good morning everyone
yaakov nice to see you hilo nice to see
you
today is a special day it's the 11th of
shot
so we'll get right down to it and we're
gonna fabric a little bit talk a little
bit about
the specialty of the of the of yesterday
and today
so in 1950 1950 71 years ago
on this shabbos 71 years ago
at about eight or so ten to eight i
think in the morning
the previous video passed away suddenly
it was not expected he was ill for many
many years
and um you passed away
the it was the shabbos it was travis
it was exactly the same uh fears like
this year shabbos 71 years ago
and he um so they see them shabbos
you're not supposed to mourn shabbos but
for states
it was it was a very difficult shabbos
and uh matsushabus
they did the tahara and i
it's interesting that uh zalman shafter
abdullah says i don't know how he knows
this but i guess he saw the person he
says he was standing
with the rebbe who was called the ramash
the rebels hebrew initials is memshin
the older brother-in-law and the younger
brother-in-law is ramash
so he was standing with the ramash
outside of the previous rebels
room which is a second floor is 770.
770 has four floors the basement
the first level you walk in where's the
rebbe's
room is to the left with the rubber side
to the right is the base madras
all the way to the right facing closest
to eastern parkway is
the america's office on the second floor
was the apartment of the previous rebel
and on the third floor was the apartment
of rabbi garari
and rabbi that that that was the the way
the 770 was since 1941
um till uh till you know till the end
anyway
so so so um the rebel was standing there
and saying tell him that's what he's
supposed to do when you're you know when
you're next to a body he's supposed to
say tell him that's there's no
that's there's not time to it's it says
do it
and he's saying to him and the kadisha
person
came out of the room and he says alma
says that it was
uh someone from the high in berlin i
guess he knew him he wasn't alabachia
you know it was a yi that
was involved in havoc berlin you know so
you know
for us listening to to this today it's
like a
higher belin person was doing the tahara
on the frida kareva
that's pretty uh amazing you know you
asked uh lobavich over the last 50 years
he wouldn't believe it but that's what
solomon said anyway
i'm not saying there weren't other
barbecue there there were i mean rabbi
jacobson i mean that
he was the head of the you know saying
anyway so he comes out
and um he asked
uh he asked the ramash the rebbe
questions of
chabad custom regarding the tahara
and zalman answered this to me because i
asked him i asked zalman if
if he and his friends had a sense who
would be the next rebber that's what i
asked him when i interviewed him in in
my interview with him in boulder of the
night in
2010 so so um
so he said to us he says to me and to us
it was a
it was a it was a given fact that he
will be
the rebbe and he says the proof is here
i'm standing
with with him saying to hillary and the
guy comes out from the
from the room doing the tahara he
doesn't go to the older brother-in-law
to ask
his shyless he goes to the younger
brother-in-law because in torah
knowledge he was he was gifted and he
was uh
he was a big guy much bigger in learning
so when it comes to a shia la
la custom regarding tahara this
there's no place to see this you got to
give the
you got to give the minute so he went to
the ramash
so this happened this happened much last
last night
71 years ago okay then
another thing happened that night that
um
i heard just about a month ago or so
from someone
who heard it from rabbi salman of rabbis
almanov
there were two brothers one lived in
benebrach and one lived in
in i think tel aviv they've both since
passed on they lived into the 90s i
think
and um they had a father and an uncle
both were
tell me them i think in lubavitch in the
original yeshiva and they were alibaba
family from way back so
the this rep shmuel's alma was his name
it was very close
to the previous rebbe like like a friend
almost you know
and he was very bright and very learned
and he was a great
writer and you could see that he was
talented
so he told over the story again whether
he was there i don't know but
but i rely on him because he was in the
inside
so he told over that the night
of the yucha the night master shabbos
last night
the repetition the previous rabbi's wife
her name was muhammad
rabbit said medina she called
both son-in-laws and she said i want to
see both of you
and she brought them into the room where
the holy body
of the previous rapper was lying on the
floor you know that's that's
before you're buried you're supposed to
lie on the floor you know that you put
the body on the floor
and um and she said in front
of my husband i want you both
to give him an agreement that you're
going to live
in peace
and that you're not going to you know
argue and and make issues who should
she didn't have to specify you know
who's going to be the rebels not going
to be the rebber
and and everything else this happened
71 years ago last night
and i never heard that before and it's a
very interesting
story and and and insight
that although you know her husband just
passed away and although there was a
question who would become the next rep
at the time
by by some including her okay
and it seems to me as far as she was
concerned she didn't want to appoint
anyone to be rebel she wanted it to ride
and to give each one positions
of the positions that they held while
the previous whatever
was um was
uh was what's it called was um
i'm not looking at you i'm looking right
at you
you don't see me you're not you look it
looks like you're looking at the screen
like somewhere look you're looking down
we don't
we don't see your eyes not like looking
at us now
it's better it's better
now it's better
okay okay i don't know don't worry about
it
okay anyway okay so
so um what she wanted the way
it seems it seems to me is that things
are just
right in other words rabbit garage was
in charge of the
babaji yeshivas which in the 40s there
were 14 yeshivas
in the east coast in rochester in
buffalo
in springfield in philadelphia
in boston so he was in charge and of
course the main yeshiva in crown heights
in 770.
