0004 - R' Michoel Lipskier Surprise Farbrengen

00:02 It was Rishchei Deshnitz and Tovshon Chof Tess. So Michael Lipsker, who used to be the Shliach in Morocco, I think by then already he was not there anymore, but he was the Shliach of Morocco before. So through him, from the Mesed, all of Yesev Yitzchak in the city of Meknes in Morocco, they sent a Sefer Torah to the Rebbe. And he brought the Sefer Torah into the Rebbe in the morning. The Rebbe came for Kiris HaTorah, so he brought the Sefer Torah into the Rebbe. The Rebbe accepted the Sefer Torah, told him Ayyash Keach, and told him Chamla Moreh Temus Li Shakia. And then the Rebbe came into, took the Sefer Torah and brought it into the Doron Kadesh by the minyan upstairs. After davening, the Rebbe gave over that Michael Lipsker should sit down and make a little fabringen and tell over what's going on in Morocco. So Michael Lipsker went to the table that's opposite where the Rebbe sat, opposite Doron Kadesh, closer to the wall of Merkaz, of Masquerades. And he sat down there, and a few people sat down and took out a little bottle of mashke and little small kevliskes, a mashke and poured people kevliskes, and they started like a shtick of fabringen. And I remember I was standing by my table where I davened, which is by the wall, by the window to the Cheider Sheini, by the door, close to the door of the Cheider Sheini. I was standing there actually in the middle of putting out

01:22 a Minha Tam's film, and there by this other table, Michael Lipsker was sitting there and, you know, talking and saying l'chaim. I have heard later, we heard that Rabbi Chadukov told somebody after davening that the bochrim shouldn't rush to go to breakfast like they always right after davening go to breakfast. They should wait a little bit. I don't know. We didn't hear about it. So anyway, I was there, and all of a sudden I turn around. I see the Rebbe walk in. No one expected it. So the Rebbe walked in and walked over to the place where Michael Lipsker was sitting, which means he walked through the table, by the table, walked, sat down on the bench right next to Michael Lipsker. He sat down on the bench, which with his back to the window, on the bench. And the Rebbe, and he, if I remember correctly, I think Michael Lipsker took a little kevlische and poured it some l'chaim and put it down by the Rebbe. But I think the Rebbe, if I remember correctly, I think the Rebbe brought out his own wine. The Rebbe said l'chaim. And then afterwards the Rebbe started saying the maimer. So we saw, and I was standing there, Rabbi Mentley was standing actually next to me. And we saw the Rebbe come in and sat down. So we ran over. Actually, I was almost putting out and holding my Rebbe in Tam's film. I put it down. We ran. I ran together with Rabbi Mentley. We ran

02:33 over to that table and we stood on the side. And the Rebbe started the maimer. And when he finished the maimer, the Rebbe got up and he walked out.
