0104 - Moshiach Sefer Torah Part 3

00:01 By this farbrengen on Erev Shabbos, Yuchvat Tov Shimlamid, when there was the Sefer Torah of Mashiach. So the Rebbe said a maimer. The maimer started, "L'hovan inyan kifsei Sefer Torah." And after the maimer, the Rebbe just said that now that the Sefer Torah was finished, so now it's no more machuser maise. We're not missing that to do the action of writing the Sefer Torah. So now everyone has to finish the pachim k'tanim, the small little things that you have to do to prepare for Mashiach, and that should be mavatel the golus, and we should go out from golus b'simcha tov u'levav to be mekabel pnei Mashiach tzidkeinu. But then the Rebbe said concerning this day, this is Erev Shabbos of Yuchvat, so there will be a farbrengen Yuchvat. So I wanna-- unfortunately, you have to bavon something the Rebbe said. I want you to know that this is not gonna be, the farbrengen of Yuchvat is not gonna be like they call it here, a banquet, or a dinner, or an installation, or something sensational, a statement. It's not gonna be all that. You should know this is a hilula v'tzadik, the hilula v'nasi dereinu, and there's no reason for statements, there's no reason for, for installments and things like that. The only-- it's a time to speak divrei Torah and yiras Shamayim and divrei rezeitas, that it should come down b'peal by everybody who listens, that they should do in it. And then we'll be zecher to go out from the golus and be

01:15 aschal to the gul, et cetera, et cetera. Now, when the Rebbe said that, and then he made a bracha achrain, but when the Rebbe said that, it made like a certain feeling that till now the feeling was for sure this is Mashiach, and Mashiach is coming now. And when the Rebbe said that, it showed that this is not exactly what it is, that maybe we will not be zecher, that this will be the time for the geulah. Came Motzei Shabbos, there was a farbrengen of Yuchvat. There was a regular long farbrengen with the regular inyonim of Yuchvat that the Rebbe spoke like always. And I can't use the word, it was like a letdown, but it showed that we're not zecher. This is, uh, closer to Mashiach, but it's not-- we're not zecher that this is it. Someone told me he was standing at the back of the fab-- by the farbrengen, in the back of the shul, and there were two not Lubavitcher bochurim standing there. And it was about twelve o'clock, and one said to the other, he overheard him say, "I am going home already. It's late. I had enough. I'm going home." And the other one said, "No, I'm not going home yet. I'm not going home till Mashiach comes." In other words, even by other people on the outside who had any shaichus to Lubavitch, it also makes that yesodah, that they expected that this Yuchvat of Shemaamud, this is the time of Mashiach. So this guy said, "I'm not

02:23 leaving this farbrengen till Mashiach comes." The peal of farbrengen was over, and then Parshah Pekudei, Shabbos Parshah Pekudei, the Rebbe spoke again about the Sefer Torah, about Mashiach's Sefer Torah. And he said that there were some people who were against it, they're menagem to it, and they had ta'inis against it. So the Rebbe said it's a big rachmanus on them and referred to them as the sridei ha'golus, the leftovers of the golus. And he spoke by arichas, but the expressions they used that these are people that ein yeidem beminyanim los mailam. They don't know between their right and left. They don't know anything. They have no idea in these inyonim. And yas b'chlal, how could they give opinions whether this is right or wrong? Since this is a inyan that has to do with Pnimis HaTorah, these inyonim of the Sefer Torah and all these inyonim that the Rebbe was involved in, so how could they give an opinion? If they're not-- they don't know anything about Pnimis HaTorah, how could they give an opinion? And the Rebbe said it's al derech like the Rosh writes, that why is there a din halacha k'Rav b'isura k'Shmuel b'ma'eina? When there's an argument between Rav and Shmuel, when it comes to inyonim of isur v'heiter, the halacha is like Rav. Inyonim of mamenus, of monetary decisions, the halacha is like Shmuel. So the Rosh says why? Because Rav's main involvement, main occupation was inyonim of isur, so he was the expert. If he was the expert, the

03:33 halacha is like him in isur. Shmuel was mainly involved, and he was the expert in mamen, the halacha is like him. So people who are involved in things, they could give their opinion, and we accept it. But these people, what do they know? The Rebbe spoke very s-s-sharp against it. And the Rebbe even said concerning one of the people who are menaged, he said, he used the lashon HaGemara. He said that kol hameitzar leLubavitch nasa rosh. The Gemara you says, kol hameitzar leYisroel nasa rosh. Whoever makes trouble for a Yiden becomes a leader ahead by them. So the Rebbe used that term here too. Whoever fights Lubavitch will become a rosh, a leader by them. And he referred to the people who were fighting, this person who was fighting, that he will eventually, b'korav, become a, a rosh by them, and that's exactly what happened. But the Rebbe spoke the importance of this finishing the Sefer Torah, Sefer Torah of Mashiach. And from then on, there were many Shabbosim that the Rebbe gave over a hiro that you should read, use Mashiach's Sefer Torah to read Krias HaTorah that Shabbos. I don't know if all Shabbosim that they used it the Rebbe said, or maybe they asked the Rebbe, and the Rebbe agreed with Rebbe's haskomah. But l'peal, this became a Sefer Torah that from some special Shabbosim, they've used this Sefer Torah l'kabbal pnei Mashiach tzidkeinu. And we are sure and we hope that we'll use it very, very, very soon to go be

04:49 mekabel pnei Mashiach tzidkeinu with this Sefer Torah b'korav mamesh.