um and the rebel was in charge of
mercury israel and cohost the three
organizations for education and
publications
and and outreach and all that so
and things were going nicely so from her
vantage point it should continue that
way
and if you take a look at her stationary
she had stationary it said muhammad dino
schneerson
so after huge fat she sent out a letter
and and said you know and other letters
during the year
and you see her name is in the middle
and her two son-in-laws her older one is
below on the right
and the rapper is to the left below
so in other words she just wanted it to
go that way this way we avoid
conflict and controversy
it didn't go her way because mostly they
wanted
this the rabbit to become the rabbit
and this and this is it this supports
one second
one second another story that absolutely
told me
that night when i interviewed that date
i interviewed him a fascinating story
listen to the story and demo shall tell
you zalman was in fall river
massachusetts at the time
working with college students okay and
others
this is i'm talking about 1951 52
and i and and in 1950 i'm not sure if he
was there in 1950 because he was in
rochester in 49 so i'm not sure where he
was in 50.
i think he says he was on fall river
anyway he came
he he was he was there at you know after
when the rep priebus ever passed away
he was in crown heights some maybe he
was in crown knights i don't know
and then he goes to fall river and he
comes back the next time to crown
heights purim time
so it's a month from right right the
strategies test for
you download others a month later or so
and in 770 in the upstairs
there's a long corridor i told you on
the right is the base measures on the
left is the reba's room right
it's a long car at the end of the
corridor there's a sink
it seems like that sink was there since
the 1940s when the
and earlier when the man built the house
by the way
the person who built the house was a
doctor and he was very wealthy obviously
and he and he bought he he had the
material brought from italy in other
countries
i mean there's a whole book about the
book of 770 and
rabbi hovland in ramach lomo
emulated that building and like almost
precisely with with the bricks
to get the bricks anyway anyway
and the river sees him and he sees that
he's washing his hands
so they're emphasized him i assume you
were by the oil
and you're washing your hands coming
back from a cemetery
so he says yeah so the rabbit says i i
hope you you
there's a traditional saying that you
wish someone when
you hear them either going to sadik's
cave or coming
is good which is yiddish for
asking of of the sadiq to intercede on
your part to hashem for everything good
okay and the rabbit says that to him
then the rabbit does something in a way
uncharacteristic but it looks like you
know he had a
with zalman he had an open type of
dialogue was that type of guy you know
he was he didn't mince words and he
enjoyed conversation and dialogue
so he says versus what did you ask the
rebel the previous celebrity you went to
the yoyo right
what did you ask him
you could imagine you know which hustler
today would ask that
you know just it's that's what happened
osama says he said i told him three
things
three things one that we should have a
rather
right it's a month after the
preventative passed away
things are in limbo we don't know what's
going on
so the first thing and you know
i there should be a rabbit then he said
number two
and he points at him you should be the
reber
and number three says that hashem should
bless you with children
and he says that
that they held hands again again if
that's zom's version or not i mean
i'll let you answer that because it's
not you know
but they held hands and they stopped and
they both were crying
that happened uh around purim
uh 1950. mostly he wanted to say
something
yeah i just want to say going back yeah
for a second
what you said about the rabbits in the
medina yes stationary
the names she wanted things so the
status quo
i've heard i don't remember we spoke
about this in the sheer but i've heard
in other places maybe it was maybe just
because i was what i was reading about
uh the last two three weeks or so that
she
i've heard it said that she felt that
her husband was
was like it like it her husband was like
the last rabbit
now there's the the rabbit riots and
there's that she
yeah still some people went to her so to
speak yeah that that that
that is true that that that is true
that is true that is true she um
she she didn't you go ahead what no so
how did she practical
two things and her view one is what was
her view
and two on a practical level
obviously she saw that you know that it
in
1951 you thought that the first yard
said
that her younger son-in-law became the
rabbit she obviously saw that so and she
lives quite a number of years after that
so
i guess on my question on a practical
level how did she deal with it okay so
uh
number one um like i just said i just
answered the first question she wanted
everything just to ride to be the way it
was
each one has their institutions they're
in charge of and kind of there's no
official rebel
and uh whether she you know and and that
she
yeah that formerly her fa her husband
was the
would be the last rabbit that's correct
you know
um and she and you're right she lived
20 years not just a few years she passed
away in 19 you yeah
sarah potavis so 1970 or 71 i think 71.
