0283 - Harav Ruderman in Lubavitch

00:00 During the years that the yeshiva is in Miami, we had a lot of Rabbanim, Rosh Yeshivas, Gedolei Yisrael come and visit the yeshiva. Some of them even gave a shiur in yeshiva, spoke to the bochrim, et cetera, et cetera. One of the people who came once and gave a shiur in yeshiva was HaRav Ruderman, who was the Rosh Yeshiva in Ner Yisrael in Baltimore. And he gave a shiur on Mesichta Pesachim. But then at the end, he said to the bochrim, he told everyone that he was in Lubavitch. His father took him to the Rebbe Rashab in Lubavitch, and he came there for the year 5683 for Rosh Hashanah. He says he was young then, a child. He says he even remembers the dibur hamachal of the maimer. And the maimer started with the words, "Yontef shel Rosh Hashanah shel chol iyun beShabbos." Doesn't remember the maimer, but he remembers the dibur hamachal of the maimer. And then he went into yichidus to the Rebbe Rashab with his father. And he said the Rebbe Rashab gave him a bracha. And the bracha was, "Zos vaktsen in Torah u'nin yiras shamayim." And he said to the bochrim, "And since the Rebbe gave me that bracha, I am also giving you that same bracha." And he gave the bochrim the bracha, "You should vaktsen in Torah u'nin yiras shamayim."
