Afraan is zaneka today
kaneka is the eighth day the last day of
kaneka
in many many holy sin books it says
[snorts] how important this day is in a
way it's the culmination of the entire
month of tish of the high holy days so I
want to share with you WHAT HAPPENED
TODAY 48 YEARS ago
in the lab in ocean parkway I was in
12th grade in high school at 4:00 in the
afternoon. Someone runs into the to the
to the classroom. Mr. Banner was our
teacher at the time and he says, "The
Reb is making a habbran very soon.
We all picked our picked our coats up,
our books put away, AND WE JUST RAN OUT.
I don't even know if we put away the
books and we got on the train. We went
to Kron Heights. A surprise for bringing
it." This was after the Reb had his
heart attack the past
which was still 1977 now it was already
I believe and um
this was kind of what seemed to be to us
a thanksgiving meal aud's
cure from his massive heart attack
because earlier that date earlier today
for on the same like it was a Monday I
believe Yeah,
the Reb called in Rabbi Jacob Yehud J
and and said to him either he asked him
could you be a Bod you can keep a secret
or you are a or you can keep a secret
and I would like to make a fabangan and
wash on an kala bread and uh said okay
so those was indicating to him asking
him if he can get some bread for the
fabbrangan
said fine he'll keep the secret But his
son Shiman, my friend who at the time
was learning in Morristown, he said,
"Could I tell my son Shiman about this
Fabangan?" Because if takes an hour, an
hour and a half to get from Marstown to
to Brooklyn and if he only lets him know
at 4:00 or 4:15, whenever, you know,
when the Reb starts Fabang or shortly
before that, he'll they'll come in
middle or the end of Fabang. And the Reb
said, "Yes, whatever. Whether we
understand that or not, if you want to
hold a secret, then why tell Shim who's
going to tell his friends and the whole
Yeshiva is going to know. And that's how
the actually that's how everyone found
out about the Fabrean later when it
became known [clears throat and cough]
through uh uh through the Maristan
yeshiva I believe. But anyway
washed and he he was very
and he spoke a lot about the concept of
says you should add to even though in
the the the ruling in in is that it's
praise thanksgiving
means of meat and and wine [snorts] to
have a meal and but the Reb explained
that since the darkness is greater
therefore we did sim and it's kind of an
exception He's he's calling for that
idea and he himself did that. He washed
and then after the fab he made but I
remember like now Mr. Banner he was a
Jew and a very fine Jew. He started to
work at the Shiva I believe in 1946 for
the rashag. He was a secretary for the
rashag and he was standing there. I can
see him standing at the desk and he I
think we were learning math. He was
teaching us math and and all of a sudden
what happened and everyone's running out
or he said he said we say the rebanging
so he already knew he was used to the
boys when the brings we drop everything.
So this was 48 years ago.
These days are not only remembered but
they're actualized
that we live with this fab 48 years ago.
And we and we and we we understand that
this is a a a recipe to overcome the
darkness the the darkness in the world.
The darkness that we had in our own
community with the with the with the
murder and the terrorism in Sydney just
last week. We overcome it with simha
with joy. May everyone go with simha.
Make resolutions to brighten your house
and brighten up others. Learning
