0100 - Many Rumors are Not True Whatsoever

00:01 In the year תשי"ב, 1982, our yeshiva gave out a sefer called Likud Piskei Halacha u'Minhag of the Rebbe. That means we took, made a collection of letters of the Rebbe and sichas of the Rebbe that have to do with halacha, things which were not included in the sefer HaMinhagim, and how many things were there already then? This is תשי"ב we're talking many years before, and still there was quite a few, and we made a whole sefer out of it. And we asked the Rebbe if we could do it, if the Rebbe allows us to do it. So the Rebbe said we could do it as long as people look it over to make sure that it's right. But then the Rebbe added these words, that בנגה שמועות which means rumors, when you hear things that the Rebbe said this, the Rebbe said that, we should not put in. And the Rebbe wrote why, כי כמה וכמה מהן אינם נכונות כלל because many, many of them are not true at all. And the Rebbe underlined the word כלל and therefore we didn't put anything that's from the shmues. We didn't even put things in that are from הנוחא בילט מוגה because as much as הנוחא בילט מוגה means it's written down what the Rebbe said by פברנגן but since it wasn't edited and looked over by the Rebbe, we never know if it's exact or not exact, especially when it comes to halacha. There we have to know exactly that the Rebbe feels that way and

01:13 maybe he didn't understand it right. Maybe the Rebbe just said it, maybe פול הבאעמא just said it as a פולפול but לאו דאףקיר that he meant that this should be halacha. So we didn't even put in. The only thing we put in there was the Rebbe's sicha about putting, starting to put a rebbe in a tram's film from bar mitzvah, which was a chidush then. And that we did put in because that the Rebbe said very clear and he wanted that people started doing it. We put in, but like this, we didn't put anything in from הנוחא בילט מוגה either, but certainly not from the שמועות because כמה וכמה מהן אינם נכונות כלל
