0354 - The Frierdiker Rebbe's Tears Soaked the Room

00:01 There were some times by the Farbrengens that the Rebbe would speak about something, mainly about the Friedike Rebbe, and you would get the feeling that really he's talking about himself. Like, for instance, I once mentioned one of these broadcasts that one of the Farbrengens, when the Rebbe spoke about the Rabbeim, how each one refers to a different, connected a different Sefirah. And he mentioned that the Friedike Rebbe is Sefiras HaYisod, and he was a Ramaz that he's next, he's Sefiras Hamalchus, by saying that the Shever is Yisod Vechulu. But there it was more clear because he said clearly before that when the Friedike Rebbe said, "Hei Vechulu," it meant him. So when the Rebbe said, "Yisod Vechulu," it meant him. But other times it wasn't that clear, but still you could feel that he was talking about himself. So one of the Farbrengens I wanna mention is Yuchvat. Actually, it was the Farbrengen for Yuchvat, but it was Motzei Shabbos, Parshah Meshallah, Yud Aleph Shvat, Tov Shim Chof Ches. There the Rebbe said that the Friedike Rebbe in the Farbrengen of Simchas Torah, Tov Rish Tadi Gimel, said something which later when the Sichah was printed, the Friedike Rebbe took it out. But the Rebbe said, "I have a copy of it," and, uh, he will say over what it says there, what the Rebbe said there. So the Friedike Rebbe said that in the year Tov Rish Pei, which was the year that his father, the Rebbe Rashab, was Nistalik, he asked me... His,

01:09 his father asked him to accept certain things upon himself, which I did, but I gave a condition it should be Bechesed Uberachimim. And then the Friedike Rebbe said, "Dos hot mikh kost a sar gezunt." It cost him a lot of health to actually fulfill it. And he said, "The walls of my room were soaked with tears to make sure shelo ein l'nageah ve shelo le'rachik, that I shouldn't offend anybody and I shouldn't be meracheik, I shouldn't push away anybody." And the Rebbe said this means that the Friedike Rebbe, when he accepted in the Siyus, he asked his father it should be Bechesed Uberachimim, and his father agreed, but nevertheless it was not enough. He still felt that he had to cry, and his, the wall was, of his room was full of tears, soaked with tears that this should happen. And dinyu of tears means that it so much affects you that it goes beyond, it overflows and goes into tears. And he said that this had-- for this he had to have tears so much that the room became soaked with tears. And the Rebbe explained what that means. The room is a place where people come in under the same makiv. So you can imagine the Rebbe's room. It says, "Mi sheein lo bayis ein lo adam," that if you don't have a house, then you're not a person. So you could imagine that the house of the Rebbe is connected to the etzem of the Rebbe. Just by a person, it makes

02:22 you into a person. So by the Rebbe, this was e-etzem of the Rebbe. So the room, the walls of this room was soaked with tears in order that when people come into this room and they're under one makiv, who really seemingly deserve to be, to be offended, and some people that offending wouldn't help them and they deserve even to be thrown out, to be nesrachik. And he peled on himself that this shouldn't happen. And then the Rebbe said that this was a lesson that for us also that this is how we have to behave. We can't say, "I'm only gonna be mecharev people, bring people into m- to me, to my room, only if the person is deserving and the person is not somebody who deserves to be thrown out." So here we see that even though the person deserves to be offended, deserves to be thrown out, so the lesson is that we have the koach of the Friedike Rebbe not to do it. And the Rebbe said this applies even after the hisltalkes of the Friedike Rebbe. He said that means that now we even also have that koach to not to offend, not to, uh, and not to be meracheik. And when the Rebbe spoke this thingian, you could feel that the Rebbe is saying about himself that how much kochas he put in in order to make sure not to offend anybody, even those people who deserve to be offended, deserve to be thrown out, not to do it. And from

03:33 the voice of the Rebbe and the way he said it and the way everyone was feeling it was that he's talking about himself, that he himself peled on himself because he said it's even after the hisltalkes of the Friedike Rebbe, it's still there, et cetera, et cetera. So even though he said that this is a lesson for everyone, but you could see that he was talking about himself. I don't know if when you hear the recording you'll also get that feeling, but b'shas ma'aseh, we were all standing there, we were talking after Farbrengen, you could feel in the air that the Rebbe was talking about himself and expressed himself how he peled on himself that chas v'shalom nobody he should offend, chas v'shalom, and he should be meracheik, push away, chas v'shalom.
