0426 - Connection of Other Rabbanim to Chabad Part 8

00:01 Harav Velberg, who was the Yeshiv Rosh of Agudas HaRabonim, he gave out the journal Hapardes, the Torah journal Hapardes. His connection to the Rebbe is well known. He used to come to Farbrenges, to the big Farbrenges on the weekdays, and his connection is very strong to the Rebbe. He wrote a lot about the Rebbe, et cetera, et cetera. He also was in Miami. He used to come many times to Miami. He gave a shiur in the Yeshiva once, and after the shiur, he spoke also about the Rebbe, the greatness of the Rebbe. And I remember one of the things he said was, I think it was Parsha Yisro, and he said, it says, "Vayishma Yisro." Yisro heard everything that happened, and that's why he came to the Midbar. And then it says, "Vayisaper Moshe." Moshe told Yisro everything that happened. The question that's asked, that if he already heard everything that happened, why did he need Moshe to repeat to him? So other truths have been given. So he said, "I'll tell you what the reason is. Because when you hear things, it's a fact. You hear it. It's a mitzius. But when you hear it from Moshe Rabbeinu, it's Torah, because whatever Moshe Rabbeinu says is Torah. So when Vayisaper Moshe, Moshe told him that's Torah. And the same thing is said in the name of the Rebbe, that whatever the Rebbe says, that is Torah, because whatever he says is everything is min Hashamayim, and that's Torah." That's what he said about the

01:06 Rebbe. Also want to mention that Harav Hershberg from Mexico also was in the Yeshiva and gave a shiur in the Yeshiva. And afterwards, he spoke very highly about Lubavitch. He spoke about his connection to the Friediker Rebbe. He even told over details of his connection to the Friediker Rebbe. I don't remember the protim, but he spoke about it. He spoke his connection to the Rebbe. Also Harav Dovid Lifshitz, who was the Suvalker Rav, I think that was he was called. He was a Izgad Yeshiv Rosh of Agudas HaRabonim. He also gave a shiur in the Yeshiva, and also afterwards spoke very, very highly about the Rebbe. Then there are other people who came to the Yeshiva, actually didn't give a shiur, but when they came, they spoke to me privately, and they were talking about Lubavitch, about the Rebbe. Harav Dalia Felder from Toronto, Harav Berl Schwartzman, the famous Harav Berl Schwartzman. He came to the Yeshiva, and I was in the middle of giving a shiur, and I didn't know who it was. So he sat down to listen to the shiur. And later, when I realized who he was, afterwards, I came over to him. I asked him to give a shiur. He says, "No, I came. I heard a shiur. Why should I give a shiur? I heard a shiur." And he also told me Lubavitch, Lubavitch. He told me also about Lubavitch. So here we have other people who are great Rabbonim of their yachas to Lubavitch, to the Rebbe.
