0451 - R' Levik Would Speak on Shabbos HaGadol in Many Shuls According to Their Level

00:01 My father, all of a shalom, told me that one Shabbos Hagodol he was in Katrinoslav. Since my mother was from Katrinoslav, she was the daughter of Reb Zalman Vilankin, so he probably was there for Pesach. So he remembers that Reb Levi Yitzchak, the Rebbe's father, said a drasha in the shul where he davened. But then he said a drasha in another shul and then another shul and a few shul and he said a drasha, Shabbos Hagodol drasha. My father went along with him, went where he went, and remembers that he said a drasha in every shul, a different subject, a different inyan, a different drasha. And also in every shul, the drasha was according to the level of the people who davened there. Now there's a shul which had more talmid ha-chachamim, people who were more learned and able to learn, so there he said a deeper drasha. On the other places, he said a simpler drasha, all based on the level of the understanding of the people. So as much as he was a great mekubal and all the greatest things that we know about him, he was able to lower himself to the people who he was talking to. And he said in every shul a different drasha according to the level of the people of that shul.
