I wanted to make a little clip here
about
L. Lol is around the corner. So, this is
what came to my mind. The 770 magnet.
Most people don't know what that what
what I'm referring to. Well, you walk
into 770, the first floor, not the
basement, not where the big basement
dish is. You come into um a corridor, a
vestibule
and to the right is the Merke's office.
The next door to the left is the little
base medish and to the left all the way
is the the the door to the Reb's office.
And right in front of you is the
elevator to the second and third floors.
If you look up the style
of the the builder has this this uh
pointed uh piece of I don't know plaster
or it's large it's white painted white
and we used to call that the magnet
because Barashem
as a good Jewish Yiddisha house and shul
should be it attracted all kinds of
people and sometimes the people were and
are a little strange,
different and we'll leave it at that.
So, we used to jokingly say the 770
magnet is working, but just today
took me 64 years to realize
that Davka specifically there is where
the Reba gave out dollars.
The Reb didn't give out dollars in the
base med. She didn't give out dollars in
front of his room. We gave out dollars
right there every Sunday morning
for five six years.
Why?
Because the purpose of the dollar of to
give that gave to a person to is to give
saddaka and to arouse his nishama or her
soul to connect with itself and love
each other and help each other and do
good things for and mankind.
And by the way, just historically, you
should know that that this area, this
little area, which kind of seems to be
just a pass through. You go to the
right, you go to the left, you go
across, you go here, you go there.
Right.
For example, used to dance over there
after they
said farewell to the suka. They used to
come there after fab and their suka
sometimes galant with and freak and
dance.
Two of the noted that would do this
would have freedman and cerebransky show
hand on hand on the shoulders the way
dance not like this but like that each
on each other's shoulder
and dancing in a circle
and in ten I think lid b when they were
doing that and they were dancing and
dancing and with simkas
that eb came in early and made with his
hand and there was tremendous simka by
mka
So I heard from that that's the way it
used to be done in Russia that they used
to and then they would go to to
and they would dance going into shul was
a he of the fabangan in the suka the
last fabangan in the suka for that year
and that was where where would they
dance they were danced in that vestipool
round and found
the Reb when he would come every day
from his room to Mina, he would give out
sodoka if there were children standing
or adults and there was a pushka right
before you go in was right in that
vestibule.
When the postman came and broke brought
thousands of letters, he put it down
right outside of America's office in
that vestibule.
So my dear friends,
you could look at the 770 magnet and
say, "Oh, it's attracting
strange people, weird people, all kinds
of people." And you see it as a problem.
And you see it as, "Oh, it's the 770
magnet." Or you could see that this 770
magnet is specifically what the Reb gave
out dollars to teach us. This is what
Lebabich is about. Everyone's together.
The famous story with the Moshman of
used to say overug.
I'm not I once told the story at length.
I'm not going to say it now. We might be
crazy. We might be
but we're together. So as we go into and
we go into
the month of and the month of prayer and
we're looking to to to prepare ourselves
and come to the
with all the great revelations in the
holiest way in the best way. Remember it
begins from a 770 magnet.
Love you all.
Stay in touch. Stay in touch.
