0218 - Publication of Kovetz Divrei Torah Part 2

00:01 While we were waiting for the answer of the Rebbe, which took a long time, that Rebbe didn't answer, and it seemed like because he didn't have time to be Maggia the Sicha. So the meantime, time passed, and since some of us who were involved in this were also the ones that were writing the Sichas for Likutei Sichos, so what we did was we took that Sicha that we had prepared for the Rebbe to be Maggia for the Kevetz, and we used that Sicha for a Likud for Parsha Bechukosai for Likutei Sichas. And the Rebbe was Maggia for Likutei Sichas, and it came out for Likutei Sichas. As soon as it came out for Likutei Sichas, we thought to ourselves, now we have an opportunity to bring up the subject again. Because the whole reason that took time, it seems, because the Rebbe wanted a new Sicha, and the Rebbe didn't have time to Maggia a special Sicha for the Kevetz. That's why it's taking time. But now that the Sicha just came out anyway, so since it just came out, it could be considered it's new, and we could use that to print in the Sefer. So therefore, we took the opportunity, and we gave in to the, we wrote to the Rebbe a letter. I signed it Beshem Hamareches. And this is what we wrote, that a while ago, we gave in the Rebbe concerning the Sicha to be Maggia for the Kevetz. It came out now for Likutei Sichas of Parsha Bechukosai. And

01:15 the reason we gave it in to them, because the Rebbe said it should be new. But now since it just came out for Likutei Sichas, it could be considered new maybe. And maybe now we could print this Kevetz and print the Sicha there. So therefore, we asked the Rebbe, number one, can we give out the Kevetz now, and can we print the Sicha? So on those words, the Rebbe underlined those words that we're able to give out the Kevetz now, and we're able to print the Sicha. Then we wrote to the Rebbe also. The Rebbe wrote last time that we should give in recommendations about a name. And we had written two recommendations. Really, we could call it three. One is call it Shaarei Kehilal or Shaarei Hakehilal. And the second one is Kevetz Chidushateira. So we're asking the Rebbe if those are acceptable. So the Rebbe, what he did was on the side, he wrote, "Ki Medumeh Kvar Heitzil Eir Kevetz V'Lom Ale Shanes." I think that you gave other media Kevetz. Why change? And on the names, what happened was the Rebbe crossed out the whole thing. He crossed outside the line, the word Shaarei Kehilal with a he maybe, crossed out the name Kevetz Chidushateira. But he made two arrows to the word Shaarei Kehilal, crossed out the he from Hakehilal. So we didn't understand two things. Number one, what did he mean that I think that you gave other Kevetz already? Why change? And also, what name did the Rebbe want?

02:31 He crossed out both. But on the other hand, there were arrows to the word Shaarei Kehilal. So we thought maybe the Rebbe meant to keep Shaarei Kehilal. So what we did was we wrote another letter to the Rebbe, and we wrote that it seems that the Rebbe meant the name Shaarei Kehilal. So we made a copy of a Shar blat, of a cover page with the name Kevetz Shaarei Kehilal. We gave it in to the Rebbe. We asked the Rebbe if this is right. So when we wrote the Rebbe, "Im Nochin", if it's right that it should be called Shaarei Kehilal, the Rebbe made two exclamation points. And then he wrote, "Ki Medumeh Machakti Gam Hashem Shaarei Kehilal." I think I erased even the name Shaarei Kehilal. The Tovye said it's better Kevetz Torah, a Kevetz Divre Torah. Better if you would call it Kevetz Torah or Kevetz Divre Torah. And then we wrote to the Rebbe concerning what the Rebbe wrote that it seems like we gave out already a Kevetz. So why change? So we wrote probably the Rebbe means what we were planning then to give out the Kevetz a few months ago. So maybe we had a name already. So we wrote to the Rebbe that we never gave out. And we made that there is no name yet. And then we asked the Rebbe if we could write that it's given out by the Maskirus. The Rebbe didn't answer, but he left it obviously that we're able to do it.

03:44 So what we did now, we prepared it to print, and we wrote a Pesach Dover. And in the Pesach Dover, we wrote that this is a Kevetz for Purim of the Kehilal. And then we also wrote that as a Hagdomeh to the Kevetz, we're being maitik a Sicha of the Rebbe, Sheyotzo Le'er Ba'achreinu, La'achreinu v'Likutei Sichas v'Parashat Bechukosai, that came out lately for Likutei Sichas v'Parashat Bechukosai. So the Rebbe changed it. He, and he made it just be written like this. As a Hagdomeh to the Kevetz Mutik v'Ze Sichas Kvei Chidushad, Mushlitetz a Sicha of the Rebbe. And then he made a star and made a Ha'arah on the bottom. Heitzi Le'er Ze Atah Gam v'Likutei Sichas v'Parashat Bechukosai. That it came out just now, also in Likutei Sichas v'Parashat Bechukosai. So then, in other words, according to this, this is something new. It's came out, so there's some, this new Sicha is printed here, and it's also printed in Likutei Sichas, but it's all a new thing. And then concerning which date to write, so the Rebbe wrote in the date Yud Beis Sivan, Tov Shin Lamed Gimel. That was the first Kevetz that came out. And then not long after that, the Kehilal, they, the Mareches, us gave out another Kevetz. This was for Chai Elul, the same year, Tov Shin Lamed Gimel. And there also printed a Sicha that was printed just then in Likutei Sichas of Parashat VaEschanan. And the Tak is written in the same style, that as a Hagdomeh,

05:06 we're printing here the Sicha of the Rebbe, a Siyum HaShas. And on the bottom, there's a Ha'arah, Heitzil Le'er Ze Atah Gam v'Likutei Sichas v'Parashat VaEschanan. And from then on, from time to time, the Kehilal gave out another Kevetz of Divrei Torah, and then other and other, it continued.
