0380 - The Rebbe's Connection with R' Levi Yitzchak Freidin Part 2

00:01 Once by dollars, and he would stand there and take pictures, he suggested to the Rebbe that the Rebbe should go to the El on Monday. The Seder used to be that the Rebbe would give out dollars on Sunday, and then after he would give out dollars, he would travel to the El. But it was very hard, obviously. Dollars took so long, and then the Rebbe would go to the El after that. So he suggested once, he said to the Rebbe that the Rebbe should go to the El on Monday. So the Rebbe said to him, "If I would do that, I would have to be Matineder." And the Rebbe continued going on Sunday. But sometimes after that Rosh Hashanah, the Rebbe changed, and the Rebbe started going to the El on Monday. It seems like we don't know for sure that because it was after Rosh Hashanah, and Erev Rosh Hashanah, we make a Hatoras Nedorim, Pamele, maybe the Rebbe had a mind for this, and that's why he started changing that. But we don't know. But that's what happened, that later after Yontev, the Rebbe changed, and the Rebbe started going on Monday. Another thing, in the year Tov Shinun Beis, he came for Yutrat, and he stayed through Chav Bei Shvat. And there was Yechidas Klolis, like it was always after Yutrat, and he took pictures. He was the last one to get the dollar from the Rebbe. And when he got his dollar, he tells the Rebbe that the Rebbe should watch

01:13 his health, should be careful with his health. And he said to the Rebbe, "Midarf a gezuntn Rebbe. We need a healthy Rebbe." So the Rebbe said to him, "Adaink." And he added, "Unir dav horben gezuntach sidim." He said, "Thank you." And then the Rebbe added, "And I need healthy Hasidim." And he really felt uncomfortable at that time, he said, when the Rebbe said that. And the truth was, this was Tov Shinun Beis, that not long after the Rebbe had the stroke, he also had a stroke. And he actually said that year, he said after this happened, before when he left, when he was here, when he got the dollar, the Rebbe told him, "Midarf gezuntach sidim." He said to my brother Gabriel, "I'm afraid that this is my last time I'm here." And that's the truth, that he had a stroke not long after the Rebbe. And then later, eventually, he passed away. But he had that feeling. But this is what the Rebbe said to him. When he said to the Rebbe that the Midarf a gezuntn Rebbe, the Rebbe said to him, "Unir dav horben gezuntach sidim."
