say that ebba says
no we should not do these things
and we're asking you to abide
you're a laboratory you send your kids
to the barber to yeshiva
you learned to labor to yeshiva it's not
up to you
to sell your house if you're a hostage
you listen to the river
that happened to 69 68 69
but i remember my father was telling me
how you know
in the middle of the night they won't
come up that's when they came 11 at
night
so i remind myself when i'm telling you
the story with the river marash
this ripshu bear came to him surprising
him at 11 at night
so what did he do he didn't want
rip schmuber to know that he's reviewing
the his father's mimer and he knows the
shot
and he's learning that section so he put
a big
russian newspaper on the table
and he hid his safer so that absolute
bears should think
that he's a commoner he's reading a
newspaper
said how are you
and he says you heard the mymar shop and
says yeah oh
he says maybe you could tell me shot in
this in this section
he says me what are you crazy me go to
my brothers
i don't yeah i'm a com i'm a craftsman
i'm i'm i like to joke with people when
they come to le paris i like the
schmooze
so he says listen fella listen to that
shamu
your father said that one of my sons
will explain the
shock i went to your brothers they
didn't know and i saw you learning that
exact section so i know that you can
explain it to me
and he said if you don't tell me the
shot
i'm gonna tell everyone about what
happened
and the cat will be out of the bag and
every and everyone will know that you
are the real mccoy
and this story that i'm just telling you
now
was one of the reasons or maybe the
reason in addition to the
shock din
this is the reason why he became
the because the word got the word got
out
that this this move is such a quiet
unassuming person you would never think
that is
a shaykh to be a rabb
and when they heard an elder closet of
the samadhik who had seniority and was
known
they said that's it
now for the sake of truth and history
it doesn't mean that the khasidim of the
cuppista the maganovis
and the others jumped for joy and became
his cousin
they did not and in fact i heard from
hasidim
that he had the smallest group of the
babaji
seed the marash
and for the way it seems to me for 30
years or so
till the his son there are shop took
his father's place in lobovic in 19
in 1893 where he sat on his
chair because his older brother
absolutely
moved to victor so he didn't feel that
he's violating
were you supposed to give cover to your
older brother when he left town
that was the first time in 1893 that he
sat in the chair but
that's a technical thing what i see from
this is
that for like 30 33 years there was a
low
a low in in in lubavitch and i have many
proofs to that
it was it was so you know but
nevertheless
nevertheless our tradition from the
rashabe the previous level
is that he is the fourth rabbit and have
a lot or a little makes no difference
he said hasidis and he continued the
tradition
of lubavitch and his theme
was what does that mean what is that
what's that all about he would he's
would say
i told you i think once it's printed
only actually in one letter
of the previous letter and now it ever
took this one line
from a letter that if that's that's
his father was a letter and he made of
it
the theme of all themes how to behave
and act as a yid as a husset
and when he writes to someone he says
who writes about an issue he says
you know you're writing and telling me
you can't do it you're having a
difficulty
you've tried this you've tried that so
he says
the the he said it in yiddish the world
says
people say you try going
under you try going the normal way you
try to go
and if you don't succeed then you jump
over
he says that's what people say and then
he says and i
say my approach is
jump over don't
waste your time with the trying approach
this is a a difficult avoider
maybe a risky avoider and very
unconventional and that's why small
i think the rev every year now i think
every year that ever
twice a year at least on the yard side
in the yoma letters when he fabric about
just just for the record the
the first year 1950 to 51
the rabbi mr mindel
the rabbit secretary went over to a few
bahrain
and asked them to go to the river in
those days you would knock on the door
you know he was in his office and if he
was it wasn't busy would let you in
and he said ask him to make a vibranium
on the reber of shabs yorks like bay's
nissan
they did that and the rabbit said i'm
not gonna for brain base listen
but come back to me in a month from now
bayesia and then alpha bring
so for some that's what 1950
1950. so for some reason
the rabbit had this affinity to basir
really it's very interesting because
base year is rather marash
baseless in israel
the previous rep is father but for some
reason
unless base nissan came out on a shabbos
he didn't make a vibranium however but
bay's here
every year i don't know if every single
year the 1950s but
