welcome to our program where we talk
about history and occurrences that are
relevant to us as eden
as hasidim
and next week hashem tuesday is your
test kislev
i say that with all pride because
felt very comfortable
acknowledging that when they were
asked or rather when
they were complained to
i believe in 1906 or all seven
that
the labor should see them
have a new register
and we spoke about that last year i
believe or two years ago i don't recall
anyway
i want to talk about
rabbi oil's fabregan
rajashara knight
lael you test kisly so it'd be i guess
monday night is coming monday night
but i want to talk about it
in the context
not just of an experience that i
was privileged to be at many times
but the broader implement
implication
of that experience
so
for the record you test kislev of course
the day when the altered the balatanya
was released from his imprisonment
and he was ratted on he was informed
by the miss not them
today the rebbe has
told us and tells us there's no snogden
there's only lit fisher
lit fox
but then the woman snagged them people
who opposed hasidis vehemently
and they they accused him of helping the
turkish government that the altar is
helping sending money to to the turks
and to fight the tsar and all of that
but of course the way our abaya saw it
from the altar and this was a decree
from heaven
why he's publicizing
such
spiritual mystical teachings hasidism
to the average man
and when the alternate was vindicated
this proved
that from on hive that i
got almighty said
you're right in what you're doing and
not only should you continue teaching
but publicize it even more
and hence
the
the publicity and the teaching of
hasidis
from
1799 on
was much greater
and each generation with the the next
rebbe that
functioned as allah including our but
the seven generations the hasidis
teachings have been
brought to the average person with all
its depth and intensity
and experience
so this was an overall message that for
200 years chabad has been celebrating
in my time without it was on ocean
parkway between h avenue h and avenue i
from eight to eleven if i bring for the
younger classes and then technically we
had to leave
and then he would fabriang for the uh
the
bakkerim
from 11 till seven in the morning
but of course some of us you know snuck
snuck in and we didn't go to sleep and
we were privileged to be at those
fabregas
in addition to that many people from the
community not mostly not chabad people
came to fabregas from borough park in
williamsburg
and i call i recall people today who
have entire lubavitcher families
coming into those fabregas
that night of yuta's quesadilla rabiot
took a lot of moshkin
but he took it you know
in between talks and iguni
so sitting from eight to seven which is
11 hours
you know it didn't it didn't knock him
out completely but he was
open he was open
i remember he cried a lot many times
and his nakuda his theme
that he focused on
every year
was the idea of
bitter
subservience to the abster
and subservience to that
that was the theme
that we
have no
independence
outside of god
our entire independence is because of
hashem and the rabbi that sadik as the
moisture the intermediate
between akadesh baruch and banaya israel
filters that to us and hence
we need to have that bitter that
subservience to him
to explain this each year he used
another story that he focused on for
example one year he spoke about the fact
that hasidam would say
meshiach will be a muslim
right what's going to be
so the alternative system said there'll
be
why
because he's a three-piece of hasid
that's not they won't follow him but if
he's not it the city will follow him
anyway because they have that bittle
they have that subservience
but he took that apart and he explained
that what is a husset what is it
what what does it mean within yourself
and yes we say
it was rich it was wealthy
it was gervaldic
right another year i remember he spoke
about
i think that uh that they say that when
she will come say but
in the gazette
it will be in the papers i think he
spoke about it one year what does that
mean
and so he took
he used another you mentioned the story
of the the altar ebber wanting to leave
the market and he stayed because his his
um shaw was left there as a famous
secretary of the frederick i think
bayley's listening to his
and he took that apart he really
analyzed it
sitting at those fabregas as an 18 year
old
17 18 year old booker
student
and then later older
and the and those that were even older
there must have been 150 people in the
room
it created
an
an ambiance
of siddhis kite of hasidism
and that's the lesson that we need today
and that's what the
and the khabad shoes and the rabbis and
those that are not khabar that are
making are going to make fabregas next
week on youtube
you need to create an ambiance with the
people
