we're going to talk about
the frida karebe's time in america
when he traveled to baltimore
philadelphia
st louis all along the atlantic coast
and here we are with the background the
atlantic ocean
with the beautiful version on arrows
bridge here in brooklyn
connecting staten island and brooklyn
i believe in
mid-december to beginning of january
left the new york area and he went
to baltimore he spent time
there he met with the mayor there and
other dignitaries
and he said khasid is there and one of
the places that hasidis was in rabbi
eliot
oxlads shul angela babbage
and i was in that show the school was
closed for many years
the barbecue bought it several years ago
and
it seemed like there was a chair there
that that was the chair
upon which the rebber the previous lab
was sat when he said the mimer
abe axelrod when he would look at the
chair he would cry
from great all
that ebber went on to philadelphia
and there he went to the liberty bell
and he sat on the chair
and and where the declaration of
independence was
was written and the mayor came out to
greet him
and the mayor called the frida kaderberg
a hero and thousands of people came to
greet the debbie
in each of these cities baltimore and
philadelphia
and then he went on to saint louis and
st
louis the reception was so large
that the papers wrote that when
weissman of the weizmann institute is
israel
the famous israeli
scientist who created a world academy
for science
when he came there to st louis he had
many less people than the free that
could ever had when he came so the
question is
why did all these eden come out and you
know baltimore was
a ashkenaz city between
german jews and lit fox from vilna
it wasn't a khasitisha city other earth
cities memorial had more qasid
but baltimore wasn't yet so many people
came there
in philadelphia although it's a city of
love and lubavitch also means
the city of love luba is love in russian
nevertheless um
the the uh the city philadelphia isn't
uh you know anything
uh special as far as uh
yes there was a talmud of the river
ashab there
and uh the later that ever opened the
yeshiva there in the
4445 rabbi yitzka groener mendel
tenenbaum led that yeshiva in those
years
rabbi popek was there but that was later
i'm talking here about 1929
1930 going into 1930
and st louis as well and i think
that one of the individuals who stands
out who made
public the specialty of the previous
rabbit as a sadiq
and as a going and as a palmasita
snafish
was rabel eliezer silver a blazer silver
although himself a staunch lit
it was a massive talmud and he was the
head
of the agodes
harabanim of of of united states
and there's uh there's he was a
personality for himself
and he knew of what lubavitch did
in russia and the the messiest message
that the frida kraben
had to fight stalin and communism
and for this he rolled out the red
carpet
for this he's told didn't and he told
people
and he had his rabbis who would look to
him
to announce in their congregations to
the simple folk
that this this sadik who's coming who's
here
we must all go out and greet him because
he stands for the truth
he stands for mercedes nephesh and this
is what khabad labage is all about
mesita's nephesh self-sacrifice
putting yourself aside even the
spiritual matters
for another yid so
the atlantic ocean which is the ocean
that greeted
the rebbe when he came in 1929 and 30
and the ocean upon which he traveled
from the europe to baltimore
philadelphia
to to saint louis and continued on in
that vicinity
this ocean kind of had the good
fortune to have
such a yid such at sadiq
the previous rabbit of yosef yitzchak
that the entire
jewish world and all the cities
came to greet him and hear his maimaru
which you said in each place
and the echidna said the private
audiences that he gave
to everyone and he had a mix
built he had a special countries written
in english for
the importance of tarzan and mikva and
because of that a mikva was built in st
louis and in other places that was
one of the things that that ever did and
while it was here in america for almost
a year from september 29th
through july mid-july of 30
was to strengthen tara spoka jewish
family purity jewish family
so now 90 years later we remind
ourselves
and we see the growth of
judaism and jewish values
hasidim literacy eden
all kinds of eden working together
that came in 1929 and 30 and he
traveled after the incarceration
of 1927 and near death
a death sentence that was abolished and
then hard labor that was abolished
another sentence being sent away
and he survived because he didn't give
in
to those that opposed yiddish kite and
from kite and he taught us hasidim
and he taught claudius that we have to
stand up for what we believe
and not give in to the oppressors
and those that want to show them god
forbid
eliminate the light of akush barhu
may each and every one of us take this
lesson in our lives
to follow this sadik's strength and
courage
and this will bring ultimately the
coming of meshiach
very speedily will we will all go
together to yerushalayim
and see the rebuilding of the basa
amigdas amen
