0408 - The Rebbe Wanted to Help Carry the Garbage Bags - R' Greenbaum

00:01 A man by the name of Rabbi Greenbaum, a Hasid of Sherid, not a Lebav, a Shechasid, but a Hasid of Sherid, told me that his father used to live in the apartment in 1418 President Street, the same building where the Rebbe's mother lived, the Rebbe Tzanchanah. So he says once what happened was that when the Rebbe was going to come, came to visit his mother, he saw his father, this man's father, carrying two bags of garbage. So the Rebbe went over to him and wanted to take one bag from him, and he wouldn't let him take it. And the Rebbe told him, but there is a mitzvah of Ozef Tazvimah, one of the kind of mitzvah of Ozef Tazvimah, that you have to help somebody who's carrying a load. So he says to the Rebbe, I don't care. I'm not going to let the Rebbe do it. It's a past niche. It doesn't fit. And he said there's a din of Zokan Veinu L'fikvede, that if it's a person that it's not respectable for him to do it, then there is no mitzvah of Ozef Tazvimah. The Rebbe still wanted to do it, but he wouldn't let. So even though the Rebbe did not take the bags from him because he didn't let, but nevertheless, the Rebbe opened the door for him. Now, I don't know if it was on the way in or on the way out, but the Rebbe opened the door for him. So the Rebbe did participate in helping him and

01:11 being the kind of mitzvah of Ozef Tazvimah.
