0284 - The Rebbe Asked Who Is That Bochur

00:00 We know that to the Rebbe's farbrengens, a lot of people who were not Lubavitcher would also come, certainly to the weekday farbrengens and to Hakofes. And this included Hasidic Sheyiden and Litvish Sheyiden, people who are frum, people who are not frum yet, et cetera, et cetera. But the Rebbe would not make any note of somebody who he is. I mean, there were thousands of people that no one knew he was, and nevertheless, the Rebbe didn't make a note to say who is this person. But I remember once by Hakofes, this was in the Chofs, that there was a bocher. You could see he was a bocher that was dancing amongst the crowd by Hakofes. So I remember seeing that the Rebbe turned around to Rabbi Chadakov, and the Rebbe like said something. And what it was is he asked to find out who this bocher is, which was strange. But the peyot, Rabbi Chadakov found out, and that they found out that this bocher was a goy. He was not Jewish. So bechalal, even though the Rebbe did not point out that anybody tried to find out who he is, when they gave this bocher, the Rebbe did, and we found out that he was not Jewish. The Rebbe didn't say to do anything, but nevertheless, the Rebbe made a point of finding out who he is because obviously he saw whatever that he's not Jewish, et cetera, and he wanted to know what he's doing there.
