0341 - Ha'aros Hatmimim V'Anash Part 1

00:00 In the wintertime of Tov Shin Lamed Beis of 1972, when the Bochurim were preparing for Yud Aleph Nisan that year, which was Snasar Shivim of the birth of the Rebbe, the 70th birth of the Rebbe. So one of the things that they decided, one of the achlotes was to make a time when everyone would sit down groups and learn Likutei Sichos, learn the Rebbe Sichos be iyun. And the first time it started was Zayin Adar that year, and it was very much matzliach. Bochurim were learning mitzvot gekocht in the Sichos, and ideas came, questions and answers. So at that time came up an idea, maybe we should make like a, a thing that will come out every week or every once in a while to put in writing the ideas that came up throughout the learning of Likutei Sichos. And that's what happened. The first one that came out was Erev Shabbos Parshas Tetzaveh. It was called Ha'ores Hatomim. Later on, the Rebbe actually added it should be called not Ha'ores Hatomim only, but Ha'ores Hatomim VeHanash. The Rebbe added the word VeHanash. And people would write, different Bochurim, people would write in yonim weekly biurim on different Sichos, kashe, strutsim and biurim on different Sichos. And the Rebbe was happy with it, as we saw that after a while there was a decision to take some of the ha'ores that were written in the weekly papers and put them into a kuntres, like into a printed, not a bound volume, but into a volume.

01:31 So they prepared a volume for Chai Elul Tov Shin Lamed Beis called Kuntres Ha'ores Hatomim VeHanash with a collection on a lot of the ha'ores on different parshas, starting from Terumah all the way to Parshas Shlach. And there was a Pesach Dober written there, given into the Rebbe, and asking the Rebbe to be magiya it and showing him what we're doing and giving out this krach. The Rebbe obviously was very happy. The Rebbe was magiya this Pesach Dober. Now remember one of the words that the Rebbe added when it said in the Pesach Dober, "V'lo chei leze on upenim la'nash v'atim." That's why we are turning to Anash and the Bochurim. And these are the words that said, "Einen yuchelim lehistapik umashehusik beze ad heino." We should not be satisfied what we got till now, et cetera, et cetera, but we should continue and get more people involved and more and more and more. So the Rebbe added the word when it says, "Einen yuchelim lehistapik." We cannot be satisfied with what we already have. The Rebbe added the word, "Ve'rashoyim." Now it reads, "Ve'nenu yuchelim ve'rashoyim." We can't and we're not allowed to stop the way, satisfied and stop the way it is now, but we have to continue more and be add more, bekamus more, bechos, et cetera, et cetera. When that kuntres came out, as I said, for Chai Elul. Then it continued weekly, and then was decided to give out another kuntres. And the other kuntres was given out a little

02:56 later, and that is for the Yemei Ha'slichas Tov Shin Lamed Gimel. And again, with a short Pesach Dober given into the Rebbe, the Rebbe was magiya, and came out another kuntres, a second kuntres with a lot of the ha'ores that were written and printed before in the weekly kuntre- in the weekly papers that were given out. Now just remember that in this, the Rebbe had written that it's b'emes not a good idea to have a Bochurim's chidush, chidush HaTorah reprinted again. Maybe you reprint from some Godol. He didn't write these words. I'm just explaining. He didn't re-- It, it doesn't matter if you reprint some Godol B'Yisroel his chidush HaTorah a second time someplace else, but a bochur as you print it, but to say to reprint it again. So that's why they never gave out a third kuntres. But the Rebbe was happy, was magiya this, this Pesach Dober also, and the second kuntres came out. And this all was in seven seventy, the Ha'ores Ha'tomim VeHanash of seven seventy. With time, also started Ha'ores Ha'tomim VeHanash in Mon- in Morristown, then started Ha'ores Ha'tomim VeHanash also in Montreal, in Ocean Parkway. I feel in Miami we had later Ha'ores Ha'tomim VeHanash. A lot of yeshivas gave out, and over Torah started Ha'ores u'biurim, which was like similar to the Ha'ores Ha'tomim VeHanash and goes on still now ad biyel gel tzedek. And the Rebbe was very, very much mechavev it. And to show that mechavev it, I'll explain in the next broadcast where

04:18 we see how much chivuv the Rebbe had to it.
