0132 - Bochurim Should Wear Shabbos Clothes

00:01 In the early youths, there was a bocher who learned in seven seventy. He was a very, very chassidishe bocher. He was mamash amushik melelam hazeh. He wasn't into any gashmiusdiki things. He was learned chassidis, et cetera, et cetera. At kedekaf, so much so that even Shabbos, not always did he change into bigde Shabbos, into Shabbos clothes, because he wasn't into these in yonom of, of, of garments, of bogdim. He was completely beyond it. But somebody seems seemingly masse to the Rebbe. So he told me himself, years later obviously, he told me himself that once the Rebbe came into seven seventy, or was leaving some, I don't know exactly, but he saw him, and the Rebbe stopped and told him, "Adeshweret givolt az di bochrim zollen ont an andere bogdim Shabbos, bigde Shabbos. Adesher, my father-in-law," which means the Friedike Rebbe, "wanted that the bochrim should wear other clothes on Shabbos, Shabbos clothes." And he explained, "Zmeyn tishbim zollen ont an andere sort bogdim." It doesn't mean that they should wear other types of bogdim. Like a yungerman wears a different kind of beged on Shabbos. The weekday he could wear a short jacket, Shabbos he wears a satuk. But he didn't mean that the bochrim should do that. Aber andere bogdim means they should have special bigde Shabbos. And the Rebbe said it to him because obviously the Rebbe heard that he doesn't do it. So he told me that the Rebbe told it to him, so from-- since then, he started wearing bigde Shabbos

01:15 on Shabbos, make sure that he changes his suit on Shabbos, before Shabbos. I wanna take this opportunity to mention that when I started all these broadcasts, I said that since a lot of these things that I say happened many, many years ago, and it's very possible we forget and sometimes we confuse, so I said anybody who has any ha'aras should let me know. And the truth is, I've been getting some ha'aras, but I want to mention especially the one-- about something that I said just the last few days, b'neguea, the story with saying v'hineiam into the microphone by the hookup. So I got many ha'aras that the way I said it seems a little bit confused. I said that it happened on Yut Aschlisla, but it didn't. It happened, they say, on Bavtishoi. And also that afterwards, the peal, he did say v'hineiam, and it did start working, and they heard someone say l'chaim from Erzt Israel, et cetera, et cetera. And a few more details that they mentioned that I d- didn't get exact-- collect correctly. So I just wanted this opportunity to thank them for making these ha'aras, because like I said, it's very possible that it's, uh, you're able to forget or confuse because it's so many years. And so therefore, whatever I say is only the way I remember it. If someone has a ha'arah, please let me know and, uh, if I'll be able to correct it. If not, it's corrected by itself because people hear from others, so they

02:24 will-- it'll be corrected. There was another thing that I said. It was a pleitas hapet. It was a slip of the tongue. Lately, I mentioned Gabi Yud Alef, Nisan Tov, Shin Chof Beis. I said it's Shnas Ashivim from the Rebbe Zimmeledet, uh, the seventieth year, which really was a slip of the tongue. I meant it was Shnas Hashishim, the sixtieth. Also in the beginning when I started, one of the first things I said was b'neguea the Rebbe once saw Rabbi Pikarsky, the Rosh Yeshiva of seven seventy. He saw him in the hallway of seven seventy, and he asked-- said to him, "I wanna ask you a shailah. Is there a din of..." So the way I said it, "Le'igesh vai matanah. If you expect a present from somebody, can you pressure him that he should give it to you? Because by a loan, you're not allowed to." Now, he said the word that the lashon is le'igesh. There's a posuk le'igesh, but it was also a slip of the tongue because I happened to be learning about le'igesh then, so I said le'igesh. What the Rebbe said was, and someone was mehader me for that too, but I re-- I, I meant to say that it was le'siel lekanesha. It says when you lend somebody money, don't pressure him, but the lashon of the posuk le'siel lekanesha. So just by slip of the tongue, I said le-le'igesh, but really it's le'siel lekanesha. And maybe there are a few more things, but I just don't, don't

03:30 remember at this moment exactly, but that I was corrected with something that I said. And by the way, I wanna give everyone thank you for giving, you know, the good wishes about what we're doing, and the Rebbe should help them that everybody should be able to do their p-- their share in hafotz samionus and bringing the Rebbe closer to everybody. Thank you very much.
