0421 - Connection of Other Rabbanim to Chabad Part 3

00:01 Concerning Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, everyone knows his yachas and his relationship to Lubavitch, but I wanna add a few things that I was involved in. I used to give a shir tanya in RJJ, Yeshivat RJJ every week, and amongst the talmidim there were some, a few brothers called Stern that they lived on the same floor as Rabbi Moshe in the co-ops in Lower East Side. So they told me that once they asked him if they were allowed to cross the bridge, I don't know if it's the Brooklyn Bridge or the Williamsburg Bridge, on Shabbos. So the first thing Rabbi Moshe said to them was, "Where do you wanna go?" So they said to the Rebbe, . So on the spot he said, "Of course you could go." Didn't even make a shailah out of it. He also gave them, once they were telling him that they had a yechidas, they were going to yechidas to the Rebbe, so he said, "I just gave Ada Nu Sefer." So he gave him the Sefer to give to the Rebbe, and he wrote a Hakdosha in the Sefer to the Rebbe, very nice Hakdosha. And they told me over the that it said there, one of the things I remember it said, to Mashiach. Very, very nice Hakdosha, and he was, you know, writing it with to the Rebbe. Also, I remember once there was a person who had a yeshiva shul in Crown Heights, and he was ready to sell it to Shvartze. And it was a time

01:17 when the Rebbe started talking about the Shechina, that you shouldn't run away, and it's a chesed to the Yidden who live around it. So there was a din tairah that was being called, and they called him to a din tairah. So they wanted Agudas Harabonim to come to din tairah. So a few people went to speak to Rabbi Moshe to send him as monik because he was the nasi of Agudas Harabonim. So I remember I was one of the people there also. So we came to Rabbi Moshe and started telling him the problem, and they were saying that the area where the shul is, where he wants to sell to Shvartze, Yidden live around there. So I just butted in and I said to Rabbi Moshe that the people, the Yidden live around are not only Lubavitcher, other types of people too. So he looks at me seriously and he says, . And if it would only be Lubavitcher is what? In other words, you're telling me that I should do something because not only Lubavitcher, and if it only be Lubavitcher, what? So we saw his varumkeit towards the Yidden of Lubavitch.