yeah that's 21 years
okay that's a long time now
to answer your second question
hasidim chose the rapper not 51 huge fat
that you're referring to which is 70
years from
yesterday but really already most of the
year
they were gravitating to him most most
not all
she had a hard time with it and uh there
were very very
uh sharp exchanges in writing some of
which i have
and um she
[Music]
she it wasn't that she was the way i see
it
it's not that she knew what the she knew
that the rep was a massive time with her
and everything else she was she was a
smart woman
she knew the score but nevertheless
she had a daughter and her daughter
edgar arary's wife was a powerhouse and
a very opinionated
and very powerful and the daughter
and had a husband and had a son
barry garrary so but it's really her
it's really the mother her daughter
hannah
she you know she wanted if
she said i guess if anyone's gonna be a
rabbit should be my husband
because he's older and he has also was
um he learned in lebanon
but then many arguments that she
presented okay
and uh they see them basically a group
three hussein
they they they made a committee and they
tried
pacifying her and working with her
but at the same time not conceding on
their decision
um she wasn't accepting of that and she
just went to the side
just went to the side you could jump up
and down but if you don't have the
people with you
it's not going to help you and that's
what happened here
and and there's another
point you need to know that amongst the
older sedum there are shops
most of them in crown heights we're
talking about they were the ones
like calling the shots because they were
right there
they sided with the rebel they they
wanted they wanted although he was much
more closed
but a they had issues with gharari okay
that's one point b they saw that this
person is is something special so
regardless of her opinion which is the
previous member's wife
they they wanted to consider it but when
they felt
that we need for the younger generation
we need a rebel
and some of them had this in mind you
know
we will kind of educate him we will form
him because he's only 50 years old
right 48 years old right that was 48
when he became a 49
right so they also weren't pure in their
thinking
okay off the record they also were
you know we're going to put someone
there to to drive the ship
to drive you know to be the captain but
we will we will
guide him yes jacob what was the age
difference between them
so let's say one rip schmool of it he
was born in 1883
that's 19-year difference rabbi elliot
simpson because ravi simpson was totally
on the rabbit's side
what between the ramos oh the shrapnel
was uh 1899 about three
three years two three years three years
yeah so so so um
so again therefore to answer your
question is
there were some in the beginning sharp
exchanges
um they basically said either you come
along with us
or you're gonna be sidelined and that's
what happened she was sidelined
and recently they published from an
auction house a letter if yeah
it's online you could probably read it
um where she's like writing to
i think rabbi hovland and yorusha lion
and she's um
or to someone and she's like com she's
talking out loud like could could you
could you get everyone could you get
them to stop i know she felt
very very uh ostracized and she was
ostracized why
because she she was going against the
majority of the people
and she just went to the way to the way
and since 1951
till she passed away she pretty much was
marginalized
yes really quickly
on that note just just real quickly she
is she's not buried her cover
no she is yes yes it's right it's about
there's three robinsons they're
there by the oil no comedian you're
talking about hanagarari no she would
refused the rabbit begged her and asked
and she refused to be buried there and
it's very tragic in in the old she's
buried
in the mooncatch there's a picture
online used to be a picture of barry
taking
walking his mother out from here in
borough park 14th avenue the building
the munkacha shul
she went to speak to the munkachoreba
about buying a plot in muncaj
which is in queens um i'm not sure where
it is
it's it's it's it's a different it's a
different place oh yeah for sure i think
it's out in new jersey
i think it's in the mountains
[Music]
right next to the red on the right uh
the right hand side the previous rubber
there were shards the rasha grabbed
shamayagarhi
he's right outside the oil yes okay
okay you're innocent yeah yeah it could
be just that's
why barry turned out the way he was 18
let's let's state everything could be
okay you have to read jonathan i wrote a
40-page article
on barry garari in my first volume
portraits number one
after you read that you'll have an
understanding of his philosophy
and everything else about portraits one
yes yoni you want to say something
i don't hear you
khan's husband what robertson's husband
what was
his name no the rabbits
and his acronym was rashad
okay so so what i understand is that
the rabbit didn't want to be the rubber
right they had to run after him
literally to be the rebel he didn't want
to be the rebel that's correct
did the rashad wanted to want it to be
the rubber yes
yes yes so
how did they the two of them reconcile
with that now one second
whether he wanted himself or his wife
wanted him to be rep and therefore he
said i'll do it i think it's the latter
because of chanagarari her husband said
okay i'll do it
now what what's your what was your last
question yoni what
no so my question was if they ever if
the if the rebba
and rob grossi if they after they ever
actually you know came to some kind
absolutely absolutely you guys would
have loved last night sabrina and i
