0200 - Precise By Hear Part 1 - Machzor Vitri

00:00 I already told before that the Rebbe when he was Maggid of Sichas and he would write something from memory without looking it up, so he would make a note on the side to the people who wrote the Sichas that you should check it up to make sure it's so. So I want to give another example, and this is in the Sichas Chelik Tes, Parshas Kisovai, page one sixty-three. Now there the Rebbe discusses the, the Rashi on the pasuk where it says, "Hashem hemarta hayom, Hashem hemircha hayom." And Rashi says, "Ein lo omeid mechiah bemikra." That means I don't have a proof from a pasuk to exactly what the words hemarta and hemircha means. But then he says, "V'li nireh," I think it's from Lashon HaFrosh of Abdola from the Lashon of separation. But then Rashi adds, "Umatzosi lomeid", I did find a rayeh from a pasuk. Vahu Lashon Tiferes from the Lashon of beauty, Kemei, and he quotes the pasuk in Tehillim, "Yisamru kol pealovim." And the Rebbe says it seems simple peshat that first when Rashi wrote it, he didn't realize that there's a rayeh from a pasuk, and later on he found this rayeh from this pasuk, "Yisamru kol pealovim." But the Rebbe said it's very hard to say because for sure before Rashi wrote clearly, "Ein lo omeid mechiah bemikra", that there is no pasuk in the Torah that proves the meaning of the word, for sure he looked into or thought in his mind the whole of Tanakh. So how come

01:20 he didn't remember this pasuk, "Yisamru kol pealovim"? On this the Rebbe wrote a ha'arah, and the ha'arah he says is like this, "Ubefrat sheben chamesh lemikra k'vayeida mikra zeh", especially that a ben chamesh lemikra, a child who's learning Chumash knows this pasuk. "Sherayaim rebechol yom rivi", because you say it every Wednesday, "Besheer shel yom", in the sheer of the yom, you say this pasuk. And then the Rebbe in parentheses wrote, "Shemoker lamirazu hu b'mesichta sefirim reish peh erkud ches", that the source to say this is in Mesichta Sefirim, the beginning of the eighteenth peh erk. And then the Rebbe added, "Avo b'mahzar vitri", but in Mahzar Vitri, and the Rebbe writes in dashes, "Shebavadai beshitas Rashi Rabbi hailuch", for sure the Mahzar Vitri goes in the shita of Rashi his Rebbe. We know the Mahzar Vitri was a talmid of Rashi. So in the Mahzar Vitri, "Hu va hamishnah de seif tamid", there all is brought is the Mishnah in the end of Mesichta Tamid, and "Rak leShabbos", and only for Shabbos, "Lo hasheer atzmai", but the sheer itself to say that capital Tehillim, that sheer is not mentioned in the Mahzar Vitri. Which the Rebbe means in the Sichah bemeyleh may be according to Rashi that you, you do not say this on Wednesday. I mean, that's the peshat in the ha'arah. But the Lashon, as I said before, there's Lashon ha'arah. When the Rebbe wrote that, he wrote on top, "Levareer bediyuk b'mahzar vitri", to check up cle-- for sure, clearly in Mahzar

02:46 Vitri to see if it says. The Rebbe did not write a Marah Mokim where this is in Mahzar Vitri. So like always, he would leave the Marah Mokim to the people who wrote the Sichas to fill it in. In other words, instead of wasting his, spending his time of going over and looking up the Mahzar Vitri and then writing the Marah Mokim and then making sure it says there, which takes time, he left it to the people who were involved in the Sichas to do it. So in this case also, he wrote, "Levareer bediyuk b'mahzar vitri". So the people who were involved looked up the Mahzar Vitri, found it, and actually added the Marah Mokim that it is in Siman kuf tzadi gimel, and looked it up, and that's exactly what it said there. And in the second hagah, the Rebbe added another few words to the end of this ha'arah, "U'ra'ei achreinim l'turu v'shulchan orach eir achaim siman kuf lamed gimel v'ein kama ke'emei." That look up in the achreinim to Tur and Shulchan Aruch Eret Chaim Siman kuf lamed gimel, and this is not the real place to discuss this inyan. It's just brought by the way, derach aga. But here we see another example that the Rebbe was very careful to be exact, that even if he wrote it without looking it up, he would make sure that it's looked up. And this Lashon that he wrote here is, "Levareer bediyuk b'mahzar vitri."
