0217 - Publication of Kovetz Divrei Torah Part 1

00:01 The Kehilal in Crown Heights, which is under maskirus of the Rebbe, gives out from time to time a journal of Kevidz of Chidushei Torah, called Kevidz Divrei Torah. So I would like to explain how it all started. It was Tovshin Lamed Gimel when some Yungelite from our kite were still in Kehilal, decided that it's time that we give out a Kevidz. We all knew that the Rebbe was very for giving out Kevsim Chidushei Torah in the yeshivas, so we assumed that for sure the Rebbe would be happy if we'd give out a Kevidz. So we decided to ask the Rebbe. So what we did was we had some of the Yungelite write up Chidushei Torah, Pilpulim, different Sugias, and we wrote a letter to the Rebbe. I signed it Besheim BeChavri Amareches, and we wrote to the Rebbe like this, that here we're sending in copies of certain Pilpulim that Yungelite wrote, and these are just a sample, but there will be more in the same style, and we're asking the Rebbe if we should give out a Kevidz with these Chidushei Torah. And we wrote to the Rebbe also that we will write eventually a Pesach Dover if come when the time comes if we're going to give it out. Another thing we wrote that we are Matziah. We suggest that this Kevidz should be printed. We wrote it because in the Kevsim of 770, Pilpul HaTalmidim, that the Khanim wrote Chidushei Torah, it wasn't really printed, real print. It was typed and made

01:32 like photostats offset of the typing. So here we wrote to the Rebbe that we suggest we should print it Mamish. And then we asked the Rebbe a few questions. One question was that maybe we should add Pilpulim Ichsidis, but nobody in the Kehilal was at that time ready to write a Pilpul Ichsidis. So we suggested that since there are some Yungelite in Kehilal who had originally years before written Chidushei Torah, Pilpulim Ichsidis, printed in other journals, maybe we should reprint it here. So we should have some Pilpulim Ichsidis. That's one question. Another question, we want to print a Sikhe as a Hagdomet to the Kevidz. So we asked the Rebbe, should we take an old Sikhe that's Mugi already, print it someplace and we'll print it here again? Or should we give it to the Rebbe a Sikhe the Rebbe should Magia? In other words, we should prepare a Sikhe and the Rebbe will Magia a new Sikhe. And then we asked the Rebbe what name we should give the Kevidz. So on this letter, the Rebbe wrote like this. B'negeil Hasignen, obviously he agreed that it should happen. And he wrote like this. B'negeil Hasignen, concerning the style of how these Pilpulim are written. So the Rebbe writes, Echod HaMasim LeZe SheYaver. A person who fits to this job should go over it. And the word SheYaver is written in quotations. Then he continued. B'negeil Hatochen, concerning the contents of the Pilpulim. So the Rebbe writes like this. Kedai SheEchod Lo Mechavra HaKehilal. It's

02:57 Kedai that one that is not from the members of the Kehilal, and they underline the word Lo. And then he added the parenthesis, Ebeiz, or maybe two people. Yaver Al Kol SheBadaitom Lahatfis Al Kaponim Mekufia. Should go over everything that they're planning to print, at least superficially. And then he wrote in parentheses why. Because Ula Et Sorech Lias Eize Shini Vecholom. Maybe there'll have to be certain changes. So you have to have somebody or one or two people to look it over. B'negeil, we asked the Rebbe if we should reprint some Pilpulim Mechzidis that some of the Yungelite of the Kehilal wrote someplace else. So the Rebbe wrote like this. Lo, Natu. And then he writes on the side. Al Kol Ponim Kevidz Alef, Horishin. At least the first Kevidz, Sorech Lias Kuli Chodesh. Happens has to be completely new. And then when it said that it was certain Pilpulim that were printed in Pilpul HaTalmidim. So the Rebbe writes, Beim Nit was a Pilpul HaTalmidim, not to print it again. B'negeil de Sikhe, the Rebbe writes that to print a Sikhe that was Mugi already, but it was not printed. Ukin Al, like he said before, the first one has to be completely new. Concerning which name to call it, the Rebbe wrote, Hatzoes. Write in suggestions with a question mark. What are your suggestions? And then at the end of the page, the Rebbe wrote concerning two of the Pilpulim that were handed into the Rebbe. He wrote like this. Le Inyan Bari

04:24 V'Shemo. Concerning the Inyan of the Suggi Bari V'Shemo, which one of the Pilpulim were about. So the Rebbe writes, Be Encyclopedia Talmudis. You can look in the Encyclopedia Talmudis, you'll find more information. And Lagabe Mayan B'Kol Shu, one of the Pilpulim was about Mikve, about Mayan B'Kol Shu. The Rebbe writes, Be Sefer Gelus Aliyas. In the Sefer Gelus Aliyas, you will have more information if you look there. So the Rebbe seemed to be very happy and gave certain instructions how we should go about it. So what we did right away was we looked to see if there's a Sikhe that's Mugi that was not printed and we couldn't find. So what we did was we prepared a new Sikhe and gave it into the Rebbe. And then we wrote to the Rebbe, Hatzoes, what it should be called. And the Hatzoes that we wrote was one, Shari Kehilal or Shari HaKehilal or Kevidz Chidush HaTeire. And we gave it into the Rebbe. And for a long time, we didn't hear an answer. To be continued in the next broadcast, what continued, how it happened later.
