0180 - Torah and Mitzvos Adds Life to the Rebbe

00:00 We all know that it says in Tanya, in the Geras HaKedes, that chayai ha-tzadik einam chayim psorim, the life of a tzadik is not a physical life, but it's a mona, ava v'yira. The ruchnitzik life, that's the real life of a tzadik, and that's the health of a tzadik. And the health of a tzadik depends on the ruchnis dikinyonim. And the Rebbe even said in the Geide Fri Dike Rebbe that the last 18 years of his life was a miracle. The doctor said that he was able to be alive because physically his body didn't seem that it could be alive because the life of a tzadik is ruchnis. I remember once, Chasukis, when the Rebbe fabringed in the sukkah, I don't remember which year it was, someone in the middle of the fabringi between the sichas came up to the Rebbe, from Eretz Yisrael he was, and he said to the Rebbe that this is, he gave the Rebbe a bottle, and this bottle is from Shazar. And he said that Shazar also told him to wish the Rebbe, the Rebbe zol zayn gezunt, the Rebbe should be healthy. So the Rebbe looked at him and the Rebbe said, and you could also help that I should be healthy. And he looked at the Rebbe, didn't understand what that means. So the Rebbe answered him, and I don't remember the exact wording, but the teichan was that if you add to teyremitzvas or strengthen teyremitzvas or strengthen your Yiddishkeit, I don't remember the loshon, that

01:16 will help for my health. And it fits to what we always learn, that the health or the life of a tzadik is basically ruchnis. And if we add in Yiddishkeit, this gives the Rebbe health.