spoke all about this
1953 there was a rebel in borough park
who came from shanghai and you've heard
his name
amshanov this option of a rep is
i think grandfather his name was shimon
they called him rabshimalo
and he was very tight with the previous
rabbit both in
because he lived in atlanta so he and
the frida karebo and the previous rabbit
came to at first
they were very close and
when the laboratories escaped to
shanghai
the previous rabbit told them ask rabbi
the option of a rabble for direction and
listen to him
and then he makes his way to
williamsburg back to brooklyn
and he hears that the two brethren was
you know there's a schism there with the
families whatever you know
and i have to clarify that the rep and
the rabbits
were not fighting they were being fought
and i'm not saying this because i'm
disgusted
it's facts facts okay
like like you said he was running away
from it
and but then see them put all this
pressure and they put
new ads in newspapers and they they kind
of crown him as the
baba trabber you know and you trot and
and
and if you listen to the first mimer
which you surely should
and he says clearly he says if you think
i'm going to
you know do the work for you you got
some you got that's not the babish
that's not khabad in our
system of you got to do it yourself we
will help what we could do
whatever we could do but you got to do
it yourself so he
shunned away from saying i'm taking the
responsibility i'm the rep and all that
anyway so the option of it ever heard
that there's the schism so one day
rabbit label grown
over shalom told over the story and he
was there he was you know
good even in those days in 53 so he said
that
one day the option of it ever shows up
at 770.
he doesn't ask any questions he walks
upstairs to the previous rep is
i'm sorry to the rashad's apartment
third floor right i told you the third
floor
and he says i'm not leaving here until i
get a commitment from you
that you're going to live in peace with
your brother-in-law
he gets the commitment he goes down two
floors
uh he goes down two floors to the rebels
room to represent
this room and he goes in and he says i'm
not leaving here until i get a
commitment from you
the following shabbos for bringing or
whatever the next fabrega was
robert garrary showed up at the fabregas
until then he didn't come to the
fabregas so
rabigronow says that it was the option
of a rebbe
who brought them together in a way that
and and
from then and from that day on i could
tell you
that was
the biggest husset of the rebel
and and and the beginning and what did
he say he realized he said
if he can go to the o hell so often
and say that he
this is what he hear this is what my
father-in-law our father
was saying and once
i can't i can't match that
and he knew the rapper he knew what kind
of person he was you know
and if he says if he if he can talk to a
stone
and hear what the stone says the caver
he's on a different level i i can't and
he became his biggest hostage
and i could tell you many stories
improving how
he everything both from the financial
end when people gave the yeshiva big
monies
he had an agreement the first 50 percent
goes to the rep i mean
in many ways it wasn't just lip service
and unfortunately the family didn't come
along
so it didn't just erupt in 1985 with the
forum
it goes back to 53 54 55 and all those
years
when he was became the rebber's husset
and and they couldn't handle it you know
it's like
this is this is too much for us so they
were
basically just left to the wayside
and it was very sad but that's that's
the mathias
you know there's a point in life
if you don't join them you become
irrelevant unless you have your own
your own cup of tea and in their mind
they have their own cup of tea but it's
it's it's a joke you know no one's with
you like
what so this
is part of this is not just par this is
not just true
in our dynasty it's in other dynasties
but i could say that that
until 1985
i don't want you to make the mistake
until 1985 things were
smooth out outwardly things ran
there was no fights in fact until
i nev i and i i grew up in la babbage i
had no idea about libraries and swarm
who they belong to they don't belong to
fam all this i'm telling you is from you
know as an adult researching and
you know and you know finding out since
probably that 1985 is when we started to
say oh
interesting what's going on but all
those years
things were quiet and the average
student in yeshiva had no idea what's
going on
nothing let's continue
let's continue so
the whatever becomes that and then in
exactly 71 70 years ago
he a hussett by the name of rabbi sender
nemtsov
i think he was born in 1870 a laboratory
he was dr rabbinissemendell's
father-in-law
he lived in england and in america
anyway
he gets up at the fabrega and he says
and he's an old
he's like 32 years older than the rebels
he says your listen hearing talks from
you
is wonderful but see them
need and want to hear a mimer
that's what he said in front of
everybody
now when i say in front of everyone
there were 200 people in the room not 2
000 people but
there were people and
the rebbe then started to
say bossy legani anybody he began
with my father-in-law says
basilagani like he wouldn't say that i'm
saying
i'm repeating what my father-in-law said
and of course it was his mimer
that he based on his father-in-law's
mimer
which was written
which was it was which was published for
the yard side let me explain this
the last five to ten years of the
previous rep his life
he was ill as you know he was wheelchair
bound
he had ms and then he had a stroke in 45
he wasn't a well man
he had some better years worse years you
know himself but overall it wasn't great
health