talking about ambiance just historically
how do they celebrate you test kiss live
in america in the 1910s 20s and thirties
let me tell you a few places
when rabbi jacobson came and began
jacobs and came to america in 1926
the following yutas kislev which was
still 1926. kislyak is 29-26
the president of the school
invited him to a restaurant because they
sent out invitations and they invited
all the shoe members to celebrate utes
kiss live with a great
feast with meat
and and fish
and drinks
in a restaurant
i can't imagine how a kosher restaurant
looked at that time but
for those days it was considered a
luxury
robert jacobson says that he told the
president he's not coming
he cannot get himself to celebrate you
just live in a restaurant
the next year he says after he already
trained his congregants what it what it
means to be a hussain and all that
they they they agreed actually not the
next year the next few years later he
says they agreed to transfer the utes
kislev restaurant
party
for bringing
meal
to his house
but just imagine
how beautiful not how beautiful that the
feeling is oh
and this yid said like this
the yid who was the president was a
great great son great great grandson
of the barack
obama
and he said that he heard in his aydah's
name that whoever will celebrate
yutesque sliv
will see nakas from his children and
grandchildren of future generations
and that was very important to him and
to others at the time of course because
children were going away from yiddish
kite it was america it was the melting
pot
1920s
so he wanted to make sure that that that
he has a school a remedy so he made such
a fabrega in a restaurant
a simple yid
who i think to begin with he wasn't from
and then he became more from azerbaijan
became the rabbi and taught him and was
makar of him
and he came together from the chabad
lineage
what brought him close the fact that he
made you this gizmo of a fabregan in a
restaurant
and why
because his great-great-grandfather said
that that's the way to protect your
children from assimilating
beautiful
i it's not the way
today we celebrate this gifts live
but that's where they were coming from
and the lesson is outstanding the lesson
is that
we need to celebrate this kiss live even
if sometimes it's not exactly
the way you think it should be
make turn it into a yuta's kiss
in a restaurant
in kansas city they celebrated in the
forties
in the cabacho of nusa harishul
in boston all over there were utes
kislev
parties i don't know they didn't call
them fabregas they called them parties
in 1924 that michelin cramer
who was the first president of akudis
when it's felt when it started in 1924
he called and and he sent around a
letter to all the nusa harishuls in the
greater new york tri-state area they
came from passaic and they came from
here they came from there
to have us to make he was making us see
him ashas
and
there were 200 people this is written in
his memoirs that was written by the
bianca the bank of mark
and there's details
and it's fascinating to read how
how
1924 when he says there
he says there that
not like by others where they don't
celebrate gemura
we the barbecue see them we definitely
make asiya masha's and we learned the
murder
i mean jacobson writes in his in his
in his
memoirs that
he didn't really know much siddhis
so for him it was you know he was what's
called a hasid of the
of the ritual text of the prayer of the
siddharth
what did he learn most of the time
that's fine
halawa we should learn gemara
lots of goomer i don't mean
that's the way they celebrated
in the noosah rishol a 184 henry street
in manhattan the lower east side
what we see from all this is
that utes kislev
is shyak
not just it's it's relevant and not just
the chabad but to nakhla it belongs to
everybody
so rabbi said we have
five we have several days left for you
to kiss live let's make a storm
that i've always said the word storm
make lots of noise make a storm
storm the world that you just kiss live
is coming
wake up
the feeling should be how can we go to
sleep this coming monday night
whether you end up going to sleep or not
that's another that's another issue but
your desire and will is i must find
myself out of her brain
and not go away after an hour but just
sit and sit and sit and if you don't
like what the speaker's saying
say look
and
make it happen
don't be passive
be active
should help
the great yamchav of utes kislev when we
celebrate what akadeshvarjo gave us
to see this
which is literally the lifeline
to living life
see this is the lifeline to living life
without see this
it's a problem
without see this
we can we we are like dry
fish without water
we need to see this
in the study of cds in the ways and
behaviors of siddhis
that we should be saying to the ghoulish
lama with mashiach's coming we'll see
the altareb and all that him
a man of the army