once he started the vibrating more often
in the 1970s every year
so beijing was a fabregan and the yard
side you gimmel tishrei
and every time he spoke about the
river and other times during the year so
the rebbe
identified and really if you look at the
rebbe's life and what he did and what he
who he was he was one piece
of the river really he did things
it's today you know i have a zoom with
these whitfisher buffering
i have no idea what they are but they
told me they've been asking different
people around the world who have
interesting things to discuss
to talk to them so they asked if i could
talk about lubavitch and the yeshiva
world i said fine you know
but if you and i'm thinking about what
to say
so you think about the rebbe's life what
he brought to the world
it's just it really is
to go and send someone to to to wyoming
with buffalos or whatever cattle or or
mountain lions and to go to send someone
here even robert cunanan
he comes to l.a in 1965 okay they were
from jews but
you know the story that when the hippie
when rabbit when rabbit cuda brought in
uh hippies with uh with the torn pants
and the long hair and the smell
into the hungarian shul in in in fairfax
or wherever
they went over to rabbi raichuko to show
them they said get him out of here
i'm sorry this is not either skype
you come into a shoe dressed like a
manchester malika mensch
so so so it was it was a revolution a
revolution
that that's one revolution and then in
torah the rabbi made a revolution
with his approach to rashi and in many
other areas
and if you ask any lubavitcher boy or
girl
who goes through the system of the
babbage and you ask
him what is le baba's what's the
approach
you know this attitude nothing can stand
in my way really this
it's a husband it really is a hutzba
attitude
normally you go a b c d
e f you know in an organized way here
you go
all out shatter convention and just go
for it
and uh again i'm not saying you have to
do sugar things
because the reverse said in 1982 out of
a brain
tissue and they say he was talking to
robbie cunanan
who was 17 million dollars in that the
rebels said the idea of the rib is the
toyo
becalam the ticket the energy the
passionate energy that's infinite that's
tohu
but within the vessels within the within
the filters
of tikkun so you know to do
crazy things and hurt other people is
not what the red
man has shown but it means the inner
attitude of the heart and the approach
should be
that needs this needs to get done and
you do it and every one of you
knows stories and people who
you've you've seen this and hopefully we
in our lives
emulate this and this was the motto
that ever says of the rabbi marash
and i and again here too you have to ask
yourself how did it ever get to that
conclusion
from one line on a letter and the answer
is no
the answer is because he always said
and his father-in-law said that my that
the fleet that the rebel marash
did
he live he did like
behavior in other words and their
stories
how he went over to someone in a train
he didn't know him and he said to him
young man
contaminates the mind and the heart and
and the guy didn't know and then later
the story is that he became a balchu
when he came to that marash
he met him in a hotel and he cried his
heart out he said
and he became about troopers in other
words it was so it was so
uh not the norm to go over to someone
and give him the smusser yes
this guy more he had people carry him
on his chair into the casino this guy
was in the casino
and he came up to him right
right thank you those are those are the
correct details yeah
and it's like so what is it that's going
to you know it's like
rabbi grossman right from your shell
amigdale mc
going into you know the nakhla shiva
bars you know when we started off
you know so anyway the point is that
today is a
really uh an electrified day it's
basically here
so everyone today is a good day for fila
extra tila
extra seductive extra tater it's a day
that we could
you know really in ourselves
make a a if there's something difficult
to to say i'm doing it i'm doing it
and not to allow anyone including your
spouse
including your kids and including your
rabbis
if you feel conviction do it
do it now you don't do it like a horse
and like an animal you know you don't
sharpen another person
but you if you're if it just involves
you then you do it
people might say well you know that's
not the right way
if i'm not disturbing you and you can do
what you want
i have a right to go to so moshe myers
i want you to go to today you hear what
i'm saying
you ask hashem for everything and you
say hashem give me the
guys what time is it i have no idea
okay listen we didn't we didn't learn
inside the mimer but i thought it's very
important to go over
the the life and history of the rabbi
maras because there's not a lot known
about him
and uh he was mama big sadiq
everyone should have a great day
zeitgeist yes hila you want to say
something thank you
bye
