0386 - The Rebbe Comment on a Duch 'Use as an Example' - R' Binyamin Cohen

00:00 When people would write duchim to the Rebbe, means reports of their activities and of their work to the Rebbe, we know there are many letters where the Rebbe would write that they should write beprotis, they should write in detail, explain what happened, et cetera, et cetera, and write very clear. And therefore, when the bochrim would go on merkes shlichas during the summer to different cities, when they would come back, they would write a duch, give it in to merkes because these are merkes shlichims to merkes. But we knew that automatically it goes into the Rebbe, and the Rebbe would look it over. Sometimes the Rebbe would even make comments on certain things that they wrote. But I remember one bocher or one group of bochrim who went on merkes shlichas, and they sent in their duch to the Rebbe, and the Rebbe sent out the duch. And I don't know if he made other comments, but one kolozdike vort that the Rebbe wrote, "Duch le dugme." This is a duch, this is a report that could be used as a role model. In other words, the person wrote it so clear and so detailed that the Rebbe was very happy, and he wrote that this is duch le dugme. That means this is a model that you could show other people how to write a duch to the Rebbe because it was very clear and very detailed, et cetera, et cetera. And some people takessot that duch, and I'm sure some people copied it, and

01:14 from then on, they started writing the duch in such a way.
