Tekios by the Rebbe

may this be a year of true redemption pigeon emis the pigeon fish the pound that we bring to the river the pigeon should be emmaus aleph mem tough in all aspects of our life from the beginning the middle and to the end today i'll share a little bit about my memories of register in 770. i'm sure you've heard much about it but every person has their own knach their own fetch their own perception and their own feeling so this happened wonders hashanah probably 70s 9s 80 or 81 and i my place for kia schaefer when the rebel blue schaefer i was not in what they called the washing machine which was right in front of the bema which it was so squashy and pushy you could see smoke smoke rising i didn't have declared to stand there but i stood at a table to the right in the little back and since i'm not that tall i use the ledge of the table to get on top of the ledge to make me a little taller so i could see better than eva's face and here schaefer and hear better and in preparing for that that ever came to the bema and the secretaries brought big bags brown bags full of pigeonis of petition notes that were written by thousands of yeden world over that was sent to him and were given to him and they were placed on the bhima and when he said the uh different things i believe they were covered i'm not i'm not i'm not sure i don't recall but they were on the bema and when he began blowing saying the brachus i stood on the ledge and i got pushed from behind me squashed to the point where i almost blacked out that was the only time it happened and i had to go out missing tequila so part of the kiss i don't recall now why am i telling you this why am i telling you this you know seemingly irrelevant point that happened to me personally not to you because rosh hashanah is a day when we come to the abrasive and we're ready to to black out we're ready to to leave our comforts and to give it all up for our if we're like children or whether we are servants we are yours and you are ours ladies and gentlemen this idea is commitment commitment comes from submission and it takes 48 hours it's a difficult thing so we need not just one day but we need two days the gemara says the 48 hours are damn yeah they're like one long day and the frida kareem in a mimer 1941 here in america as the holocaust was was burning the rabbit said for the gamora you understand that it's one long day of only light not darkness although 48 hours has two periods of night and day that ever said but since the mother says it's all day it's all light because the objective when we go to the yay maddin is with confidence zaikimba we don't go in as weaklings as schleppers we go in with starkite we go in with assurance that by us committing ourselves to that he is our melech and we are his servants and children that's it it's a shalom to evil it's a good sweet year but it takes commitment and it takes the willingness to be subservient and this is hard don't kid yourself if you think it's easy think again the hardest thing is to put aside your understanding your opinion and do it like someone else and this is what rosh hashanah is about so black blacking out by kies in hindsight is an avenue into subservience even if it means that the verstus you become not you become nada garnished this is kia schaefer this is malchus this is resha another memory that i have is when the rebbe returned from the bhima where he blew the first blasts that's all he blew the others were blown by by yeshiva principal rabbi yosef a holocaust survivor who learned in the laboratory if she was in poland and a tremendous yid and over the masculine balnigla and a very refined jew so he blew the other 70 kias the other 70 blasts after he finished blowing he would go back to his place to the bema and before he went to his actual place i believe he turned around made a full circle slow full circle looking at everyone as he made the circle and i'm told that that's what it says in kabbalah that the the money the baltokai actually i think the baltachaya should see everyone because the kia schaefer is for everyone and here too how many uh rabbanim how many rebels i don't know how many do this but all i can tell you is that our debbie did it and why did he do it to tell each and every one of us ladies and gentlemen i had you all in mind i'm looking at you yes you and you and you and you and you and you you little boy your little girl you little you're all part of the picture and that's a very important thing to remember as we stand and we think about the yeoman when we think about register the energy and the atmosphere of 770 on rosh hashanah was one of wholesomeness one of togetherness of course qasidim are focused on their sadika we understand that but the message behind that is that that's helps us attach ourselves to akadesh barco today wherever you are and wherever you hurt shay for old or we'll hear schaefer regardless you can emulate this atmosphere but you might ask you got to be kidding rabbi dolphin and what in what world are you you're fantasizing i'm here in wyoming i'm here in arizona i'm here in serbia i'm here in in in ireland i'm here there everywhere there aren't five thousand people in the basement measures within santa standing there and even if there are a few places like that in new york and in the eurozolaim or benebrach whatever it may be they're the exception to the rule i am a member of a congregation or i'm a regular yid then i go to a school let me tell you my friends by hearing what i'm saying and what you've heard from other rabbis and other people you can live with it if you want to if you want to find an excuse why to say it's a past and it's not real you could do that too no one's going to stop you but if you want to live with history and make the history not just the past but relevant and today which is the purpose of history it's not to live with facts of the past like a relic in a museum it's to implement today in your life and in our lives you could do it take your time don't rush don't rush will help each and every one of us to have the siva vahasimateva to be written and inscribed for a good healthy sweet year and there's no question that this year tough shin pay aleph the haiti nas played the emmaus as the rebbe says in a in a footnote of a sikh of a talk that he gave 30 years ago in 1991 that we take the pay aleph olive pay which reads off which means anger and we convert we transform it to a pea olive ploy sarena which means miraculous miracles i will show you god will show us miracles this is the year of pay olive that this year specifically after all the difficulties that the world entire world experienced from this corona and covet this will lead us to a bigger high and greatness that we've never seen before that's for sure the question is whether we'll be part of it but that this will be in the in the world this coming year no question about it whether you'll experience it is up to you hashem god never takes away one's free will never even comes you'll have free will free will is a reality so the ire it's remember yo it's all light it's all good whether it's good for you is up to you and the mailer therefore we get together say him we hear the schaefer we help others here to show you by blowing for them the shortest of the year i believe by the rabbit was might say what they call in other circles the ila it was usually a maimer hasidis that ever said quite a long one in a difficult one usually a half an hour 45 minutes or so then one or two sikhs and then the negra bayim and that was the other fabrian so usually it wasn't an hour and a half to two hours not more will be said to sit with our deb for bringing and singing exhibition the good name of the rabbayon and will march with anitsa of melanchatin itself with starkite with strength with certainty that zaikambadeen just a matter of going through the mechanics and presenting the f the facts that we deserve not only a good year but the best year shauna tevo masuka amen the um
