0141 - Rebbe Told Bochur to go to Sleep

00:01 In the youth and in the chofs, sometimes the Rebbe when he would walk by and see a bocher doing something, he would make a comment. Like for instance, if it would be middle of the winter and the bocher was walking outside without a coat, the Rebbe would make a comment to him, "Why aren't you wearing your coat?" So I remember once sitting in seven-seventy, and it was Thursday night, night of Yechidus. And after Yechidus, the Rebbe was going home. It was already about three o'clock in the morning. And I was standing on the side, actually in the hallway, and there was a bocher standing by the door of Maskiros, between the door of Maskiros and the door of the shul, where the pushke is. And the Rebbe went out of his room and was going home, and he walked by in the hall, and he saw him standing there. And the Rebbe turns around to him, and he says to him, "Farvosh lofstu nit? Sis pet, why aren't you sleeping now? It's late." I heard that the Rebbe said this to some bochurim quite a few times, but this is the one time that I remember that I saw from far that the Rebbe said this to him. He saw him being up late, even though it was Thursday night, and Thursday night bochurim would stay up late to learn. But when he saw him that late, he told him why-- he asked him why he's not sleeping. He told him to go to sleep.

01:13 And obviously, the bocher right away went to sleep.
