What did Rabbi Elberg say in 1977 abt the Beard? Parents are responsible for children's life choices

[Music] why because in 1952 the rabbi fabringed for six seven hours of this shabbos and it was really a shabbasa goddally large a great long fabregan and it was more than just the quantity it was the quality of the fabregan that was very uh emotional and they sang the balshampton and he turned his head to the to the wall after facing the the people and made with his hands and was very very um emotionally charged and many other things that happened at this fabregan nebula would always repeat his recollections and memories of this great fabregan that showed great concentration focus and vehicles on the rebbe's part in a way that it was observable to the eye but i want to talk a little bit about a historical event that happened in 1977 i believe which is just uh last week and its relevance to pirkei office which we begin saying this shabbos there was a yida talmud one of the members and leaders of the aguda sarah but name here in new york named rabbi simcha elberg though those of us who remember him coming to the fabregas and in between the secrets in between the talks he would speak with the rapper sometimes for 20 minutes and it was you know we were just singing and the song was quieting down and then we had to recharge ourselves because he was going on and on and the rebel was talking to him and it was obvious they were talking about general issues that were relevant to goddess israel and claudius and heritage row he was involved with all that and that ebba used him as a conduit for his views on many of those issues rabbi simcha elberg abby elberg was very close with rabbi zalman goradi abzalm garadi the noted of salman gerardi was an asking communal activist on behalf of la babbage from during the free the karapus times the previous epistemes hour at epis times and in general came from the gharari family who were the staunch supporters of the rabbin great financial supporters and the famous bulgari and he was a libavich a piece of lubavitch he couldn't cut lubavitch out of absalom's blood you know and he was very tight with rabbi elberg and rob zalman was involved with a good swell and he when the rebbe called for miyahudi the campaigner to fight who was a jew legislation nurtural and all of that um he he worked he had the rabbi albert bring it to the floor of the goddess and many other things that that that ever wanted was was smart enough and knew how to to work the system and and and be part of the that upon and rabbi ellberg was schlepped into that and of course realizing that his uh cohenies his genius and his specialty as a sadiq and a leader it worked very well that's a little introduction to both of the individuals so rabbi ellberg would speak publicly on shivershaw pesach israel building on 14th avenue between 45th and 46th street today the building still stands but it's no longer part of a goddess israel it happens to be that on that corner was where rabbi simpson originally had his house in the shul and in the 1929 picture of you when you see the frida karebe coming to america and he was taken from from uh the port to to borough park and he stayed originally robbie simpson's house it's that house in the corner again the house doesn't stand there there's a it was rebuilt but that whole corner lot that went in over into the yakulisha's role part of their property was uh robert simpson's house where the frida kareba actually was i made a clip already about this and you can look look it up online on the youtube under my channel and other places you'll see it i gave more many more details and did a recording there but anyway so once we show pesach rabbi elberg would would speak and uh and rabidov who was in charge of taluka he um he sent a khutsa group of bakrim and young light and young married and others to come especially to walk from crown heights to borough park for to to be at this event to show respect to rabbi albert when he gave his dressers to the place it was much more full than just the the borough park jews that came to attend to heroes russia his sermon mind you uh the the time when khabad walked to borrow us that's when 2 000 people came and we'll talk about that another time amazing memories of that historical fact a much smaller group came but yet a group came i happened as you know i live in borough park and i happened to go i knew that uh the barbecues might have adam and others are coming and i wanted to be there and i remember that he said at this research place of russia i believe was he said at the time that he who came from poland i think he from warsaw from varsity he says he remembers what was the symbol of a yid in varsha navasha was his beard having a full beard and i recall looking at rebbe elberg when he said that elberg had what's called a a comet's battle i just the piece over here and i don't know if it didn't grow i don't know if he shaved that i trimmed i i don't know but it was it it struck me as a 17 year old bucker or so that here is talking about that the jew of varsha was represented and was observed and felt and seen by his beard and here that the speaker who's lording this and and talking about this and what it meant to what it means or what it should mean he