and see them the babbage just see them
uh arabic was mimer
com talks conversation for brennan's
it's not it's nice and very important
you know
but what establishes the khabar ethos
is the merchandise no
he he's not feeling well enough to say a
mind where he's not well enough to write
his own memory
so what he did is he instructed his
younger son-in-law our ever
he told them to take which my murmuring
that he had said in the 1920s and 30s
and to republish them for utes kisliff
1944 45 46 47 48
to add references and he wrote
i think sometimes a new beginning and
end
and that became the mimer of 1948
yutez kislev so this minor bastillagani
that we all study and talk about for
uchfat
was originally said parsha's boy
1923. and you could take out the safer
and look at that mimer it's printed
today and you will see almost word for
word the same
yes hello didn't we learn that
we learned no we never learned that
in 1923 maybe we learned it in bastille
higani
i don't i don't remember uh okay
um so
so um go back so so
um he uh
he um
so the so the previous rabbit had the
rabbit prepare
for my morim for four events
yuchabat yudh gimbelshvat purim and base
nissan
huge fat is the yard site of
his his
uh uh grandmother right the
representative
one the other day is the yard side
of another uh not his mother
anyway and and purim
and you base nissan is is his father so
he had for my mormon prepared
that hasidim should learn for these four
special occasions
that mimer your track begins with
basilagani
and in that miner it's interesting he
speaks about a person doesn't know
how long they will live and that travis
the mimer came from the print house
friday afternoon
the rebber who was in charge of kahus
and printing brought it to the previous
rebbe
and that shot this morning the previous
ever passed away what did you talk about
in the 11th chapter there's 20 isis
and each year the rebel would say a full
mimer on one of the icy as one of the
chapters
so so um this year
2021 tough shrimp would be in the cycle
of learning basilangani the 11th chapter
and what does he talk about nexac
that a king in order to be victorious in
war
he needs foot soldiers and he's willing
to squander
um he he's willing to squander his
treasures
that he never opened up and ever looked
at that were given to him and left from
generation generation from
his ancestors but it comes a point
where if he he wants to be victorious
and if he doesn't open his treasures
he might not so he squanders that
and and he's willing to give up
everything including his own life
for victory and the rebel the previous
rebbe and our rebbe elaborates on this
thought that
the kayak of
you know some of you had your sons or
maybe
grandsons or in the army and i was
thinking about this yesterday
what drives a soldier in the army
it's their dedication to the cause
if you don't have the dedication to the
course you're going to be a draft dodger
not today tomorrow if not tomorrow later
and what's the cause hashem should be
victorious
godliness should prevail in the world
and that drives you
and that drives you that you're willing
and let's let's call it let's call up
let's say the way it is you're willing
to go out to the front even if it means
you might be killed
i mean let you know we could we could
live in theory
but a real soldier knows that he could
be killed
but he's willing to do it for the course
this that ever says in ruchniyas
the media of endurance the media of
endurance of
is so powerful that you'll do anything
for it
and if you stop for a moment and think
it's true this way also
in the negative a person who has to be
the bottom line that the victor you know
will do anything okay
some say la havdel you know trump has
that element you know obviously hashem
is even greater than that because the
essence is even greater than nets
but victory drives a person endurance
so that flee the caleb and this mimer
talks about
the names there are seven holy names of
hashem
one of them is civils and it's actually
from
tanakh hana over there
so army sets
so this mimer in this chapter this year
and if you haven't yet
learned it please do read it it's a it's
a lot of deep things but get to the
the meet that's over what do we want
when it's over
and especially narcissist where the boys
and the girls they're in the travel
it's not a joke you know in the army
and and um what's going on over here
and i think if we open this up
and talk about it to those youngsters
those people that were in the army are
in the army going to the army
to understand what the purpose
why are you going to the army there's a
purpose here
i'm yisrael heritage's role
terrace israel otherwise
why would you go and risk being killed
are you out of your mind
you're doing it because there's a higher
cause and purpose
so if you go go to the army
but go with a purpose and if you go with
a purpose
you'll come out bishleimut to come out
fine
and so this is discussed in this year's
chapter and i wanted to mention
it so we don't get you know
it's nice to hear the history and and
everything else it's fascinating
but we have to know that the mimer
basilangani
is a mimer that by the rebbe
i heard from rabbi hurston of morristown
he would fight brain with us once a year
only once a year on youtube and he said
that rabbi khadak of his superior
the rep is close as secretary told him
that by the rebbe the calendar changes
every huge fact
by most people is rosh hashanah for some
people
it's it's it's january first and by the
lubavitcher
his calendar begins youtube a deep
insight that's a deep
insight you know why because
and i see a question here about
succession
and uh you know the bavitch and chabad
basically
lubavitch is the name of the city in
