0196 - Harav Weberman - Azkir al Hatzion

00:01 Rav Eberman, who's one of the Chashuve Rabbonim here in Miami, told me that he once was by the Rebbe for Yud Beis Tammuz, sometimes in the Lameds, I think. And he wrote to the Rebbe asking for a brocha about something, and the Rebbe answered him, "Ask her Al Hatzion." So when he went into Yechidus after Beis Tammuz, he asked again the Rebbe for a brocha for the same thing. So the Rebbe said to him, "I already answered you." So he said to the Rebbe, "Yeah, the Rebbe just answered, 'Ask her Al Hatzion.' He's gonna mention it by the Tzion of the Friediker Rebbe. But he wants a brocha. This is not really a brocha." So the Rebbe said to him, "How is it possible that you should say that?" It's now Parshas Schlach. I don't know if that week was Parshas Schlach or the week before. We get by this around Parshas Schlach. And in Parshas Schlach, we learn that it says, "Venigeh ekola ben Yefuneh," that when he was sent to be one of the Meraglim, it says, "He went lishtateach al kivri oves." He went to daven by the kever of the oves. He went to the Maaras Hamachpela. So here we see the greatness of going to the Tzion of the, of, of the Rebbe. So he said-- So as- answering, "Ask her Al Hatzion," this is a brocha, and there is no reason for him to ask again.
