0361 - Instructions from the Rebbe Regarding Yeshiva Gedola of Miami Part 4

00:00 Bechlal, when there was a group of schluchim, talmidim ha-schluchim going to Miami, they would stand by in the gadol natachten, and the Rebbe, when he would go in for mincha or for maariv, would go in, he would say a few words or say a sicha and give them a brocha, and he also sometimes gave them dollars and gave them kuntresim. So I wanna mention one of those times, and this was Wednesday, Parshat Bemidbar Chof Vo Yir Tov Shin Lamed Tes. They were standing gadol natachten, and the Rebbe went out and he spoke to them. And the Rebbe said that this is Parshat Hashavua, it's Parshat Bemidbar, talks about Levi, and Shevet Levi is the one that carried the ordinances, and it goes on to talmidim. So they should help, you should be matzliach, and the Rebbe said some words. But then the Rebbe said something so interesting. It says in Zohar, and the Rebbe Rashab brings it in the Ma'amar, that concerning Rashbi, it says in Zohar that Moshe Rabbeinu had karne heid, he had his face shined. But it says in pasuk that he did lo yoda ki koren ai ponav, Moshe didn't know that his face shined. So it says in Zohar that Rashbi said, Rav Shimon bar Yochai said, ana yada ina da'am po inihirin, but I do know that my face shines. So the Rebbe says, Zol dos zein ba'ayich. And then he said you should be matzliach in learning, et cetera, for tzidka yad, et cetera, et cetera. Maybe they

01:16 could think, Zohar says the ma'ala of the Rashbi, that the Rashbi is different to Moshe. Moshe lo yoda ki koren ai ponav, and the Rashbi said, "I do know my face shines." And he gave a brocha to the bochurim coming to learn in Miami that this thing that's by the Rashbi, Zol zein ba'ayich. It's very interesting. Expecting that the bochurim should be in that madrega. And in the ha'ara, when this sicha was mugia, and, uh, printed later in the Sichas Kodesh, page four twenty-six, there is a ha'ara on these words where it says that Moshe did not know and you should have it. So the ha'ara is because the Arizal writes that beder-- bederus elu hachreini mitzvah legaleh zeh es ha-chochma, that in these generations it's a mitzvah to reveal pnimat ha-Torah. V'meile, nowadays you could be like the Rashbi. But nevertheless, this is something so special that the Rebbe to say that you should be Rashbi. Now, I want to mention also that l'chorah it seems from the Zohar that Moshe Rabbeinu was k'viyochol nelo madrega min haRashbi because Moshe lo yada ki koren ai ponav and the Rashbi did know. So when they gave in the sicha to the Rebbe to be magiya, the way it was written was the ma'alas of Rashbi in the meaning from karne heid, az ana yada ina da'am po inihirin, that he said, "I know that my face shines." Then it says, Masha en ken Moshe lo yada ki koren ai ponav. But Moshe did not know.

02:38 They said the word Masha en ke Moshe. When the Rebbe was magiya, he took out the word Masha en ke and he put a vav there instead. U'Moshe lo yada ki koren ai ponav. That means that the Rashbi said, "I know my face is shining," and Moshe lo yada didn't know. But the word Masha en ke went out, which l'chorah the pshat would be, and it says Masha en ke and it stresses more that the Rashbi had a ma'ala over Moshe Rabbeinu. Rashbi had this ma'ala Masha en ke, but Moshe didn't. But the Rebbe took out Masha en ke means Moshe had his ma'ala. Vayst is that the meaning of lo yada ki koren ai ponav is also a ma'ala. It says in Chassidus that lo yada is also a ma'ala that's higher in madregas. So the Rebbe took out the word Masha en ke and left it like I'm thinking to hint that Moshe lo yada is not a Masha en ke. It's not like his ma'ala is not there. Whichever way, maybe this is the pshat, maybe not, but that's what happened. The Rebbe took out the word Masha en ke and, and left a vav. Another thing that I wanna mention, that in the letter that the Rebbe sent dated tehilas Kodesh Tammuz, Kodesh Hagulah Tov Shin Lamed Daled, also this was written to the schluchim, but lepiel the heading of the letter is not talmidim ha-schluchim of Yeshiva Gedola Miami Beach, but it says Talmidei HaYeshiva Gedola Miami Beach. And the

03:50 Rebbe actually added a word with ksav yad, the letter he. It said Talmidei Yeshiva Gedola. The Rebbe added HaYeshiva Gedola Miami Beach, a he. And so mich Tov chali that like a-- also like a chali prati that he sent. And at the end was printed, typed, V'birchas hatzlocha v'chol omer umetich simcha u'gula mikol dvorim ameinim be'zemah v'alavim b'irchas chag ha-gula. This was all typed. And then the Rebbe added with ksav yad kodesh, U'l'psuras teves. And then he writes, Psuras teves mitalmud Torah. Psuras teves of your learning. And then in two dashes, shel kol echad ve'echad, from each one of you, be'yaveh veyirah. He's writing to the talmidim of the Yeshiva Gedola a brocha that they should learn Torah in each one of them, not just some. Should learn Torah be'yaveh veyirah. Now we know be'Chassidim ahavah veyirah, ahavah veyirah is such a high madrega. And the Rebbe gives this brocha to the talmidim of Yeshiva Gedola. It doesn't even say here talmidim ha-schluchim. Here it's to all the talmidim of Yeshiva Gedola. Yeshiva-- And the Rebbe added a he, HaYeshiva Ge-- Talmidei HaYeshiva Gedola Miami Beach, and he added that each one should be matzliach, should have psuras teves in the learning Torah with ahavah veyirah, with ahavah, love of Hashem and fear of Hashem, which is a high madrega, but this is what the Rebbe accept- expected from the talmidim in Yeshiva Gedola Miami.