which our movement
was a hundred and two years from 1812 or
so
1813 until 1916. or so
so that's why we became known as the
lubavitcher
because this little village a real
little village
with lots of mud and dirt
and even today you could go there and
you'll feel like you're in the barbecue
a hundred years ago so it was called
lubavitch la babbage
see them but the philosophy is kahmabina
das
so really khabad and lubavitch are
synonymous but one is about the
philosophy and one's about the locale
and as far as the succession issue it's
a long discussion
it's not for now but what i could tell
you is
that
if you understand if you learn and we're
learning
we're learning every day i see this and
we need more people to learn to see this
if you literally see this amok see this
these things fall into place they just
fall into place
how do they fall into place because
because you become sensitized to another
reality and that's what that's the
purpose
of muslims and traitor
that our paradigm should not be the
gospels
our paradigm should be and if you live
with
ruchmius and and to live with ruknias is
a daily job
it doesn't happen oh for 10 years i was
davening and what happened the next
year you took a hiatus and you went to
play golf
no that means you really weren't
governing you were doing the job
and we've been learning this in the
memoriam of the different obey him
and you know now you we've tasted now
pretty much we're almost finished
gunther
mine we learned so much of the rashaab
and you see
how he approaches it and we learned to
free the crab and we've tasted it from
the rebels so and the altered
tanya so the the idea
of succession is a real one
it's not one that that you know you can
fantasize
it's a real one at the same time it has
to be
real within the system that you're
working with
not real within a second system because
it doesn't work
you see if you if you
identify with a certain system and you
want that system to work you need to
know
the ethos and mechanics of that system
and if you
don't know them then ask then then just
say well just let's
you know just take someone who's learned
and who
seems holy and will appoint him to be a
rebel it doesn't work that way
it does not work that way because it
won't work not in our system
it works in many other groups it's true
but in the profit system the guy would
go
flying a week after he would it would be
a joke
okay there's a system here and just like
robbie guerrari who was a great man
and a a special man but
when it came to appointing a rapper
oh that's someone who can look who sees
you in the summer
someone could tell you you belong in
wyoming or you belong to japan
you know the the famous story with the
um
the uh the uh chaplin what's his name
the chaplain it was it's online you know
he was um what's his name osha okay what
cocaire thank you marvin to care he's a
newly married man
he goes to the river for a blessing and
the rebels says they need a chaplain in
in
in osaka if i forget
somewhere he says rapper i just got
married
the river says consider it it's a good
idea
they need someone like you you'll make a
difference
he says somehow he listens he doesn't
know how but he listened
and he was there for 20 30 years and he
saw that what the rebbe said
is correct he made a very big difference
you know
for someone to take the responsibility
to tell you as a newly married man
go across the world leave everything
behind
it only can be understood
if you believe in neshama er
that your nishaman needs this
in other words and you will have a good
life if you
follow what you need wants excuse me
not what your body needs because your
body
what am i going to go there it's uh it's
ridiculous
so this type of a person doesn't come
just by putting up someone
to be a pinch hitter it does not work
but that's our system i'm not saying
that's every sister
you know i remember hearing there was a
yid
in in los angeles for barrel wise i've
told you about him shmuel and i
knew him a very big philanthropist from
hungary
and a real old style he'd
and he contacted here in borough park
a young man from a from a rubbish a
family
who who i think he was involved with
in europe the cousin the rottenberg
family the
they were called the customer rabbis
and one of the derivatives and he said
listen i'm going to pay
for everything i'm going to buy you a
house
and open a basement and get you your
strimo
and your package and everything and
i
you need to do one thing i'm gonna send
you tapes
somehow recordings of your grandfather
you have to listen to this
and get to know the script and the songs
and the tune
and open shop and that's what happened
and that's just what that that was
robbie rottenburg
i'm not sure if it was rotten but maybe
someone else i don't remember
no i'll tell you why because i used to
diving by the customer versus
brooklyn and his name was ruby
rottenberg you mean in borough park
no no an avenue r 27 i don't know so
maybe it's a brother i don't know
but anyway so
what i'm saying is that this issue
of you know succession
in the chabad system doesn't what barrel
wise did
will never work in chabad i don't care
how much money you have
it it won't get anywhere okay now
i'm not saying you could just you know
one can say well you guys are wrong
no problem but i'm telling you what the
system is
you don't have to belong to the system
you don't have to like the system but
this is the system
so in this system we look for someone of
that
quality and we look for someone who
a rebber before you hear this another
point
a rhetoric four indicates indicates
hints to
someone being the next leader
and our rabbi did not do that
okay anyone tells your stories of
baroque
schneiderson of tribin he it's all
