0452 - What the Frierdiker Rebbe Said About the Rebbe's Ha'aros to the Maamorim - R' Shmuel Levitin

00:01 In many of the maimorim that the Rebbe gave out of the Friedike Rebbe, the Rebbe wrote Mara Mekemis and Haores. He actually writes in the Pesach Dover that Al Pip Kudas Kvei Kidushas Meir Vechomi Admur Shlita, based on the command of my father-in-law, Hesafti, I added, and he writes he added Mara Mekemis and Haores at the bottom of the maimer and the bottom of the page. In Sefer Amamorim Tov Shin Ches, there are a lot of Haores and a lot of long Haores, and many of them even in Yonim of Nigle. So in the maimer for Lag Baimer Tov Shin Ches, which is Aniladei Divilai Chikosi, page 182 of Sefer Amamorim Tov Shin Ches, the Friedike Rebbe mentions the inyon of Eshes Yefasteyer. If a person goes to war and he sees a woman, he wants to take her, etc., etc. There the posik says, Vechashakto bo, if you desire her, all kinds of dinim the Torah tells us. So here the Rebbe wrote a long, long Haore in the subject of Eshes Yefasteyer with many details in that inyon, and inyonim in Nigle. So we all know that the story is that Shmuel said to the Friedike Rebbe, Asipastnish, it doesn't fit the pes that you should have such a Haore in a maimer. And there are different versions of what exactly the Friedike Rebbe answered him. But I heard from Harav Abrahams, Rabbi Yosef Abrahams was the senior mashpia bass in yeshiva, who heard from Rabbi Avraham Hesh Cohen, who was a big

01:22 goan. He was the Reisha Keilal in Kvar Chabad. And he heard this from Reb Shmuel Levitan himself, what the Friedike Rebbe answered him. When he came to the Rebbe the first time, I think it was Tishrei Tov Shin Chaf Alef, he spoke to Reb Shmuel, and Reb Shmuel himself told him what the Friedike Rebbe told him, and he himself told us over to Rabbi Abrahams what the Friedike Rebbe said. When he said this to the Friedike Rebbe, the Friedike Rebbe said to him, Reb Shmuel, Mezokta Chafai Chaziza, Taklugerid. Vos Mishtah Zach in a maimer. They say about you that you're a smart person. Why are you getting mixed in? Why are you getting involved in a maimer? In other words, from these words, we see that the Friedike Rebbe considered the Haores of the Rebbe at that time as part of the maimer. He didn't tell him that why do you get involved in things that my son-in-law does, or why do you get involved in these things which is not so important, or it's not your business, or whatever. He used the lotion the way he told over, Vos Mishtah Zacharain in a maimer. He was talking about the Haores of the Rebbe and the maimer of the Friedike Rebbe, and this was while the Friedike Rebbe was the Rebbe. Nevertheless, the Friedike Rebbe referred to the Rebbe's Haores, and even though it was a nigle, the Rebbe's Haores, this is part of the maimer. And he said to him, Vos Mishtah Zach in

02:38 a maimer. So this is much deeper than the other versions that we heard that the Friedike Rebbe said that it's geshmake to learn with his Haores, etc., other expressions. Maybe he said this some other time, but this time he said to Reb Shmuel, Vos Mishtah Zach in a maimer, because he referred, in other words, he referred to the Rebbe's Haore as part of the maimer.
