0438 - Saying Tehilim by the Bima and Not by the Amud

00:02 Concerning the meaning in the Lubavitch that we say the Yom Tillim after davening, many people are not aware that originally when the Friedike Rebbe made this minig, he said clearly that the Tillim should be said by the chazan, by the bimah where we read, not by the omit. And the Rebbe spoke about it, Vofti Shitof Shelamit. And the Rebbe said that when the Friedike Rebbe made this minig, that's what he said. And the Rebbe said that the, the Pashna is the reason is, so it shouldn't seem as if you're adding to the davening. And it's a-- not a good thing, and he brings Rai, it's not a good thing that you should add to what the filler is established. But mainly, if you say it by the bimah, you could see that it's an extra thing. It's not part of davening. But when the Rebbe gave this reason, he said that he didn't hear it clearly, Befedesh, that this is the reason, but that's what he assumes is the reason. Which is a pele, because the Friedike Rebbe said this on Simchas Toirah tof reis pei zayin, as it's printed in Sefer Hasichas tof reis pei zayin, page one-sixteen. And there in the Sicha, it says, Befedesh, that the reason why you should say it by the bimah, not by the omit, is it shouldn't seem like you're adding to the tefillah. And here the Rebbe said he didn't hear it, Befedesh, but that's what he assumes. So it could be one of the two.

01:14 The best pshat probably would be that the Rebbe wasn't there by that farbrengen. Actually, there is a sofig in Lubavitch whether the Rebbe was by the Friedike Rebbe's Simchas Toirah tof reis pei zayin. Now, if we're gonna learn that he wasn't there, it makes sense that he didn't hear that. He just heard that the Friedike Rebbe said that it should be done by the bimah, but he didn't hear the details that this was the reason. Or it could be a different pshat, which is not so mistaber, is that the Friedike Rebbe did not say it. Just the one that wrote it down in his mind when he heard it, it made sense to him it was for this reason, so that's why he wrote it down that way. But I don't know if he could say that, but it's a possibility. But more mistaber is that the Rebbe wasn't there, which would, like, solve this question whether he was there or not, and therefore he didn't hear it, and therefore the Rebbe said that he didn't hear the reason, but he assumes that's the reason. But the Rebbe continued and said that nowadays we see we say it by the omit, not by the bimah. So the Rebbe said the simple reason for that is because of tirchatitziburit, it should take up too much time. Like this, the chazan stands by the omit, and as soon as he finishes Aleinu, he continues with Tillim, it goes straight. But if he's gonna have to leave and

02:22 go to the bimah, he's gonna go take time. Plus the meantime, this guy will walk out, the other person will walk out here, go here. Some people will forget to say the Tillim. But mainly, that's why it's there. The only question is, but what do we do with the problem that it looks like you're adding to the tefillah? So the Rebbe said, that's why we say Ach Tzadikim before Tillim. 'Cause there is a story you should say Ach Tzadikim at the end, mamash at the end of everything. Especially when the Rebbe brings from the Rebbe-- from the Marshall, the Teshuvot HaMarshall, where he writes that ki sheyotzo simi be sakneses, when I went out of the shul, I would sit down, a drop before I go out, and I would say the posek, Ach Tzadikim v'ed lishmecha yesh v'shor m'spanecha. So it seems like you say it towards very, very end. So why do we say it after Aleinu before Tillim? So the Rebbe said, because since this is the end, so by saying Ach Tzadikim, we show that we finished with the tefillah, and the Tillim that we're saying after that is not an addition to the tefillah, but it's something extra that we're saying after the tefillah. And that's what the Rebbe said. That's why that's the way we do it. And the Rebbe connected also to the three pesukim that, uh, Altira and the other pesukim we also say at the end of a-- before the Tillim. But the main thing was

03:34 concerning the posek Ach Tzadikim, that by saying it there, we take care of the problem how we're able to say Tillim after davening when by the omit, when it seems that this is a hemshach to the tefillah. So by doing that, we take care of that problem.
