0041 - Shnas Hakan (5723) Part 2

00:01 That year, which is Tovshin Chav Gimel, Chavdalet Tevis, was Sunday, which is the same kvias as the year that the Alter Rebbe was Nistalik. It was Nistalik Motze Shabbos, Chavdalet Tevis, which means the night of Chav Gimel towards Chavdalet, Motze Shabbos Parsha Shmeis. So this year, Tovshin Chav Gimel, Shabbos Parsha Shmeis, which was Chav Gimel Tevis, there was a Fabregen. At the end of the Fabregen, we found out, I don't remember if there was an announcement at the end of the Fabregen or later we were told, I don't remember, but we found out that Motze Shabbos, the Rebbe said there's going to be a Fabregen. And he said the Fabregen is going to be 1025. What's the Cheshb? 1025. Because the Tzemach Tzedek writes that the Alter Rebbe was Nistalik, Kachatzes Sho Yud Alef. Motze Shabbos Parsha Shmeis, Kachatzes means close to half an hour to 11, which seems to be about 1025. So the Rebbe gave over that he's going to come out to Fabregen at 1025. And that's what it was, 1025, the Rebbe came to Fabregen. It was a very, you could say, serious, ruchneznikki Fabregen. There was no mazenas, no wine. In other words, the Rebbe did not say l'chaim. It was like a Shabbosnikki Fabregen. Those years, in a Shabbosnikki Fabregen, a regular Shabbos Fabregen, the Rebbe did not make kiddush. The Rebbe did not have wine, did not have any mazenas. The people made kiddush and said l'chaim, but the Rebbe didn't. Only on special days. Later on, it

01:28 changed that the Rebbe said l'chaim every time there was a Fabregen on Shabbos. But that time it wasn't. So this Fabregen was a Fabregen without any mazenas and without any wine. The Rebbe walked in at about close to 1025 in Berech. The Rebbe was pale, very white, very, very serious. And the first thing the Rebbe said was that a word from the Fiediker Rebbe that when Chassidim have a Fabregen on the Yem Elula of the Rebbe, it's like giving a pidyon nefesh, like giving a pidyon from the Chassidim to the Rebbe. And the Rebbe is ma'orei rachmim rabim on all the Chassidim and their wives and their children. So this that we're having now, that is like the pidyon to the Alter Rebbe. And then the Rebbe said to sing Gavina Makenu. Then he said to sing the Alter Rebbe's nigun, the Dalet Boveh's Alter Rebbe's nigun. And this was about the time of 1025, close to 1030. And right after that, the Rebbe said a maimer with a nigun of a maimer. And the maimer started with the words, Ein Meisen Roze Teire. The maimer was very short. It lasted between four and five minutes, something like that. Very short, which was something strange, something different because a maimer, when the Rebbe said a nigun of a maimer, it was 30 minutes, 40 minutes, close to an hour. This was mamish four or five minutes. And then the Rebbe spoke about the time that here by the Alter Rebbe specifically, we find that there

02:45 is a diuk in the time of his istalkas, because the Tzemach Tzedek writes it, which usually by other tzaddikim, we don't know exactly what time of the day it was. We know the day of the yartzight. And here the Tzemach Tzedek makes, and the Rebbe spoke about that. And then the Rebbe spoke about the concept of making a yaval, a special jubilee from a time of like this time, it's 150 years, which is three yavlis. Then since the Rebbe said Chayel that we should be mechalek Tanya throughout those months and it should be finished by Chavdalet Teves. So now it was finished. So the Rebbe made a siyum on Tanya, said a siyum, a whole siyum on Tanya. And then at the end of the farbrengen, the Rebbe said they should sing Shamil's nigun, and then the Ani Zmires, and then Ani Mamin. Now by this, everyone thought that the farbrengen, the concept of the Shnas Hakan and the Rebbe Holtumel was over because there was Chayel, then there was a time in between, all the things that we were supposed to do. And then there was this farbrengen of Chayel Motze Shabbos. So this is when the Rebbe celebrated, so to speak, in a very, very serious way, the Shnas Hakan. But lepe'el, it wasn't like that, as I will explain in the next one.
