and when we remind ourselves about swat
remind ourselves of this very special
day yuchat
first the stalkers the yard side of the
frida kadamba
and then of course the day yucha
1951 when the rebel hour became
our so there's
a lot to talk about and
in particular i want to talk a little
bit about uh my new book that came out
this last week chabad
and boyan kleisenberg square
and stalin and the second book
chabad and tells
on the cover there's the rebbe and rabbi
gift the moroccan gifter who was the
rosh yeshiva for years
at tells in cleveland
i want to talk about a few just ideas
how the frida keraba ended made an
impact on these
rabbits and on these kids and this
goggle
and to to understand that although
sometimes we don't see it that we don't
hear it on the contrary we hear that
they're not friends of the babies
but really there's a lot more
than what than what meets the eye so
let's talk about the klaisenberger
briefly
and the kleistenberger hired
a lebovacher to be the principal of his
girls school this is rabbi mordecai
shiner so lazan kazunte lives in borough
park
he's still the principal and he was
there for years
many many years and he told me many
stories of which are in the book
and basically when they
when his uh manager
his administrator said we have an
application from alabacher and you know
i mean is this something that you want
for your girls school
he said if he'll be smart
he'll know how to balance the two and
indeed he did
and the collision began but was very
very happy that
lobovicher was the principal
of his girls school
the kleistenberger rabbit his health at
certain time
points weren't good and he was in
houston
and the schlierer
you know how to you know to take care of
him and then do that but i think
every day would ask hand the cuff to
call up and find out how he's doing
so there was an ongoing relationship
also we see that
uh they both the rebel and the claims
mcgregor passed away i believe in the
same
week or week or two in tough shindunda
which is interesting you know
so on one hand kleisenberg is a um
hungarian hasidic group
but there was commonality in various
ways
also the rashi the rebel was very
interested and taught how to learn
the clause mcgregor every thursday night
would give
uh adrasha would give on the parsha
and people would come in union city new
jersey and people come from williamsburg
and borrow park with a bus
and it was i think an hour and a half or
so an amazing sheer i was told
and a large part of that focus of this
year was rashi as well
he didn't learn and teach the rashi the
way the rabbit taught the rash of two
different
approaches but nevertheless it was
uh it was also focusing on rashi and the
rebber
when
binyamin williger was in geridis the
rapper asked
him about it he says i hear that episode
i hear
that the your rabbit you know gives a
share rashi could you tell me about it
and and things like that so
there was uh a shared interest
also i was told that to fabregas in the
early days in the
50s and 60s and 70s many years
kleisenberg
has seen them
um so if you compare you know
kleisenberg to other hasidic groups in
williamsburg
borough park etc they were probably more
more kleisenberg has seen them
and then of course we have the biannual
rabbi in this build
uh and we have the square rebel
and the that stoner
the rebbe single-handedly pushed the
biannual rebel
to become a rebel he didn't want he said
he's you know too young
the guerrari's alma gerardi is uh grants
uh
is us adam a son-in-law by the cape
capistra
was related to the beyond the river
and um through the salmon
i believe there ever you know asked him
to encourage and
he he be on the rabbit to become
in 1980 i think uh before he married
he was in new york although he married i
believe yerushalayim
a few months before he was in new york
and uh people saw him have gone to
yahidis
with the rebel quietly you know
unannounced things like that
and uh we know that there is a a strong
connection
between the holy great great grandfather
of the bianna the illusionary
have said to have called them the heilig
and uh that's
although really this is in belarusia
and this is in you know in in romania
that set that part of europe and very
far from each other and it really
the approaches of beyond in hasidis
and chabad are very very different
but clearly from the time of the
masada and delusional there was a cl
an affinity between them and that
continued for generations
and the rabbit felt this way too
when we talk about the stolen arab who
was known
as the yanuka became a rabbit a very
young age
he also has a great affinity and love
for
uh lubavitch in the river again there
although
you know he started historically there
was a big
deal it was a very different opinion
between caroline stolen
colleen the calendar and chabad
carolina the emotionalism the you know
screaming during davening and all that
and chabad is quiet
and uh introspective um
type contemplative prayer versus
emotional and ecstatic prayer
so there are major differences
nevertheless um
in our time the stoner rebbe
and and the rebber have enjoyed the a
closeness in fact they're ever
told it called them anasi um so people
make you know uh a big deal about that
and that is a big deal uh for someone to
be called the nussey
so a prince a leader of a whole uh
hasidis being called the nazi
uh we know from our calling his
father-in-law the nussey
we know how important what that means
and everything else that goes along with
it
uh finally we have discovered it
happened and this greater there but i
wrote
quite a bit about the the holy
balshampton sitter which
was very controversial for years
but today it's settled
we have the legal documents and i shared
some of that in the book
showing that there was a legal sale uh
by us
veracrusted uh to the frida krebs
representative and uh as you all know
the sitter is in the library as we
talk now it's in our chabad library at
770.
um and
um square again is a very different type
of hasidis it's oh it is a russian
hasidis they're for russian
citizens right bresliv
chernobyl um carleen stalin and
lubavitch
and each is very different the three are
very different than chabad
and even with amongst themselves there's
differences
those three groups but
uh the scared ebba has been a rabbit
since 1968 when his father passed away
and he's done amazing amazing things
he's built in entire cities
not only in new square he was
the first of the rebbes that went away
from
the brooklyn hub williamsburg of borough
park and
and opened up a uh a casitas
in rockland county and he wanted to be
away from the tumbled of
new york and he was able to
implement various customs that he felt
are important
and that thrives and their yeshivas and
girls schools and boys schools and
but russia and mikvez and this is a new
square in listen to that
we have various uh steedla here in
borough park
and uh of course today's uh mikv
on kingston avenue uh in the rabbi
levi's show
is upstairs
downstairs is the mikveh that building i
believe
was the square steeple
and um and then you have it in
in other other communities too uh here
in america and also
in arizona in england and montreal so
the the movement is a thriving movement
an active movement that has many ways
there's many institutions
and um
we enjoy a nice uh warm relationship
with
uh skver today when we talk about rabbi
a gifter
and tells it really needs a full program
for itself and amit hashem we
will do that but just since we mentioned
the book
uh briefly uh rabbi gifter
in the 1940s had a question on a
on a on a cemetery something in the
truman
and he couldn't find it and he asked he
wrote to the rebbe
i think this is in the 40s 40s and 50s
and
there's a response and the and he said
this over to several
people lit bishop people who told me
this
who were in the cleveland del yeshiva or
the kayla over there
and he said the rebbe on the spot gave
him the exact reference where he is
where it is in the childhood childhood
marseilles
and rabbi gifters always said that ebba
is a going of going
and learning he had some disagreements
with him
on other issues you know how to approach
communal
issues and you know the nifty
outreach she wasn't a great fan of that
at least
some of them and how they were done but
so be it you know
he's entitled his
