0088 - Maamar Friday Night of Yud Shvat

00:01 Yuchvat Tov Shin Chof Ches came out on Friday. Now they say there used to be, years before, that if Yuchvat came out on Friday, the big fabregen of Yuchvat was Motze Shabbos. Shabbos, there was also a fabregen. And also Friday night was a maimer. Now Yuchvat, by the big fabregen, the Rebbe would say a maimer, Bosi Legani, the of that year. Many times he would also say it Shabbos afternoon. And besides that, he would say the maimer Bosi Legani Friday night. Now originally it was before K'Gavno, which means after Kabbalah Shabbos, before Ma'ariv. But then later it happened that it changed, that the Rebbe said it after Ma'ariv. And they said the reason was because the time before that there was a lot of noise because the children were still there, so the Rebbe said it after Ma'ariv. But it used to be that the maimer was there Friday night. Tov Shin Chof Ches, everyone also expected the same thing would happen. So when it came to Ma'ariv time, the zal, the shul was set up like by a fabregen. The Rebbe would say a maimer, that's what they assumed. And the people were sitting in the tables, and the Bochrim and the Ynglike were standing on the sides, mamish like a regular fabregen or a regular maimer that they expected. The Rebbe didn't give anything over. I think that the other years during the day they knew the Rebbe said there'll be a maimer tonight. And this year, Chof Ches, they didn't hear anything.

01:23 But still people assumed that there will be a maimer, and everyone was set in their places. When the Rebbe came into Ma'ariv, I remember the Rebbe turned around to Rabbi Groner, I think, who was walking next to the Rebbe, behind the Rebbe, and he asked him, "What's this? Why are people standing like this?" They said, "They're waiting for the maimer." So the Rebbe said, "No, he's not saying a maimer tonight." And then the Rebbe said, "Tell them that they should learn the Bosi Legani," which meant the original Bosi Legani, it seemed like the original Bosi Legani from the Friediker Rebbe. And from then on, that stopped. That maimer Friday night in the case where Yuchvat is Friday, that stopped.
