0183 - Leaving by Safek Farbrengen

00:01 Most of the years, there wasn't a farbrengen every Shabbos. Only after Mem Ches, when the Rebbetsin passed away, that's when the Rebbe started farbrengen every Shabbos. But like this, there was a farbrengen Shabbos Mevarchim, and then Yom Im B'pagre. And then there were some Shabbosim that there were sfeikas, that they didn't know if there would be a farbrengen or not. So if a bocher, if an ingeman had to go someplace for Shabbos, like to go to the parents or other reason he had to go, they always would leave it for a Shabbos that there is no farbrengen, so they shouldn't miss the farbrengen. Then whenever there was a Sofik, there was always a discussion. If someone had to go, can you go away for the Shabbos? Can you not go away for the Shabbos? It's only a Sofik. Maybe there will be a farbrengen, maybe not. So once when we were discussing this Sofik inyan, so Reb Yessev Weinberg told me that he remembers that the Friedike Rebbe would say a maimer Shabbos, but there were some Shabbosim it wasn't sure that he didn't say a maimer. So there was one Shabbos, and it wasn't sure there would be a maimer. And there's a bocher that had to go home, I think, or had to go someplace, and he left for that Shabbos. After Shabbos, the Friedike Rebbe asked, I think it was Rav Chachafagin. He asked him, "Where was that bocher for Shabbos?" He didn't see the bocher. So he told him that he

01:10 left because it was a Sofik if there'd be a maimer or not. So the bocher left. So the Friedike Rebbe answered him, "U naf a Sofik lain tzachnit?" With such a loshen. And for a Sofik, it's not worth to stay? In other words, he was saying that even a Sofik, if there's only a Sofik, you should not go. And takem, most of the bocherim would not leave for the Shabbos even if there was Sofik. They would only choose to leave for a Shabbos that there was for sure no farbrengen.
