you told this to me
he came here from europe as a child as a
boy of 14 13 or 14 years old and the
laws in those days were that they were
sponsored by the hayas by the american
jewish organizations that placed
refugees immigrants
and they didn't want all the
refugees and immigrants to settle in new
york they were afraid they're going to
get wasted
a little bavitch and a little bubba and
a little sacrament they got that anyway
but they were hoping to avoid it
and they spread them all over the
country
so this person and his family was
situated in philadelphia and at that
time in philadelphia there was a shliya
by pope allah and now there was a young
laboratory boy stuck in philadelphia
because of the rules of the hayas
so he was very excited about helping
ravi popek do his work
so repopek used to ask him to distribute
things for him and so forth so once on a
friday he asked him
to distribute leaflets about a messier
shabbos
and he went from shoulder shoal and put
on leaflets for the mercedes chavez in
those days in philadelphia there were a
number of all the bachelor faced
basically
and so forth there were many many there
used to be hundreds and hundreds of the
bachelors all over the
united states there were no sahari they
were not necessarily
and he walked into one of these schools
and he put down the papers and in el
tarayit an older fellow calls him over
and says what are you doing
he says i'm putting out leaflets a
little babbage is organizing mercedes
shabbos little children who go to public
school are going to get together and so
forth he says show me the piece of paper
so he shows him the the the note he
reads it
and he looks up at him and he makes one
of those
typically russian i can say it i'm
rushing myself
cynical comments
just loved afghanistan you don't
necessarily have to give this out
and for this young lubavitch who just
come from europe
to hear that kind of cynicism that kind
of throwing
ice on his passion and reigning on his
parade you know
lobavich was starting out there was such
enthusiasm such excitement and an old
fellow probably his own children weren't
even from was saying you know this may
not be such a good idea it's a classic
example of a molec
and perhaps this person's intentions
were you know he was an old-timer and he
would hide the sky to him was davening
and avery
whoever heard allah is doing messi
shabbas kind of but it's amalek
nevertheless
and the essence of amulek is his whole
mo his entire purpose is to
take away some of your passion just do
what you're doing don't be so excited
there's the famous mahmet of of amalek
zocher
from 1905 from the rebel ashab which was
of course repeated with extensive
commentary by the priesthood
in 1927 both my mother are now published
and the rebera shop's version is much
shorter
the peterbis rebe's version especially
when it gets to the actual description
of the amolex is far more elaborate and
he describes different amoleks different
techniques one is you see a person who's
excited about judaism and yeah you make
fun of him you call them shallow
simplistic
you know
overly
emotional
and they're all different categories
like the one that stands out in my
memory is a person who says we're
intellectuals we are sophisticated and
deep
and nuanced
inclined or nuanced disposed
sophistication and subtlety and nuance
doesn't allow itself as such passion and
since we study
hasidis and we understand the
intricacies of
the subtlety of
of said and so forth and so on we don't
allow ourselves such excitement that's
amalek too even if it's an amalgam based
on a sophistication and even a
supposedly religious sophistication it's
all a molecule