baloney stories times two
okay it's nonsense the rabbit did not
indicate you know why he didn't indicate
because he looked at himself as a shleak
of the previous rebbe
and basically like he told rabbi yalas
of philadelphia
in 1984 and it's printed i believe
on rabbi yalas who was from the previous
rep his
friends and became the rebbe's friend of
course
and just like is almost you know
dialogued with the rabbit his way rabbi
yalas with his tribal and his geckos
opened his mouth and he said to the
ribber
he says what is going to be after 120
years of your life
right today thank you
so so the rabbit said
became very serious
and he said was viltrier for me
what do you want from me go to my
father-in-law
gateshead fair and the rebbe's words are
consistent
with his 42 years of father-in-law
father-in-law father-in-law he never
looked at himself as i
am and i make these decisions
which we know he did but it was all
coming from
i'm appointed by my father-in-law when
hashem
takes him it's my father-in-law's issue
not mine now again you'll say this is
not
logical it is or it isn't
that's the reality that's that's a fact
okay now of course the argument to that
is that you know not the argument or the
rabbi believes so much to mashiach
will come and then the previous rebel
will come back with everyone else
and we'll work it out whatever you're
going to say
but that's the mathias atvorim what the
rabbit did say avi
and he said this since the rabbits
passing in 1988
the rebels said that every
hosset should find rabbonim
and mashpeem and and get the get their
opinion
on matters dealing with all issues of
life from the physical to the spiritual
and i remember hearing that scene i
wasn't there
i was in california and i heard about
the secret then read it and then maybe i
heard it during the weekend
on a recording and he was repeating this
over and over and over and i was
wondering
rabbit why why are you being so
repetitious you know
now i understand why because a lot of
people
they play around with this they don't
take it seriously
you know meaning that when you have a
question
especially if it's a life question you
should go to three
three rep on them or three must be him
or three friends or three businessmen
and based on what they tell you that's
what you should do
now you should walk away from saying oh
i got your opinion now and i'll make my
own decision
then you're not following the the rebels
advice that's the truth
you're not that what are you you don't
really have a rabbit you don't you don't
identify you're basically making your
own decision
you hear from others opinions it's not
about opinions here
if you want the kayak toyota vis-a-vis
this particular
sadik the river to help you
and your avoid this hashem and
everything else then listen to his
advice
and this was the advice that he gave so
of course it's much easier to see
a physical person and to hear a physical
person
but you know there's so much writing
from the rebels so much torah
and today there's so much videos in any
language
that if a person really wants to know
what the rebbe's opinion is and wants to
live with that and wants to make that
part of the reality they can
but let's call a spade a spade a lot of
us and a lot of times we don't want to
from the biggest we don't want to
hey there's an expression and shabbos
for zika lane
he makes his own sabbath you know hey
i can sit in brooklyn in ramat pachamish
on the screen the best of both worlds
see all the videos
and you know even have an inspiration
and then do whatever
who's gonna know which taste
that's why when you we need to learn to
see this when you learn to see this and
you
see this opens your eyes to what the
reality is
then to yourself you say i have to make
a change i have to make a move
because you know it's talking to me
there's an expression of the rabbi
rashad listen to this expression
that the out there with hasidis
brought a person face to face with god
that's what say this is bringing us face
to face with hashem
and when you're face to face with hashem
you can't lie
because you will melt you're face to
face with hashem
the altered
gave a yid the ability to be face to
face with hashem
and automatically to be honest and
truthful
so the high end should help that on this
great day youtube
i want to suggest as an end to this
vibranium
something very practical and real and i
i
say that as an introduction because i
shared this with my
wife and she says well this is a heart
akhlata
and this is the this is my resolution
and my suggestion for all of you
by next year yucha if mashiach
shalom doesn't come everyone here should
have
70 new people that they've introduced
to chabad hasidis in one way or the
other
whether it's through a whatsapp group
through a phone call
through an email through a text
and today with social media i think this
is
very easy it's not i'm not saying to
make 70 volunteers
you know halawa how levi we could go out
and make 70 bali shiva by next year
not saying that but 70 contacts
and you should keep a ledger and every
month you should look at your ledger and
see how many new people not
the people you know you know from ace
coders moshe's the gaba he knows a lot
of people wonderful
now what about 70 new people that he
doesn't know yet
and he speaks to them ernie sends them
an email he shares a video
and they respond that's already a
relationship
and it's a relationship that's important
especially today with covet people are
locked up people are down
and everything else so that's my
suggested
resolution help yourself and help
me and help package barracuda do this
because last night at this fabregan that
i led in crown heights
there were a few lakewood boys that came
