0447 - Hanocha Not Mugah - Edited Part 1

00:01 Concerning the means that someone wrote down what the Rebbe said by a fabrengen, but the Rebbe did not edit it. The word meant writing down what the Rebbe said. means to put it down , to put it down in writing of what the Rebbe said orally. So sometimes Rebbe would be and look at the is all by the Rebbe, but most of the fabrengens were not by the Rebbe. The Rebbe didn't edit it. But after the fabrengen, the would write down what the Rebbe said, what they remember, what they understood from the Rebbe said, and that's called the . And since the Rebbe was a , it is called . Now, the first years of the Rebbe's Nasiyas, the Rebbe did not allow to print in any form or shape these if they were not . All he allowed was that they should type it up, not even make it in a stencil. Those days there used to be a stencil. Even the lower level of a stencil was like the blue stencils that the schools used to use to make some copies. The Rebbe didn't allow that either. So what they used to do, it was typed, and when they typed, they put in many papers with carbon copies in between. So when you would type it, all these copies would get what is typed. They would put in very skinny paper. It was called onion skin paper, and put carbon copies in between, like 15 copies at a time, fifteen papers with carbon

01:24 copy. So when you typed the , you'd come out with fifteen copies. To make copies on a copy machine like we do now was not possible. It was very expensive. Probably cost a dollar a page. In those days, a dollar was like, now who knows how much? A dollar a page. So they used to put these copies in, and that's how they would type, and then somebody else would type it again and come up with the copies, and that's how it was . But the Rebbe did not want it to be printed in any form or shape. This went on till about . they started already with the, uh, the of the Rebbe to give out the fa-- the on the blue stencils, which was a very, very unofficial way of printing things, but it wasn't printed. The words were in typing. The font was a type, only a typewriter type, and they c-came out the blue copies. That was already more than before, but it's still not really official. Came to about , the Rebbe even allowed another level, which is to have it on the black stencils. Black stencil was already called a Gestetner stencil, it used to be called, and that was more official, but still not official. It was not anything of official print, and that the Rebbe allowed. The reason the Rebbe did not allow the officially printing of the because since he didn't check it over, there could be mistakes there. It all depends on what they rem-- people

02:44 remembered, how they understood it, things like that. So therefore, the Rebbe didn't want. Even when they did not do it official, the Rebbe wanted it should say . It should say clearly that this is not edited, not edited by the Rebbe. And actually, when they gave out afterwards on the stencils, first the blue and then the black, every page on the bottom it said that this is , only something that was written by people and it's , it's not edited by the Rebbe. The reason why the Rebbe wanted it that way is because as the Rebbe wrote once that I don't remember exact, but I think these were the words, which means in spite of all the warnings that you warn, like writing that it's , still all the mistakes go on my account. That means if a person finds a mistake, he will attribute it to the Rebbe. He won't say, "Well, probably the person who wrote it down didn't understand or didn't write it correctly." Probably will say that the Rebbe made a mistake . So the Rebbe said, "So how could you be ?" So the Rebbe originally did not want it to be . Then there was a from the Rebbe, which was , I think, to that I mentioned before, when someone gave in to the Rebbe one of the of a fabrengen and said, "I want to be this to yeshivas, to, to different places." The Rebbe wrote like this: "I mentioned many times in the underline the word

04:07 come upon me, especially when it gets to those people who are not yet, that when you give something out, it has to have . It has to have the sources. especially to . You have to make sure that you write if there is any question on what it says in the from a or from a , you have to it. You have to answer it. things like that. Certainly-- at, at least there should be a hint to the answer. for sure the Rebbe writes a . A has to be written as it is, because when the Rebbe would say a , certainly he would not say the way it's written in the many times. And even not always it is quoted the way it's written. But when you write it down and you , it has to be written properly the way it says. certainly the Rebbe says in that that the person gave in. In this case, was hinted to a question that's there from a dean of . Concerning this dean of somebody's , there shouldn't be a question from . the Rebbe writes is understood exclamation, two exclamation points, that no one k-- didn't pay attention to it. So the Rebbe's saying, like, "In this that you gave in as a sample to send out, I found things which is not exact." So but mainly the Rebbe did not really want it should come out. But years later, beginning of the already, the Rebbe was that should be printed. And the reason

05:46 is, we will talk about it in the next voice note.
