The koch in learning

00:00 L’chaim, l’chaim. L’chaim. That was [unclear]. That was an [unclear] day. You can’t be with a bochur [unclear]. Do you know what happened on that particular day? It was in the yeshiva, because they were traveling from the yeshiva in Kfar Chabad—I think it was that yeshiva. They didn’t leave the yeshiva to make a chossid [unclear] on 12 Tammuz, 19 Kislev. You simply have to [unclear] the bochurim, because while traveling to the Rebbe, traveling to [unclear]. In Kfar Chabad, because there everyone has some [unclear] connection to the Rebbe. You don’t have to leave the yeshiva. 19 Kislev, 12 Tammuz, Yud Shvat. And once—tell me what happened: when they traveled from the yeshiva, they didn’t speak only about the trip, and not only about a Chassidic matter [unclear]; they spoke about new topics. They spoke about the Gemara sugyos they were studying, and about sugyos they were continuing. But when they arrived at the yeshiva, they were already satisfied [unclear], and the bochurim [unclear], and that was all. [unclear] After all, they studied [unclear], studied Mishnayos. That was, that was the spirit in the yeshiva: that was what occupied them [unclear]. They arrived there, and we had been here with the Rebbe. They went to the Rebbe, and so on. After all, there was a sicha about the yeshiva [unclear]. Because the Rebbe is [unclear], and children, bochurim of eighteen, of twenty. What is there here [unclear]? Of course they have a connection to the Rebbe. That [unclear], because it isn’t good to see. Ah, after all, there was a sicha about the yeshiva [unclear]. But that was said only about nigleh.

02:46 But [unclear]. But when they traveled from the yeshiva, they didn’t speak only about the trip, [unclear], and these were new topics. Again [unclear] they spoke. Rebbe, because [unclear]—sorry, to the Rebbe. In the end [unclear]. “I was especially pleased to read [unclear] in his letter about the gathering for pilpul in Torah.” “I was especially pleased.” Not [unclear] the Rebbe. “I was pleased”—the Rebbe, [unclear], but you can see the Rebbe’s pleasure. The Rebbe is a man of truth. “I was especially pleased” really means “I was especially pleased.” And we had the privilege [unclear]. “I was especially pleased to read [unclear] in his letter about the gathering for pilpul in Torah.” It’s there, it’s [unclear]; to this day, that word is associated with [unclear]. The Rebbe, one hour [unclear]. “I was especially pleased”—you can feel the Rebbe. With the Rebbe, there is an “I was pleased” here, “I was pleased”—pleasure, pleasure. A real delight; the Rebbe takes delight in it, and it isn’t only that. Certainly, the Rebbe takes delight in it, but [unclear] the strength of the bochurim is such. Because Chassidus is nigleh. That, that is what needs to be added. Where [unclear]? They study, study, study. [unclear].