they'd come
they came for shabbos they you know they
they know you trot by la babbage it's a
special day
so they walked into the fabregas i had
him sit next to me and we were talking
for bringing
and i said you know i'd like everyone i
said the same thing to the people there
i want everyone to consider giving the
rebbe
70 new contacts 70 new right
so one of the boys i turned to him i
said did you hear what i said he says
yes he says
what what do you mean what do you mean
give the rebel
give hashem seven what am i giving
like talk you know a very
different way of approaching and
thinking not not a laboratory boy
and i started to explain to him i told
him we have to talk more
and someone else said in the chabad
we don't just mooch from the rabbit we
give
you give akadesh baruch you don't just
take
in general the whole idea of taking was
vulgar was disgusting what taking who
who are you to take
but to give oh
to give those questions what do you mean
given the person who's passed on
we have to talk about it but the idea is
if you really honor the the red business
shaman
that it's 70 years later go into the
71st year
bring him a gift bring the kaddish barco
a gift
vis-a-vis this particular exotic in this
situation
so that's my humble if you have another
suggestion another idea do it
but i think it's something that's
attainable and
if you do it with a husband you keep a
ledger because if you just
i'm going to do it and then you wake up
a month before next huge fact
and you say wait a minute i didn't do
any of it i did very little you know
but if you keep a husband you keep a
little note on your computer on your
phone
or a pad and you know every friday
i send out between five to ten texts or
whatsapp to people around the country
that i know for years
and i just say to them two words or
three words great shabbos
good shabbos zygesund
and like there's there's nothing much in
my few words
almost everyone responds thanks rabbi
indeed you too
it takes how long does it take minutes
minutes to do that you're telling me
even
on a friday you don't have three four
five minutes to do that you do
but you gotta think about that so
everyone should
really introduce people to to see this
especially in bachelors where you all
are
yaakov's in chicago but you know
as i say i was there people are open to
see this
it doesn't mean they're becoming
lubavitcher and nor should that be the
thinking we're not here
into making people laboratory we're here
to exposing
and expressing through a wonderful
system of of learning in this case
siddhis
and when people will see this i'm
telling you they'll find
more flemish
and it's a whole different it's a whole
different experience
so you'll be doing them a favor if you
expose them to cedars and again i'm not
saying they have to be on our
uh the middle of the day and they're
working can't
but like i told you this if i'm from
rabbi melinda woods a little shalom shul
this person contacted me started to
learn tania
like right i was there three years ago
and melinda was made a whole storm about
it
and he said millennials told me at the
time to to learn that that
time you're learning your whatever
it didn't work out to me and now he's
seriously learning about
because he's learning and it's going to
help his nusrama
it's going to help his family so
don't don't walk away from this fabric
saying oh rabbi dolphin arabic pharaoh
and a few others you you are the rabbi
you're the shlokrim you're the rebels
people you were the rapper
and it's your job it's our job every one
of us
and and there's so many people that
moshe you know so many people from your
work
that we don't know and only you
can can make an impact on them i can't
because i don't know them and you have a
certain relationship with them and same
with yaakov and stay with you
and say with your innocence right you
your mama's
in and you're there now to throw with
all the freedom of eden
i'm saying where you live right and all
the nonsense and all the arguments
put aside don't get involved don't get
involved
in the babbage and rebels alive rep is
dead
don't get involved with any of that
stuff just discard it look
let's let's see this take a look at a
video
forget about mr gas you're not here for
that
don't engage in that conversation
because as soon as you engage in the
conversation you've lost
you've lost their respect you know
yes there's a time when we're going to
dialogue and debate a certain issue
today
okay there's a time for that but even
then you need to be the right person and
you need to have the right information
and you need to be sensitive it's it's a
whole it's a whole different
but for the average person it's not that
way anyway heaven i want to end
and wish everyone that the all the
brothers i haven't gone yet
oil i have your information with hashem
well we'll mention
[Music]
for claudius role they should bring only
good things and broca's and each and
every one of us should be blessed
with the number one good health
you need we need our health good health
and number two
with parnosa and number three what
should do him and number four with
us from children grandchildren
and ultimately the ultimate bra is
mashiach should come
not in a fantasy way but in a real way
where there'll be an end to all that
soros
and will have only simcha and this
will come back and will really be
will be truly together and what does it
mean to be together
just to be together not
this russia and this thing and this just
to be together
jews being together and
just failing felling about being
together
the kind
we're almost going to help this week to
finish the country mayan
so join us and everyone should have a
great day zad kazood
bye bye thank you yeah you're welcome
