0097 - Asking Cohen to Leave for Aliyah

00:01 In Sefer HaMinhogim it says, taken from the Kut HaDeburim, that the Rabbeim, our Rabbeim, were very careful, very medagdik, that in every Kriya, every time there was Kriya Satere, even Monday, Thursday, Shabbos to Mincha, there should be the seder of Kohen, Levi, and Yisroel. Well, the peil we saw by the Rebbe, it wasn't like that. By the Rebbe's minyan, they would ask the Kohen to go out, or whichever other way, and they would give a Yisroel bimkom Kohen. They weren't medagdik that you should have Kohen, Levi, Yisroel. But some people always were wondering, is this something that the Rebbe, pasha, didn't mind for whatever reason? Or, like the Rebbe said many times, that he didn't mix himself into Gabboios. He said that in the name of the Friediker Rebbe, in the name of the Rebbe Rashab, that certain things that the Rebbe Rashab and even the Friediker Rebbe were not so happy with what was going on in the Gabboios things of the shul, but he never mixed in. So maybe also the Rebbe didn't mix in. But I know that when my brother, Shalom Ber, became bar mitzvah, his bar mitzvah is right after Yut Shvat. My father took him to the Rebbe for Yut Shvat for that year, and they went into Yechidus, and the Rebbe told him about getting an aliyah that was the next time there was Kriya in 770. And the Rebbe told my father, iz ol beten dem Gabai, az iz ol beten dem Kohen, zol a ruiz gemet

01:14 a krign aliyah. Now, since the Rebbe always got shlishi, so there was no way that the Yisroel could get an aliyah by any of the Rebbe's, any time of the Rebbe's minyan. So the Rebbe said to him, iz beten dem Gabai, that he should ask, he should ask the Gabai that he should ask the Kohen to go out, the Kohanim to go out, and melei, your son will be able to get an aliyah. So here the Rebbe himself said that that's what they should do. I believe there were probably many other times that the Rebbe said this, but I'm not familiar. But this is something that I know for sure that the Rebbe said to my father, that he should tell the Gabai to ask the Kohen to go out, and melei, my brother, who was a Yisroel, should be able to get an aliyah for his bar mitzvah.