himself doesn't have this large beard but whatever the case i remember that and i remember walking away saying to myself this is what my father so i was with justice pesach taught us when i was growing up there are the three c's of being a hasidic lapabutcher jew having a full beard going etc and not wearing a chip i'm not having frontal hair here with the you know nice stylish frontal hair i'm not talking about when your hair overgrows and you have hair and i'm not talking about because of hot seats i'm talking about when someone wants to look cool and has to have hair here in a certain style it's called a chop and my father you know railed against this as a child and it's etched in my in in not only my memory but my psyche and my personality but i want to talk about the beard the beard and it just happened that someone called me about and i said no it's i don't think it's a great idea for someone and and he called me back and he said why not he said you saw the resume and it says about this booker about this student that he went to college he has a college degree that didn't bother you but as soon as i told you he's beardless that you said forget it what's the difference and i explained myself but i want to i want to share one that could the one point with the audience here this beer that you're looking at unkempt kind of how do you tell a laboratory an unkempt wild beard doesn't roll it up you know of course sometimes people roll it up at a certain presentation but overall this is the laboratory beard regarding the mustache some do cut it some don't i said to him this by us is a mainstay college you can argue if it's paranoid that's acceptable you could say it's more private today the the the lure of philosophy is not is not there um if it's if it's a segregated college like a touring college what's wrong you know there are arguments to be made i i'm not taking a position but the beard and someone that is seen with a beard it tells you about the person piercing of us we're here to improve ourselves the a basic element that works or doesn't work for the development and the keeping of the tradition and the faith and connection is being authentic to your customs and if you're a hasid if you're a hasid a husset wears a full beard finished anything less is a secondary position even rolling up the beard is a secondary position as the lebron shop writes okay for sure trimming the beard cutting the beard it's a secondary position and i'm not your rabbi i'm not your judge i'm sharing with you with what rabbi albrecht said in 1977 to a crowd who was primarily not la bavaj although there was a lubavitch representation and also the satmar reber buildish and the kleisenberger of they brought in the wearing of the beard and the strymon and then and this year took and then the becket ship into the streets of williamsburg to be proud with your tradition [Music] so as we we we we engage and begin in the weeks of pc office the weeks of serious aim the weeks of refinement please know that parents and i'm talking to the parents to us the way we raise our children and and we raise them with the way we are when we start cutting corners and we start playing around and we start being ostentatious with our yiddish kite and flashiness and then show off this with the fancy cars and the fancy houses and all of these things and we justify it with for the sake of terror for the sake of him one has to be so careful that it's really that way because if not there will will be what we call you nico there'll be a nurture and nourishment to the negative side where some offsprings will take it the wrong way and say look you know you weren't authentic you trimmed your beard you were lavish you showed off you you had to have the latest tesla et cetera et cetera so i know you know when a chabadnix gives musser it's like oh yeah it's it's it's incredulous it's terrible it's it's against the basic tenants it's a mistake a big mistake okay why is it a big mistake because part of see this is self-improvement and we need to keep the tradition so yes i'm talking about having a full beard i'm talking about do showing this to our children and this there's no guarantees but overall it works when children see in parents that they're authentic and they're and they're not splurging on indulgences that are outlandish and lavish and this includes rabbis and and mashpeem and sages it concludes everyone remember the way we conduct ourselves is the way our children perceive us and perception is reality everyone should have a govaldegashabbas as we start learning piercing others to improve our immediacy our behavior to love each other to remember that this beautiful beard that hashem gave us men it's holy the zayara kaddish says it's a funnel a vessel for parnassa for health for children for for every wealth for everything especially panosa so here you have it you think the investment of the stock market or real estate and up and down and uh you know vidcon and this and all that just invest in your beard yeah it might be hard to wear a full beard it's fuzzy it's scraggly it scratches it doesn't look so nice you know be authentic and when you're authentic people see that and they say this is the real mccoy have a great shabbos we'll see everyone yerushalayim bye
