Yud Alef Nissan: What did the R say abt Friday the day he was born to R' Sholom Gansburg - RC Dalfin

A good night of Shabbos, what's the Shabbos? It's Yud Daled Nissan. It's the our Rebbe's Yud Daled Nissan's birthday. The Rebbe was born in 1902 in Nikolaev. And we still celebrate it and not only still celebrate it, we celebrate it with more strength and vigor. I remind myself of a story that the Rebbe's aide his steward Reb Sholom Ber Gansburg related. It's printed in his safer of Hakodesh Pnima. And he says over there that one one one day the Rebbe was speaking like to himself while he happened to be around and he heard it. And the Rebbe said I was born on a Friday. And Friday everything is late because everyone's rushing for Shabbos. So regardless if it's a short Friday or long Friday, the winter, the summer, makes no difference. There's always not enough time. And the Rebbe says I was born on a Friday. I don't I'm late. What am I late with? I haven't done as much as I wanted to accomplish throughout my lifetime. I'm late. Gansburg mustered the strength to tell the Rebbe, how could you say that? No one accomplishes everything that he would like during his lifetime. And you've done so much. Who has done more than you to bring to to to spread Torah and mitzvahs, to teach Yidden to make baalei teshuvah, to have shluchim, Chabad houses, yeshivas, etc., etc. And if my memory serves me well, the Rebbe like said oy oy va voy or something. I don't know if he made a hand gesture or he said, you know, like okay. That's the story. I'm thinking about this as we prepare for you dollar finish I want to talk about with the devil with God's word told him I understand and that ever shook his head and said yes. What would it ever mean over here? It's late. The devil didn't know what he accomplished. He didn't know who he is. That's foolish. An intelligent person, especially a bad neck, especially a bad neck knows very well what he accomplished. The devil wrote that famous letter to the president Ben-Zvi of Israel years ago at from the the young age of three or he 11. I forget what he he he dreamed about Messiah's coming and how the world would look and be with Messiah's coming. In other words, it's in his DNA from his very very young childhood the coming of Messiah. The devil is saying I was born on a Friday. I'm late. To me to me personally, I'm talking just the way to me. Means Messiah is not here yet. So you could have accomplished this and this and great things. It's still late. And the devil at this he told us to guns burger I believe you know when he was already in the 70s 80s was an older person. Where is Messiah? And if you if you learn the devil's secrets is my morning miss letters follow the fabrications you see that this never changed. This the cooler this point was with him all his life. On hand to recognize who you are to be the simple to continue growing and working and pushing and at the very same time to reflect, specially when it comes to a birthday, which is a day of solitude as the Rebbe writes in Yoyin Yoyin. Where is Moshiach? I'm late. It's late. And that itself is not with a morbidity and the mode of shleida, melancholy and depression, but rather a frustration as it's explained in Tanya, the difference between frustration, meredus and achshus, depression, melancholy. Melancholy, achshus is negative and forbidden. Terrible. Frustration, meredus is positive, PROACTIVE, GET UP AND DO something about it. And this we saw with the Rebbe. So, in other words, he's he's voicing his frustration. I'm late. I was BORN ON A FRIDAY. YUD ALEF, NISSAN, 1902 was on a Friday. So, in other words, the message that the Rebbe's taking from the day that he was born on a Friday and that there's never enough time IS DON'T BE SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU DID. SO, GOD'S WORDS RETORT really doesn't ADDRESS THE REBBE'S CONCERN. The Rebbe's OBJECTIVE. ON THE CONTRARY, WHAT I see isn't the Rebbe's words not a a depression and a negativity, BUT RATHER TOTAL POSITIVITY. WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT IT? IT'S LATE. And this is a healthy and a very healthy attitude and way of of refining oneself and refining the world and dealing with people and dealing with the world. So, as we say, let's get with it. Everyone can must and will contribute to Messiah's coming. Just a matter of getting getting off our bottoms girdling our loins and being proactive with all of Israel with with true love, non-judgmentalism and and working hard and pushing the envelope and we'll definitely see and ever more came you but it's ain't new with BS Messiah to came new and all of mission and we'll march to the all of her with total simple and be talking for all of height all men all men with Shabbos with Yom Tov
