0473 - Asking the Frierdiker Rebbe About Tzemach Tzedek in Lifetime of Miteler Rebbe

00:01 By the Fabringen, the Shabbos Parshas VaYetse, Tov Shin Chof Heh, the Rebbe told over a question that he asked the Friediker Rebbe, and the Friediker Rebbe answered him. This is also printed in Likud HaSichas in the Yisofis of Chelek Heh, page 373. And the Rebbe says there that he once asked by the Friediker Rebbe, how did the Tzemach Tzedek behave in a certain inyan in the lifetime of the Mittler Rebbe? Because we know that the Mittler Rebbe and the Tzemach Tzedek had different signein and different styles of chassidus and a different droch and different ways in avoda. So he asked the Friediker Rebbe, in the lifetime of the Mittler Rebbe, how was it by the Tzemach Tzedek? So the Rebbe said that the Rebbe answered him, the Friediker answered him, Vos retstu? What are you talking about? Dem mut der of the Mittler Rebbe given der Nosi, un a Nosi is einer. Then the Mittler Rebbe was the Nosi, was the Rebbe, and a Nosi is one. That's what the Rebbe told over behemshat to a certain inyan. Now when the Rebbe said this, we heard, and I don't remember from who, or somebody who was there that was there by this time with the Fabringen and when the Rebbe asked this by the Friediker Rebbe, or from somebody who heard it from somebody else who was there, but it sounded like a real bar samcha, somebody you could rely on. I don't remember who it was said that when the Friediker Rebbe answered this

01:16 to him, he didn't just say Vos retstu. He called the Rebbe by his name, by his second name. He called him by his name with a nigun of by his name, Vos retstu. In other words, he called him, said his name, and he said, what are you talking about? How could you think that the Tzemach Tzedek was a different derech when that time the Mittler Rebbe was the Rebbe and the Rebbe is one? So therefore, this even the Tzemach Tzedek was in the same signein or derech like the Mittler Rebbe.
