0219 - Why the Rebbe Doesn't Answer

00:01 I heard from the Be'al there was once somebody, he went to Yechidas, and he mentioned to the Rebbe that there are some people that are wondering why the Rebbe doesn't answer them. There are people that don't get answers from the Rebbe. And the Rebbe said, "I don't know what you mean. I answer. Tell me the Moshel, who's somebody who complained that I don't answer?" So the person said that there was this and this lady that she wrote to the Rebbe asking whether she should have an operation to remove kidney stones. She had kidney stones, and the doctor said that she has to have an operation, and she asked the Rebbe, the Rebbe didn't answer. So here you see the Rebbe didn't answer. So the Rebbe says, "Ah, this one. Well, Kavon, I didn't answer. There's a reason why I didn't answer." That's all he said. In other words, it's not because he just neglected answering. There was a reason why he didn't answer. The Be'al, a short while later, the stones came out by themselves. She didn't do the operation because the Rebbe didn't answer, so she wouldn't do the operation without the Rebbe's answer. They came out by themselves. So Be'al told me this is what the Rebbe meant. The Kavon, he didn't answer because he knew that by not answering, she will not do it. And then he didn't want her to do it, but if he would have told her not to do it, and then the stones came out by themselves,

01:11 Oobi would make a whole fuss. It's a mefis of the Rebbe. And the Rebbe tried to make everything in Derech Hateve. So therefore, by not answering, she didn't do it anyway, and it came out. And now no one is attributing as a mefis. So the Rebbe, by the Rebbe, it was a special Kavon not to answer, so it shouldn't turn into a mefis.
