0158 - Temimim are our Best - Bemashmaneinu

00:01 In the farbrengen of Leil Simchas Torah, Tov Shin Chof Beis, the farbrengen, the night of Simchas Torah before Akoves, Tov Shin Chof Beis, at the end of the farbrengen, the Rebbe said to sing the nigun, B'mashmanenu al yehi rozin. It's a famous nigun, B'mashmanenu al yehi rozin. This comes from the tefillah of Tal. And the meaning of the words are, the word B'mashmanenu comes from the word shoman, fats. So B'mashmanenu means in our fats. And rozin means lean, skinny. And the tefillah is, we're asking Hashem, B'mashmanenu, in our fats, should not be lean. And in the middle of the nigun, the Rebbe stopped and he said, the Rebbe Rashab once said to the talmidim of Temichat Mimim that they should give over their mashmanenu, their fats, their best in learning Torah. And then he promises that al yehi rozin. And the Rebbe said, since divrei tzadikim kayomim la'ad, the words of tzadikim are forever. So when the talmidim will give over their mashmanenu, their best in learning nigle of the Torah and learning pnim of the Torah, and the balabatim are going to give their best, their mashmanenu in supporting Torah, as it says, v'simcheha me'usher, that those that support Torah are lucky. Me'usher means lucky. But in Zohar it says, al tikra me'usher ela me'reishei. If you take the word me'usher and you change the letters around, it turns into the word me'reishei, means from its head. That means you get the brachos from the head, from the top, from the beginning, from the

01:20 source of all the brachos. And besides that, balabatim are able to make a deal with those that learn Torah that they will support them and they will get a share in the Torah. So if they all do this in the form of mashmanenu, then there is the promise of the Rabbeim that al yehi rozin. And then the Rebbe said to sing the nigun again, and the Rebbe got up and made strongly with his hands in this singing of the mashmanenu concerning the talmidim of Temichat Mimim. The way I remembered all the years was that besides what I just mentioned that the Rebbe said, he also said that the talmidim of Temichat Mimim are our mashmanenu. They are our fats, our best. And the bakasha is that B'mashmanenu al yehi rozin, that there should be no rozin, no leanness. See, in other words, no skinniness, nothing less missing in mashmanenu, in the talmidim of Temichat Mimim who are called our mashmanenu. But when I looked in the Hanoch, I don't see these words. So it became a safek by me. It does say in the Hanoch, a choser ktsas, that a part is missing. So maybe this is what was missing. But the way I remember that the Rebbe said this, the Rebbe said that the talmidim of Temichat Mimim are mashmanenu, and we're asking that al yehi rozin, there should be nothing lacking in the talmidim of Temichat Mimim. But since it doesn't say in the Hanoch, it became a safek by me if that's

02:39 what the Rebbe said or some other pshat that came out of what the Rebbe said. But this is the way I remember.
