0312 - The Rebbe's Sensitivity - Chas V'shalom to Send Back Mashke

00:00 I think this was at the end of the Chof. It was one of the big farbrengens, maybe it was Purim, that there were some bochurim and, uh, maybe yungerleit who weren't there by the farbrengen because they went to some, I think, a college or things like that, to students to speak and farbreng with them on Purim. So they went there, so they weren't able to be by the Rebbe's farbrengen. But I think it was towards the end of the farbrengen that they managed to come back and still be by the end of the farbrengen. And they brought a bottle of mashke from the farbrengen that they had with the students where they were, and they brought it to the Rebbe. The Rebbe took the bottle of mashke like he usually would, poured some in his becher, poured some to the person who gave it, told him to distribute it. I think he said to distribute it here. But then he told him also that this bottle of mashke from this farbrengen that you brought from there to this farbrengen, now send them from this mashke that were the Rebbe sending it to them back. So later he wrote a doch to the Rebbe, and he wrote also there that the mashke that they brought, so he's sending it back from the Rebbe. So by the Rebbe everything was meduyek. I don't remember the exact words. Maybe there is somebody who remembers more details or has a copy of the... I also have someplace a copy,

01:17 but I just can't find it. But the Rebbe, basically this is the text that I remember that the Rebbe wrote. And the words that he wrote that were sent, the mashke was sent back, the Rebbe wrote, I think, "Chas ve'Shalom". What do you mean it was sent back? Sending back means it was rejected here. Chas ve'Shalom, the Rebbe rejected the mashke that they sent. You have to let them know that the mashke was nis kabal kan, the mashke was accepted and came to the farbrengen. It came from the farbrengen. Now from that farbrengen, the Rebbe is sending them mashke. And it happens to be the same bottle that they sent. I don't know if the Rebbe wrote these words, but that's the text. But the idea is that it shouldn't seem, Chas ve'Shalom, that they brought the mashke from the farbrengen to the Rebbe and the Rebbe is sending it back. It means he's rejecting it. Chas ve'Shalom. The Rebbe was so sensitive to every way you express it. And he said they should know that it was nis kabal kan. I think that's what he wrote, it was kabal here or it was kabal by the farbrengen. And from the farbrengen now they're sending that they should also have a chelek in the mashke of the farbrengen.
