0455 - The Rebbe Spoke About Those Challenging Kfar Chabad

00:01 In the beginning when Kvar Chabad was established, it was in an area called Tsafariya. But in the early years, there were other people who laid claim on the area of Kvar Chabad. Exactly what their claim was, I don't know exactly, but there was a whole claim, and there was a whole dispute. Till finally it blew up in Tof Shin Chof Zayin, nineteen sixty-seven. They came out with all kinds of pashkvil and letters and flyers against Kvar Chabad, writing all kinds of bad things about Kvar Chabad. Obviously, the Hasidim in Eretz Yisroel had great daknes nefesh, and obviously the Rebbe had great daknes nefesh. So Purim, the Rebbe made mention of it. He didn't say names, but he made mention of the inyan. And the Rebbe said that since simcha peiritz geder, simcha breaks through all boundaries. That's even said by simchas yontif, certainly by a special simcha like Purim, which is a simcha v'ad li'ad. So the Rebbe said, so the simcha should break through these boundaries also, because now we need it more, because there are those people who came out with hashmotses, which means writing bad things. And those people who were meis a nefesh, used to be meis a nefesh, not meis a nefesh now, because it's known that when the Rebbe would speak about Kvar Chabad, certainly in the earlier years, he would refer, refer to Kvar Chabad as the place where the baalei mesirit nefesh of Russia came to. So the people in Kvar Chabad were the Russian Yidden who

01:22 were meis a nefesh in Russia. So the Rebbe said here that they wrote things against people who were meis a nefesh before and are meis a nefesh now. So we need the simcha to break through these boundaries. And the Rebbe said that since it says, "Yutamu chatoim v'lo yechetim," that the sins should stop, but not the people. So b'meheilah it'll be napchu to'eyre simcha v'sos in v'ikor tilu f'ratzu yoma v'kedem v'tzafein v'enegbo. And it should be without daknes nefesh, because we were yetzir already daknes nefesh. And b'darko neim, b'darko sholom, it should turn around that these people who went out against, should adar haba b'korov mamash, they should even help that it should be l'tilu l'shem ul'tiferes. He didn't say the word Kvar Chabad, but that's what he meant, that Kvar Chabad should be even more l'tilu l'shem ul'tiferes. And zeizon tzu legen a pleitse, that they should also put a shoulder, like the Friediker Rebbe used to say, to the inyan of a faratstu, that it should be that we should see b'peil how it's faratstu yoma v'kedem v'tzafein v'enegbo, nachlibu limitzorim without any limitations, which is connected to the inyan of simcha peiritz geder. It breaks all limitations, breaks all boundaries. So this is how the Rebbe referred to it without mentioning the name Kvar Chabad, without mentioning the names of those people that did it. But it was like a broche that this should stop. And very soon it stopped, and Baruch Hashem, Kvar Chabad came out, and it's a hundred percent

02:41 good, and everything came out to the best, the way the Rebbe wanted.
