0267 - Rebbe's Haga'a Written From Bottom to Top

00:01 When the Choizrim used to write into the Rebbe shailas after farbrengen, the Rebbe would always answer on the same page that they wrote the shailas, and he would even use in his answer some of the words of the shailas gufe. If there was not enough space on the page, Rebbe would go continue on the back of the page. So once was interesting that there was a shaila on the farbrengen of Chof Ov Tov Shin Chof He, and the Rebbe started answering the shaila in the top of the page, third line, and he made an arrow which meant look at the back, and we looked at the back, and the back on top of the page was another two lines which was the hemcha of the shaila. But on the front page, on the bottom of the page, the Rebbe started writing concerning something else. So the last line of the page, he wrote two words, and then he made an arrow again, which means that you have to turn over the page. So we turned over the page, and at the back of the page, on the bottom was a whole paragraph, about six, seven lines, that was a continuation of what the Rebbe started writing on the front of the page. But when we started reading it, we couldn't understand. One line to the other didn't make any sense. So we didn't understand what was happening here. Till we realized that what the Rebbe did was, when he turned the page, he started writing

01:18 the answer at the last, the bottom of the page. When that wasn't enough, he continued on top of that. That wasn't enough, he continued on top of that. He, that wasn't enough, he continued on top of that. So really, it was supposed to be read milmata lemaila, from the bottom up. The bottom line, then the line on top, and the line on top. And afterwards, we realized that when the Rebbe made in the front of the page the arrow to turn the page, he also, we didn't realize it l'chatchila, it was not so stark, he made an arrow little pointing up, which meant to tell us that when you read the back, you read it from the bottom up. But l'chatchila, we didn't realize it. So when you look at the page and it says what it says there, you have to read it milmata lemaila, from the bottom line going up till the top.
