Zalman Moshe's words to R' Dubinsky as a 11 yr old boy, 1940, Good friend of R' Yoel- RC Dalfin

This is a tribute to Raort Mut Dubinski who passed away a few days ago. So I interviewed him probably 10 to 15 years ago about Rabo Khan, his good childhood friend from Tel Aviv. But I want to tell you something about that happened with him in 1940 that Rabio told me even though he didn't tell me who it was with but later I found out who it was with actually he did say the name Mut but he you you'll hear the story. Okay. So there was a famous zmani he was the father-in-law of tisen raayor and he was at the Neville and we've spoken about him and I recorded his uh I was there this past year and he is a icon in the world of labavich because of his discussion was his connection to the Raim and his passion and his fire, his shar kite, his his his wittiness and his kite, the medal futafas who adopted him as like his official mashpia kind of told me also about him about his sim. Anyway, this video is not about him, but Ra Mut's father Mosha Dubinski, famous who was from Yakinislov and who was a childhood friend also of the Rebas was a uh makab they say of Rebosha. Anyway, when the Mutle was 10 years old or so n 10 11 1939 1940 because he was born in 1929 he was 6 months older. The mut was about 6 months older than a buoy 8 months older. He was born in I think March no May of uh 1929 or so and was born in January of 1930. Anyway, so when when Mut was 10, 11 years old one day calls him over. It was after he he dabbed and he used to dab and with great devotion and his bunos and he says, "Kuma, come here. Ma, come here." And he says, "And he had two little cups, two keshikes, which we call them, little cups, shot glasses." And he and M pours him and him. And he says, "Mut, you understand there's nothing besides God." And he says it with an a very serious face, flamy fire after he davened and he became so ecstatic about Hashem, about God. And he said those words and he said made a and said and asked M to I don't know if M saidim or or not it was he was a little boy and it was vodka maybe maybe he didn't but the point is that he he he included him in this experience mut was a friend of Rio so he told yel about it yik used to call him yoik or And always repeated this story that here in after his davening it's anoid and he he needs to and wants to express it. So he calls over a little boy 10 years 11 years old. What does he know? He's so so little so young and he says it to him. In other words, he he wants to impress not only on the on the boy but in the in the world. He wants to that those those ideas and that idea of there's nothing besides God that resonated with him while he prayed while he meditated while he dabbed should be expressed. So what's the difference if it's a bigid or a little young boy? And this would always repeat the story. I heard it from him several times. And it seems to me that he it made a very big impact. And who wasn't the person who the boy in the story it was his good friend Mut Dubinski. So this mut passed away. He was 96 years old. you talk I I I just want to bring you into his world. This is the world that he grew up with. During my interview with him, several things became clear to me and I want to share one or two of them. And that is I asked them about the culture of the time 19 I think they came to in 1935 1935 to 1947 48 47 I think they left or 48 they left to America the Dupinskies and you know their brook and what he said to me was that all the boys in the class the geraris and Nuri Ben Shakar and M Deinsky Abel Khan and and and others even some not Labavature boys who were in the class because it was just it was for everybody even though it was a mim in Tel Aviv and that yeshiva. He said that the atmosphere was of a of a serious nature and a shamaya nature and he gave me an example. He said when when they worked filling they were careful not to speak out with fill. These are young boys 13 14 years old. And he brought me into the world of Tel Aviv aim 1940 you know 43 44 45 46 those years. And I and I began to understand where these most of them already passed away. What they grew up with, what their mindset was was with how did they function in a in a new world coming from Russia to with all the difficulties and finally getting there and poverty was rampant. Poverty was rampant by these people by these like everyone else. very bad poverty and yet and yet they were learning full-fledged and andis and but he said there was a I'm not going to use the word elitism not elitism the word is there was a sophistication maybe a reverence in the in the atmosphere and he said this trickled down later on in their life each and every one of them was this way and I could tell you for knowing and then Minsky and and some others I I see that commonality he's right I see it in each and every one of those Lurman Abel Lurman was another one Binski and Yosul Bzinski these are all Tel Aivians or Amad Ganins you know and all all were in this yeshiva so that's another thing that I share And finally, he was so careful and he he edited the the the interview. Usually when I interview someone, they don't follow up, you know, and and you know, I have it recorded and that's the way it is. But he was so precise and he didn't want it to go out to be publicized. He told me I could publicize it, but it should be publicized properly. And properly means he wants to review every word. And he did. And with Hashem's help, I'll one day sooner than later publicize it. And especially because it was about his good friend Rabo Khan. He did he was so careful with what he said. He told me about their childhood. He says they you know they used to play ball. I guess kadal soccer whatever wanted to play too. And he told me different different things of children. You know, sometimes you think it's it's childish and immatur and and babyish and immature, you know, ridiculous, but but not not the way a repeated it. The way he repeated it was it was a serious experience. And I would say he he he he spoke that way and his demeanor was that way. So although I can't say I knew him as well as I knew Abu but he definitely left an indelible impression that that being aid and from the lineage that he came he came to America early on during the time of the freed the previous and then into the Reb's leadership and he worked in education for most of his life. and he he has wonderful children and some of which I know it's uh it's it's it's a special thing and now returns together and his father so for now. Amen.
