0033 - Mezonos After Shaking Lulav - R' Dubruskin

00:01 In the fabregen of Simchas Beis HaSheiva, Tov Shin Hof Dalet, the Rebbe spoke about what the Rebbe writes in Siddur, in the Geia Bench Nesrig, that mitzvas nitilosi besukehe mitzve min hamufchar. That you should bench esrig in the sukkah, and that is mitzve min hamufchar. That means that it's a better doing, better way of doing the mitzvah. So the Rebbe explained that the reason for this is because it's part of the mitzvah of sukkah. Since it says by sukkahs, teishvukeim teduru, that you have to sit in the sukkah just like you live in the home, and that's why you have to eat and drink in the sukkah. So too, when you're going to do a special mitzvah, it should be done in the sukkah. And the Rebbe explained, ayif and the Rebbe's loshon is mashme that this is a din mitzat lulav. It's a mitzvah min hamufchar in the mitzvah of esrig and lulav, but it's not because of the sukkah. So the Rebbe explained that what the Rebbe means in addition, that chachilah this is a din in the sukkah. But in addition to that, mitzat the mitzvah of dalet minim, it's also a mitzvah min hamufchar to do it in the sukkah. By one of the meals, Harav Dubruskin, he was one of the guests that came for Tishrei that year. He was a chosheverov, and he was also invited to be part of the meal by the Rebbe in the Friedrich Rebbe's apartment. Those years, the Friedrich Rebbe, the Rebbe would eat

01:26 by the, in the Friedrich Rebbe's apartment, the Yom HaMtevim, and they would invite the El Terech Siddim or Chosheve guest. So he was one, one of the guests that was invited there. And by the meal, they would ask questions sometimes, and the Rebbe would answer. So he asked the Rebbe by the meal that according to what the Rebbe said, that this is mitzat sukkah, that since sukkahs you have to live in the sukkah like you live in the house, so you have to do the important things in the sukkah. So the reason you bench esrig is because it's part of the mitzvah of sukkah, so you should have to make a brocha leishevas sukkah when you bench esrig. So the Rebbe answered, so that's why it's kedai that you should eat right after you bench esrig in the sukkah, you should eat a piece of mazanus. And bemela you will be making a leishevas sukkah on the mazanus, and that'll go on the esrig also. So he asked the Rebbe, but this is before davening, as if saying, how could you eat mazanus before davening? So the Rebbe said, nu, as if saying, nish geferlach. Actually, I wasn't there bechasmaisa, but I remember standing downstairs when the people from the meal came down and they told this over that this is what the conversation was. This is how the conversation took place. Now, later on, after Yontev, Isru Chag, always Isru Chag sukkahs, there was always a kinostora that the Chosheve Rabbonim, the guest, would

02:44 speak a sepal pulim. So he was one of the speakers, and I remember his pilpul was, he asked the kasha that what did the Rebbe mean that after you bench esrig, you eat mazanus, you make a leishevas sukkah, so that'll go on the esrig too. The din v'aya brocha of a mitzvah is that you have to do the brocha, say the brocha before you do the mitzvah. Ever lasios them before you do the mitzvah. And here you're gonna say the brocha leishevas sukkah that should go on the esrig afterwards. So his whole pilpul was that by s- by the din of sukkah specifically, he brought raya that we find that you, the brocha of leishevas sukkah from later goes on before. And the truth is that in the Likutei Sichos, in Cheilik Choveiz, when this sicha was printed in this mugia in Parshas Emer, second sicha to Emer, there it's not stressed so much that this is a din in the sukkah. There it's more that this is a din in the esrig. That it doesn't say so much a din in the sukkah, but at the end of the sicha it does mention that, and that's all based on this fabregen of Simcha leis Hasheva. The sicha is from that fabregen. And actually the Rebbe did say that it's kedai to make a leishevas sukkah by eating after s- uh, m- after the benching the esrig, to eat some mazanus and make a leishevas sukkah. And I don't know if the Rebbe meant it

03:55 should become a meaning like that, and I don't know exactly the loshon if he said that's how it should be or it could be, if you want you could do, but definitely the techem was there.
