0089 - R' Lipa Schapiro Cholov Yisroel in Cleveland (212 degrees)

00:01 Our family lived in Cleveland. My father was for the Chosh Ha'Rabonim in the city. He was a member of the Merkaz Ha'Rabonim, and he was very, very well respected. And he did a lot of inyonim in the Fotze Tsamayones, in the Fotze Sayadus. And by fabrengins, when the Rebbe would give out mashke at the end of the fabrengin, Koshel Broche on Simchas Teire, he would give my father also a bottle. Now, the earlier years, it wasn't that he gave mashke, the bottles of mashke by fabrengin, after the fabrengin by Koshel Broche, but even during the, but during the fabrengin, the Rebbe would call up different people and give them mashke. And he gave my father also. The Rebbe wanted that my father should see that there should be Cholov Yisroel in Cleveland. It's not like now where you could get Cholov Yisroel from New York and you always deliver it from New York, but then it wasn't like that. So the city should have Cholov Yisroel. So once by the Rebbe gave a mashke, the Rebbe said to him with a smile, "Numadaf mish mashke mit milk." You should mix the mashke with milk. He meant to mrammes him that you got to work on the milk and the Cholov Yisroel. And he was working hard on it. The problem was that you have to kasher the pasteurizer. And you have to kasher it with water that reaches the boiling point, which is two twelve. And it was very hard then all those years to

01:17 make it go up to two twelve. So next time when he was on Yechides, he tells the Rebbe that they can't, the problem is with the Cholov Yisroel, but the kashering the pasteurizer can't go up to two twelve. Maybe we could do it with less. And the Rebbe said to him, "Nope. Zol zayn two eleven." You could go up to two eleven, if that's okay. So he said, "But that can't work either." So he said, "It should go up at least to two ten." And that's it. And when he said that can't go either, the Rebbe did not. He says, "No, less than that you can't do." But labayol, they worked out and there was Cholov Yisroel there. They worked out some system and it should be able to be done the proper way.
