0339 - Rebbe Said Maamorim in the Morning

00:01 There were a few times that the Rebbe came suddenly Shabbos morning to seven seventy, and whoever was there, he called them into his room, and he said a maimer for them. For instance, Shabbos Parshah Tesaveh, Parshah Zocher, which was Tes Oder Tov Shin Chai. Also Shabbos Parshah Acharei Mot Kedeshim, which was Yud Gimel Iyar Tov Shin Chof Alef. The Rebbe called the people in and said a maimer. Actually, Reb Yael wasn't even there, and the Chazor and the Anoche had to be done without him, etc., etc. The Shabbos before Yud Shvat, Tov Shin Chof Beis, the Rebbe also came to seven seventy. He came early in the morning, I think around eight o'clock. And there was, he told the Bocher that he should tell everybody who was there, should tell them to come into his room, and he's going to say a maimer. The Pe'il, when he came in and he said this, he saw that in the zal, there was a minyan going down for Kriyas HaTeirah. Since it's the Shabbos before Yud Shvat, everyone's having an aliyah, so you have to make separate minyanim. So there was a minyan going down of Kriyas HaTeirah. So then when the Rebbe went into his room and the people went into his room, the Rebbe said, this is what they told. I wasn't there. I came mamish about ten, fifteen minutes later. But they say that the Rebbe said that the minyan who was by Kriyas HaTeirah should go back. In other words, they heard that

01:17 there's going to be a maimer. I think that's what happened. No one realized what they're doing, and they just left the Sefer Teirah. And the Rebbe said that the minyan should go back to the Sefer Teirah that's there. And no one at the first moment moved. Then the Rebbe said that they should lock, someone should lock the door. And again, the Rebbe didn't point at anybody specific, so no one felt achrayis to go and lock the door. So the door wasn't locked. This is what they said over when I came later. And the Rebbe looked and waited a moment. And then the Rebbe had his Chumash open, obviously to the posuk that he was planning to start a maimer with. The Rebbe closed the Chumash, and he said, heint vet ke maimer nid zayn. Today will not be a maimer. And there was no maimer that morning. And from then on, this never happened. Till then, it happened a few times. And actually, Rabbi Mentlik missed the first time it happened. So from then on, every Shabbos, he would come to seven seventy by eight o'clock. Every Shabbos, just in case there'll be a maimer. And that's why Tache Tov Shin Chof Alef, he was there by the maimer. And he was one of the people who led the Chazor then. And he continued doing that later on, too. But there was no maimer from Tov Shin Chof Alef. The last one, that was the maimer Shabbos morning before davening. Then the Rebbe wanted to

02:30 do it Shabbos for Yud Shvat Tov Shin Chof Beis, but he didn't. And from then on, it never happened again. But Rabbi Mentlik still kept on coming, saying just in case there'll be a maimer, he wouldn't miss it. But Lape'il, since then, there wasn't again.
