0129 - Hanhagos of the Rebbe by Davening Part 3

00:01 When the Rebbe would daven for the Omed, many years, he would daven the whole davening, kemat the whole davening out loud. Especially in the year Tofshin Chaf Hei, when he davened every day for eleven months. So you were able to hear him davening out loud the whole davening. And therefore, there were certain things you were able to pick up, and I'm gonna mention just a few again which just comes to mind. First of all, b'negei, the kolosini, and this nigun that this, where the Rebbe used to daven, was a nigun. Now, that wasn't a nigun, it was just a, a style that poshet kiilu was teaching you pirush hamilus. It fit to the words that you were saying. It fits to the pshat of the words you were saying. Just to give one example, which is very, very much beilit, on the yom of Yom Rivi, the yom of, uh, Wednesday. So we say the words, "Ha'neita eisen ha'leyishmo, ha'leyitzra'en, ha'leyabit", which means the one that made the ears can't hear, the one that made the eye can't see. That's the taitch of the words. So the way he used to say it, the tune that they used to say it was, "Ha'neita eisen ha'leyishmo, ha'leyitzra'en, ha'leyabit." This tune teach-- it fits into the exact words, that the taitch of the words, you're like questioning. "Ha'neita eisen ha'leyishmo", that's the tune that the Rebbe used to say. But be'emes, if you think about it, the tune of the whole davening that he used to say,

01:16 most of the davening, fit to the teichen and the meaning of the words that you were saying. So that's number one. But then there are certain protim that just comes to mind now, and there are many, many more. And just to start with a few. Number one, when the Rebbe would walk in to daven for the Omed, Tofshin Chaf Hei, he davened upstairs. As he was walking into Shacharis, the ritzuis were still not on his fingers. In other words, he put on the tefillin, in the tallit and tefillin in his room, and he finished, uh, putting on the shel rosh. And then after he finished, uh, f- uh, put on the shel rosh, then you put the rest on the fingers, and then you close it up. So the Rebbe, when he was walking into shul, he hadn't had the f- the ritzuis on his fingers yet. And as he was walking, he would finish off putting the ritzuis on his fingers. That's how he walked into shul till he came to the Omed. And you were able to see that he was saying something in his mouth, which seems that while he was putting on the ritzuis on the fingers, he was saying parts of a Zeh Al Makoman. Exactly, we can't s- know, but that's what he was doing. So you see here one thing that we always wonder, do you have to wait to say any part of davening till you finish putting on the ritzuis on the finger? That means you

02:27 finish putting on the whole tefillin. But here you were able to see that while he was putting on the ritzuis on the fingers, they weren't on yet, the Rebbe was saying. And it seemed like that he was saying the front, uh, parts of a Zeh Al Makoman before davening. Another thing, in Hedo, he would stress the ches, navshe nucheeks ol Hashem, he would say. Another interesting thing, in most of the cases, when it says the word Ushmei, the Rebbe would not say Ushmei. Everything else, a cheilom by the Rebbe was a cheilom, not like the velt says a choilom. By the word Ushmei, the Rebbe would say with a cheilom like the velt. He would say not Ushmei, but Ushmoi. Said by the right before, uh, Rosh Chodesh, when you say Ushmoi Echad, say at the end of Os Yosei, when you say Ushmoi Echad. But the Rebbe, many times, I wouldn't say every single time that it's mentioned in davening, but I think most of the times he would say instead of Shmei, he would say Ushmoi. By the word Mashlach Karche Chafitim, the Rebbe then, other times maybe it was different, but then he said Mashlach Korche Kefitim. Another thing, on Monday, the yom of Yom Sheini, so there it says the poseek, Keshimcha Elokim, kein tiloscha alkats ve'eretz, et cetera, et cetera. The Rebbe would not say kein tiloscha, but kein tilosecha. And actually, I think that's the way it's written in Sefer Torah Eiv. But that's what the Rebbe would always

03:46 say, kein tilosecha. Another thing I wanna mention that we were able to see, that when the Rebbe took the Sefer Torah, when they, by psicha sorda, they gave the Rebbe the Sefer Torah, he would hold it and would not start gadlu till the one that had psicha closed on kodesh, closed the pareches, and then the Rebbe said gadlu. But otherwise, he would always wait till that was finished, till he would say gadlu.
