0353 - The Mikva the Rebbe Used on Shabbos - Rabbi Harlig's Shul

00:01 In the chofs, I remember people were wondering when on Shabbos the Rebbe went to the mikveh, where did he go to the mikveh, etc., etc. So I remember once we were sitting in 770, myself and some of Chaverim, early morning Shabbos, six o'clock in the morning. We were there because, as you know, in order to keep your place, in the day there was a fabregen, those that would come earlier would get the earlier place on the bench or whatever the shooter, the line was. So people would come early. So we were there about six o'clock, I remember six or six thirty in the morning. Walks in Epseid, not a Lubavitcher, and he tells us he's just coming from the mikveh in Rabbi Harlech's shul. Meir Harlech's father had a shul on Rogers Avenue, and there he had a mikveh. So he said he's coming from there. But he said, I want to tell you that today the mikveh, something was wrong, must have been wrong with the heater. The mikveh was boiling, poshet boiling, that you could get burnt when you walk in. So he says he couldn't go in. But I want to tell you, he said, that when I was there, I saw the Rebbe come. It was six o'clock in the morning, he said, or before six. He said the Rebbe came and also tried to see if it's hot. And he saw it was poshet boiling. I mean, it was poshet boiling that you could poshet burn your skin off. And

01:13 he says, and the Rebbe also didn't go in, and he left. So there we saw that the Rebbe goes to the mikveh on Shabbos over there by Rabbi Harlech's place early in the morning at six o'clock or whatever time it was, five thirty or six o'clock in the morning.
