foreign
myself
of the story
where the rubber
honestly
obliterated and told
the people involved with preparing this
Shapiro and others but this this was
related by Mabel Shapiro there a few of
Miami Shiva
helps everyone except
those that rebelled against him and
didn't want his help and under the
contrary they kind they they bad-mouthed
them they went against him I I'm
paraphrasing it
this was a hero this was a lesson that
they ever took from that Rashi I'm not
going into the particular Sprinter
already and you could look it up
but in the sikha when it came out as an
edited version
of the talk that he gave on Shabbos
and Rabbi Shapiro wrote it up the way
that it was said it
that have been told them we sort of to
burn to burn what he wrote it should not
be in writing it shouldn't be in writing
and and it shouldn't be said
and and he was perplexed he was puzzled
you said it at fabregan
didn't want to have any
any memory in writing
that he said that there's a Jew
won't help if that shoe Rebels against
me should have been
you the Babbage had ever said it that
ever said
Shapiro regardless I don't want it in
writing and the and the and the paper
that you wrote you wrote down the as I
said it and the way you remember it
burned the paper
it's Kimble Thomas next Thursday
strappers yard site
it's a time to reflect
on
everything about him and particularly
those messages and lessons that are
Eternal which is
so important for us as Eden as Jews
and I would say that this is
it's not the fee most important one of
the most important lessons that we take
and we live with as we prepare
for gimbal Thomas
there's no Jew left behind
even a Jew
who is a sinner
even a Jew who spits in The Rabbit's
face we see throughout his years as Reba
he put up with all kinds of people
people who backstabbed them people who
did all kinds of things who spoke
against him
and he never ever not once had a
personal Vendetta against that
individual
he did object to many things that he
felt were either against not the right
way to go about it and he voiced his
opinion and it was a legitimate
disagreement it was a Torah sanctioned
disagreement
but to have a personal Vendetta
absolutely not
and I remind myself of another story
where some the Liberty she even needed
funds here in Brooklyn so the 70s needed
to pay the salaries
and they came to a certain
philanthropist
and he said he doesn't want to give them
the funds or give he doesn't want to pay
everyone's salary because certain people
there
have may object to certain things that
uh other individuals do
so philosophically he doesn't want to
support that
and he's but before he made his decision
he said he wants to ask my father-in-law
that probably
if he shouldn't if if he should if she
shouldn't give the funds to those people
though to pay their salaries
and my father said my father almost said
what
we grew up together in Yeshiva
you're going to cut cut off his paranasa
his livelihood because of a
philosophical
disagreement absolutely you should give
him the money and he did he listened
and that to me is the epitome of Chabad
of hasidis of being a yeed
and that
never enters his consciousness
for a moment
to be against those that rebelled
against him
this is also an explanation some have
wondered uh you must have heard that uh
my book on Zama schachter came out it's
called the real Zalman it's available on
my website www Rabbi daussian
d-a-l-f-i-n.com there's a sale now till
the 25th of June
and some have asked me you know why are
you writing about zalmershecter if he
kind of left the Babbage or was told to
leave Lubavitch and then he he got into
this Jewish renewal which you know which
has you know
things that are against
so I said hey I didn't write about
Jewish renewal B I wrote about his
cashier's connection to the Philippa in
the lab in the early days the 1940s and
50s
and c and most importantly is
wanted that we should speak positively
about people after they've passed on
that's a ticking approval for their
nishama
by the way in the book and you know in
some great detail I show how
over the years not just the last time
that he ended up to saw each other in
1991 by dollars when the rabbit told him
to do birkus throughout the month of
tishray
but from the 50s and the 60s and 70s
even in the time when he was very much
involved in The Counter Culture movement
in the 60s and 70s
and then with his Jewish renewal and all
that that ever asked about how he's
doing and Abra said he doesn't really
know and the devil said how can it be a
fellow tomim a fellow cover you don't
know what's going on by him
to look after him to find out what's
going on and so other times and I put
that all in the book
my point is that let's not be more halik
more from than the rep if the rabbit can
can forgive
we can forgive and you know why the
devil can forgive because to begin with
he sees the nashama
it doesn't mean to say that that ever or
we should justify things that are
against Allah but
that's one aspect there's a person
a kind of the person
and you bring more kiddo to the person
and the more you bring kiddos trust me
the person realizes slowly their mistake
and this was also seen in Salman's life
where the schlier in Colorado told me in
Boulder where he lived the last 19 years
of his life how he gravitated more to
the Chabad house and he you know he was
he was in the saging years his Elder
years and he calmed down and and
um he really missed
the 770 you know lifestyle of the 40s
50s and and and that was a large part of
our conversation so again I I don't want
you to walk away saying that you know
I'm a husted of Salman and things like
that absolutely not
and one last point and this is a lesson
for the Youth and the future Generations
and it's in between the lines in my book
and it's worth reading as we read about
his greater family and different things
in a respectful way but nevertheless
when you choose a certain path
you set yourself up for whatever comes
along with it there's no way way around
it
I said young people must know if they
want to engage
in activities and behaviors and
philosophies that are outside the pale
of traditional
foreign
the results will be that way
if you want to be within the confines of
of of the normal tradition the results
will be that way
and there's no secrets here there's no
unknowns
are there exceptions to these rules that
I just mentioned absolutely
God almighty
this is all being an all-powerful and
could do anything whenever whenever he
decides on what he decides but
nevertheless
the the trajectory that he puts man on
and puts a yidan in the normal way in
the normal day-to-day way is a a Masada
a tradition and this is our tradition to
be makusher to be bound to our River who
is
between you and God is
the intermediary that the Nasi who who
brings and reveals the nisham of every
single year regardless if it's Chabad Le
babish religious not religious
rebellious or not rebellious even
rebelling against the Nazi even again
and he gives them life force and
sustains him and accesses the brochus
Hashem so I encourage you it's a week
left to learn some of the representative
his letters his memory
to prepare yourself to write a a
petition note called a pan to either go
to the oil three days before Thomas
three days after if you can't get there
to send it to put it into one of his
for him and to send it to the oil this
is what he instructs regarding his
father-in-law and David helped that we
will have gaullah and we will have peace
on Mason that's not a question that's a
given
the question is whether
we will be zeiga we will Merit to be
part of it and the devil says we will
because with the last generation of
goals and the first generation of sham
helps
that have been Cults of the element
should experience mashiach now take
