0185 - Speaking Nigleh and Chasidus

00:01 As a bocher, I would go during the summer America shlichas, but Tov Shin Chav Vav Chav Zayin, I also went to camp. And I would go into Yechidas before the summer for my birthday because my birthday is in middle of the summer. Since I was away, I would go into Yechidas before. So one of the years, Chav Vav or Chav Zayin, I wrote to the Rebbe that I'm going to camp. And the Rebbe said to me, when he gave with the schreibes that you're going to camp, so it's to then geben a shir and chassidus to the counselors. That you should see to give a shir and chassidus to the counselors. Because my the Rebbe wanted that learning Torah should be a main thing that even in camp when you're involved in other things, there should be a shir and chassidus. Machlal, the Rebbe wanted that everything should be connected to Torah. So when I got married, we had a Sheva Brachos in Cleveland. And in Cleveland, when there was a Sheva Brachos that my father would make or any simcha, a lot of the Rosh Yeshivas from Tels would come because my father was very close to them. So before I went to the Sheva Brachos, I wrote to the Rebbe that I'm going for Sheva Brachos, one of the Sheva Brachos to Cleveland, and there'll be a Sheva Brachos there. I don't remember if I wrote that the Rosh Yeshivas from Tels will be there or the Rebbe understood himself knowing from before.

01:13 So the Rebbe wrote to me, "Vavada yinoim shom beinyonei nigle vedach." For sure, you will speak there. You'll give a drasha in inyonim of nigle and chassidus. And that's exactly what I did. I spoke a long inyan in nigle and in chassidus. And because the Rebbe wanted that everything should be connected very strongly to Torah. And in this one, when I gave the Sheva Brachos in Cleveland, there probably was another kavana because some people for some odd reason claim Lubavitch doesn't learn. So the Rebbe wanted that to show them that Lubavitch does learn nigle, learn chassidus. So when I get there, when there will be the Rosh Yeshivas of Tels, the Rebbe didn't say these words, but that's what could be his pshat in his words, that they should see that the Lubavitcher bocher also learns nigle and learns well. That's why he wrote, "Vavada yinoim shom beinyonei nigle vedach."
